Putting these together was fine, though I was a little worried now and then that I might break something bapping them in place. Nothing did, though. They're sturdy things. On the model I chose, the door is clear, and the other five sides are all a translucent smokey shade. They sit nicely atop each other, which I like -- it doesn't feel like they're going to slide off and fall.My one issue is that the dimensions given are all the outer dimensions. Now, I did expect that, but I didn't expect the inset of the top and bottom to be as deep as they are. They take a good inch and a half at least off of the inside height. And that, unfortunately, means that they're too short for a standard Dr. Martens boot. I was looking for a way to display a couple pairs of Docs I have, and alas these are not it. There weren't any other reviews that said whether they might fit or not, so I took the risk. So, if anyone else was aiming to do the same: nope. Keep looking. There's a bigger box out there that does work.If you're looking to display something shorter than a standard Doc, though, it's a good box.
