After 6 years, it's excellent wall mounted with minor modification (and fixes)
I bought this 6 years ago, and it's held up admirably well. It's still going strong. I think this is a much better product wall mounted. Rather than whip this around every time you open and close a door, if you're a bit handy, keep it secured safely to a wall. I imagine it's less prone to breaking, and in my opinion is more aesthetically pleasing. To wall mount what I did was straighten the metal brackets (probably with a couple locking wrenches, e.g. vice grips). Next I drilled two holes in each bracket (see pics). I wanted this flush against the wall, but just above the base moulding (you might opt to go higher). Attach your drilled brackets to the shoe rack and rest the (empty) rack on the moulding. With a pencil mark where the holes are on your wall. Now add wall anchors there. Attach your brackets. The shoe rack can now slide onto the mounted brackets. The one minor negative is that this is a plastic product which can break, particularly the shelf joints if it's placed under heavy load (e.g. you pull out your shoes very quickly and they catch on one shelf). If you do snap one of these joints, you can repair this yourself. Find a bolt whose shank is a similar thickness as the broken axis of the joint. Then secure the shelf to the rack, where it had been with tape. Drill through both pieces, centered through the old joint axis with a bit that matches the bolt shank (slightly smaller than threads). Screw the bolt in. This will both reattach the shelf as well as restore the joint's rotating ability. (See photo)
