I bought this right after buying 10-Shelf Shoe Organizer with Zipper from the same manufacturer. It looked like they were pretty much alike except for the zippered front, but there is another difference to be aware of. The shelves in the zipper front one are fully reinforced with some kind of board between the layers of canvas. This one only has a band of reinforcement at the front edge of each shelf. It feels like a piece of metal or plastic. Right now the canvas is nice and stiff, but I suspect that over time, the weight of the shoes in each section will stretch and loosen the canvas so it sags.
Also be aware that on both of these shoes organizers, the shoes sit directly on cream-colored canvas shelves. I don't anticipate a problem with the zippered one where I'm keeping out of season shoes--I'm putting them away clean or even in their boxes. But this organizer I'm going to be using for shoes I'm wearing every day, and I don't want to have to worry about cleaning off every speck of dampness, leaves or dirt before putting shoes away. So I've decided to put a piece of shelf liner in each section to protect the shelves, and maybe even a piece of cardboard in each section underneath the liner.
I'd definitely recommend both of these organizers because of the 8-inch width, but you definitely get more for your money with the zippered one.
