Using the Augusta Shoe Rack is super easy. Just place it in your entryway or any area where you need to store shoes. Put each pair of shoes neatly into one of the eight cubes. Remember, the decor and setting objects shown in pictures are not included. As for maintenance, simply wipe it with a clean, dry cloth regularly to keep its Espresso/Mahogany finish looking great. Since it's made from high - quality materials, it's durable, but avoid placing heavy objects on it that could damage the structure. You can also complement it with other items from the collection, which are sold separately, to enhance the look of your room.
