1. The plugging together is easy from our perspective. My wife and I had set up the whole shelf in 15 minutes, in spite of occasional disturbance of our 11 months old child. No great effort needed.
2. The bearing surface a tear. Course, if you first put the long sides and the short, which must be assembled from the inside, then it can only tear. One would have to (1 * the Forgiver addressed) be so smart, and first insert the short sides. Only when they are plugged in, the long. Then there no problems because the short sides are inserted from the outside on the long.
3. Is wrong and crooked. So when we do not. We are even happy about the small Verwindungsmöglichkeiten. So every bump in the ground is super balanced without it therefore seems unstable or cheap. You have to overcome the shelf Simply by the complete structure something in itself, then it will fit on any ground. After filling with shoes everything is super stable and stands straight.
For me so strong buy recommendation. My wife is very satisfied, and then the world is still in order.
