Baxton Studio Warren Shoe-Storage Cabinet, Espresso

I was really looking forward to having a cabinet to put all of my families shoes, but when I received the product it had a P65 cancer warning label on one of the panels. The seller failed to include that fact in the product information. The reason for the warning is the use of formaldehyde in the production process of this product, which over time can seep out of the wood eventually leading to some form of cancer. For more information on the results of this process, look up Lumber Liquidators and California compliant flooring. They used formaldehyde in their flooring and the consumers were getting cancer. This item is going to be returned.

I love this cabinet, so much that I ended up buying 2! It stores all my shoes very well and I was able to store my tall boots in the last cabinet. The second one I bought was to put under my TV to store our DVDs.

Shoe cabinet arrived packed very carefully and organized with no missing parts or pieces. I wish it came with an anti-tip hardware with pre-drilled holes for households with small children, as I am always a little uncomfortable I’ll cause cosmetic damage on particle board when I have to drill them. Assembly was about average when compared to other furniture that comes in a box. No trouble as long as you are organized and follow directions. I added on addhesive drawer liner to the surface of the shelves to make them more durable and cleanable (because shoes). I am happy with this purchase. As long as you are not expecting hardwood heirloom quality furniture, this is an excellent quality shoe cabinet.

Just received this item a few days ago. Not only was it inexpensive- it's perfect for what I needed it for. Living in a city, space is a huge issue so, a lot of my furniture is chosen based on size. I could go to Pottery Barn and get something like this that's real wood, heavy, and extremely durable. However, I would pay 10 times the amount and, it would be too large. My dining room is split space next to my kitchen (not a separate room but separated enough due to the wall layout). So, I keep my printer and paper shredder in there and the way I've had it set up- it doesn't seem hideous or out of place. The issue was that I had office supplies in 3 different areas of the apartment which, drives me crazy bc I'm super organized and like things to be logical in how they're stored. So, I ordered this for my dining room space as a cabinet to store office supplies. The back side is basically that foldable heavy cardboard that you insert into the grooves. But, no one will see it. The rest of the product is sturdy and it looks nice. Assembly was pretty easy (took a little over an hour but, I was exhausted when I did it so I think it could be done in 45min-an hour). The front panels on the doors are definitely fragile. So, if you have kids or aren't mindful when you open/close things...not sure how well they with withstand the abuse. I was also able to use shoe box size containers inside on some of the shelves. But the next size up of containers- was too big. But given the shelves are on pegs, you can choose to take out a shelf if needed. That probably wouldn't be an issue if you're actually using this for shoe storage though. Since I like things labeled and in containers- it forced me to take most of the stuff out of containers and just store on the shelves. Which, I was okay with because there's plenty of space to store things by category on the same shelves;-) I've attached a photo here of the product once assembled. It's not fancy but I think if it's in the right space in a home- it can look nice. For me, it works in the small space that I have it. I will say that it's lower in height than my dining room table. Which, isn't an issue for be based on how it's being used and where it's located. But, if you're storing this in an entryway or somewhere that it matters how furniture looks- I would maybe suggest looking at the measurements and taping them off on your wall first to see if it's something that would work for you and your space. Great purchase!

This shoe rack is beautiful. It looks like a piece of furniture that could be out in the center of a home and not be out of place. It is very sturdy, but it is particle board, so it is not indestructible. I was surprised by how heavy it was when I received it. The assembly was pretty quick and very easy. The instructions were very clear and simple to follow. The shelves are not moveable, which I do feel is a negative for this shoe rack. The only way that heels or boots can be added inside is to lay on their sides. Which is fine if you don't wear them often, but the constant sliding could damage the shoes. If the shelves could be repositioned, you could solve this issue. The only way to solve the problem as it stands is to completelu remove a shelf, which seriously dimishes the amount of shoe storage. I love this shelf. I think it is beautiful, and I highly recommend it. Just be aware that if you primarily wear heels or tall shoes, this may not be right for you.

I bought two and placed them side by side. Looks great but not simple to assemble. Took a good 20 minutes! I gave it 4 stars because it's not easy to put together and I wish the shelves were spaced a little further apart. I have to squeeze some shoes in to make them fit (men's shoes).
