How long have you been collecting?

Around 5 years or so now.

Ah. I've probably been collecting for around that time. I accumulated most of it from my dad's coworkers' travels, and some I bought on my own.

Well, the main problem is figuring out the order in which the shelves and dividers go, as well as actually trying to put them together once I do so (the individual pieces are too heavy to steady with one hand, and thus, it requires two people to assemble).

I could never fathom why people would pay 200 Dollars for shoes that they think look pretty. The most I would ever pay for shoes would be about half that, and only if they were hiking boots or climbing shoes.
