The Shoe Bank is, as expected, of course, very simple and cheap in material and workmanship. But for the price you can not expect. Had often such a shoe bank and for the area in front of the entrance door, the perfect, simple filing. Have the wood joints slightly glued with wood glue from the hardware store and now keeps them super and no longer wobbles. Otherwise, the shelf boards would eventually slip out of the wood joints. With nails you can actually forget about it, because the wood is too hard and especially to sensitive. Dear glue! I am happy.
