How many pairs of shoes does it hold?

It depends on shoe size and how you arrange the shelves. The two door tiers and three drawers give room for a household's everyday pairs, but bulky boots take up more space than flats.

No. The main material is MDF, which is stable and smooth but not as durable as solid wood and can swell if it stays wet.

Does it need to be anchored to the wall?

A tall cabinet like this should be fixed to the wall, especially in homes with children or pets. Use the supplied hardware or a wall strap if it is not included.

How long does assembly take?

Expect a couple of hours for one person and faster with two. Lay out the panels first and check that all fittings are present before starting.

Can it be used outside a hallway?

Yes. It works as a general storage cabinet in a bedroom, laundry room or home office, though MDF makes it a poor choice for damp rooms like bathrooms.
