Rather disappointed with this really. It probably does take 24 pairs of shoes but ONLY if they are exactly the right size. It's also not well designed or made. My husband and I are both size 6/7 UK and we struggled to get many of our shoes in. If we remove the drawer divider, my ankle boots will fit (but at a slight angle), shoes fall about and we only get 3 prs per drawer. With divider you have to be very careful which shoes you put where and only flattest fit on top, and anything more than size 6, again, has to be at an angle. Furthermore ones on bottom of the two rows risk damage as they get squeezed against shelf (see pic). Anyone with feet more than size 5 or lots of boots/built up soles/high heels would be advised to look elsewhere. As far as overall design is concerned, this is poor. There is no cut out back/side to accommodate skirting boards and no way to adapt without the unit falling apart. This means that there would normally be a significant and unsightly gap at the back against the wall at the top. We got round this by leaning the unit against the wall so it slopes backwards and gap is minimal. This works OK but the thin back panel is visible at the top. The back panel should have been inset within the back surround and/or the top shelf extended back further towards the wall so it overhangs the plinth and the unit could sit level. One of the drawers also sits proud so looks unsightly.
