I have a lot of shoes so not reasonable to have individual box for each pair. It is also long which works well for me as I am 64" and have long hands. I currently have two towels hanging and four rags on the top and it seems to be holding well. I find myself trash talking out loud like an action hero while playing. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Love the print on them and the color combo. Additionally, I use this same product for my vitamins and it works great! At first the audio was so clear and all around great. These have DEFINITELY helped! You must pre-drill the holes the bolts do not break, I used a 6 mm drill bit and bolt when in easily.
