6-Tier Bamboo Shoe Rack

A shoe rack works or fails on one number, and here that number is the depth. These shelves are 6.42 inches deep. That is not enough to park a shoe toe-first, and it is not meant to be. Shoes go on side-on, turned along the shelf, which is how the maker photographs it: an adult shoe is roughly four inches across, so it sits with room to spare and you see the whole profile instead of a row of toes. Once you know that, the rest follows easily. Six tiers of solid bamboo, 31.49 inches wide and 30.71 inches tall, with 6.14 inches between shelves. It runs along a wall and gives back almost all of the floor, because half a foot of depth is all it asks for. The shelves are solid boards with a rounded front edge rather than slats, so nothing drops through to the pair below. The side panels are cut in the same wave as the rest of this range, which is the one piece of decoration on an otherwise plain frame. The bamboo is left in its natural honey tone, so grain and colour vary from rack to rack. It arrives flat and needs assembling, and it stands on the floor with no wall fixing. Free US shipping.
