Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Gigantic 50 Pair Shoe Rack - White by Merrick
Customer Review: Good and bad points
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all, I agree with the reviewer who said this sucker wasn't that easy to put together - after several frustrating attempts (the bars kept popping out of the frame), I finally glued it all together, and that did the trick. Once together, it's a really nice unit, easy to use, and huge storage capacity. However, I noticed early on that it looked like it was eventually going to collapse. I guess one could say I was overloading it, but I wasn't putting anything other than normal shoes on it, and I wasn't overpacking it. I attempted a few stopgap solutions, but finally the inevitable happened this past week. Quite the mess. And one of the stacking parts is broken right off, so it's really not repairable. I really liked the organizational benefits of the rack while it was up, so now I'm searching for something similar but a little bit sturdier.Customer Review: TERRIBLE!

This unit fell apart after one week. It says that it reccommneds securing it to a wall, but there is no way of doing so-trust me, I tried and even showed hardware store photos. It is rediculous. Nothing is supplied ifone was to try to secure it. I ended up drilling a hole thru the plastic and making a huge hole in my wall, and untill on ehas 6" screws, it will nto work. I do not reccommend this.Customer Review: Once together the product is wonderful.

The shoe rack was not as "easy to assemble" as was indicated. I put it together and stacked my shoes on it and within an hour I heard a crash...it fell over. So I put it together again only this time I used a rubber mallet to "help" me. It is still together so either I needed the mallet to help with the assembly or I scared it into staying together.Customer Review: Fell Apart

I purchased this based upon the above review and was extremely disappointed. While putting it together the plastic joints literally fell apart in my hands.Customer Review: inexpensive, easy shoe solution
Summary: 4 Stars
It took me about 10 minutes to set up this rack, including a few minutes to locate a hammer. It says no tools required, but a hammer with a cloth over the head (or a rubber mallet) is helpful to insert the poles into the side fittings. Immediately after setup, I noticed that I couldn't fit 5 pairs onto each rack. I could fit 4.5 for an overall total of 45 pairs, not 50 as it claims. I'm sure the capacity depends on individual shoe size. For reference, I'm a women's 7.5. Another item of note is the short distance between racks. Some are about 5 in. apart so it's a little tricky if you have wedges with 4-5 inch heels. Boots only fit on the top rack. I just got the item, so it's too early to determine how sturdy it is with use, but the value of having 45 pairs of shoes on immediate display cannot be overstated. When I was loading up the racks, I found several shoes in boxes that I had forgotten I owned. Now I can't forget because they're right in front of me.
