Using this shoe rack is a breeze. Simply place your shoes on the shelves one by one, starting from the bottom if you have taller boots. You can arrange them by type, color, or frequency of use. When it comes to maintenance, dust it regularly with a soft cloth to keep its vintage look. Avoid placing it in areas with high humidity as wood can be affected by moisture. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately to prevent staining. With proper care, this shoe rack will serve you well for years to come.
