I'm reorganizing my closet. For the last several years I had those closet hanging shoe organizers that are cloth but they only work for smaller shoes and they were taking up precious hanging space in my closet. I browsed several of the stackable shoe organizers and decided on these because I liked that they fold collapse when not in use (some of the other brands you had to assemble and disassemble every piece). These also seemed the most sturdy, and the cost was about the same price as the others that weren't as stable looking. I was very happy when they came and I got them out of the box. While I didn't see any instructions it was fairly easy to figure out setup. The sides unfold and then you can reach inside the box and find the back piece, pull it down from the top center and push it towards the back until it snaps in place. For the front piece with the opening lid, I reached inside the box, felt for the lid opening tab and pulled that down and you then you can see the frame for the front piece come down a bit, then you pull that frame towards the front of the box and snap it in place like the back piece, and close the lid opening. I'm about to order another set because I'm loving the look and storage in my closet, and there is room for more of these. I'm about 8.5/9 womens and most of the boxes I can fit more than 1 pair. I have a few flats in one box, 2 pairs of shorter heels in another. If you have bulky or big shoes you'll probably only be able to get one pair in each. I'm planning on putting my smaller purses/clutches in whenever I order another set. I didn't realize until after I ordered that this is from Utopia which is a brand I have several other household items from and have always been happy with their quality and pricing. Definitely recommend!
