SONGMICS 9 Tier Shoe Organizer With Cover

This shoe closet is perfect! Holds the most shoes and hardly takes up any space! Best buy in a long time!

Can’t go wrong with this brand. Easy to put together and sturdy enough to last for years. Great customer service too.

I was initially concerned with this product because variations of this same product would have a wide variety of good and terrible reviews, but this specific listing had the most consistent review quality and so, decided to bite.

Quality:
The box was incredibly light when it arrived. I had concerns that it wouldn’t be sturdy but after assembling it, the rods fit into the plastic elbow corners very snug and sure, if you attempt to bend or force it, the hollow rods will definitely succumb to the pressure. But assembled to together, it was surprisingly lightweight and sturdy enough that I wasn’t bothered. It’s not going to survive multiple moves unless you take care to disassemble it carefully, but it’ll be situated in one spot for a long while so I expect it’ll last.

Style:
The product also looked cheap in other photos which is why I got grey, as it seemed the safest choice, and it ended up looking fairly innocuous style wise so I’m not embarrassed by it bring in the living room by the entrance.

Shoes:
Most importantly, it can fit size 12 shoes. Yes, it can fit size 12. I’ve purchased shoe drawers from Ikea that close like slanted drawers, the ones you hand on the door and in your closet, but none of them could fit size 12 shoes. Imagine my surprise when they not only fit but they don’t even stick out.

Assembly:
Took me about 40 minutes but likely would have been 30 had I developed a rhythm sooner. Make sure that when connecting the plastic elbows that the holes at the center joint always face up. This is so you don’t have to disassemble it again if you place the rods in the wrong orientation. 1) Pre-assemble the medium-sized rods with the elbows first, then 2) add two of the long rods and then the sleeve with the waterproofing side facing up, and finally 3) attach to remaining medium-sized rods too what you just assembled to complete all the shelves. Stack them up as indicated by the directions and you’re done once you slide the cover over. Very easy and can be done with one person.

My wife has lots of shoes, and we needed something sturdy enough to hold them all. This shoe rack works nicely. It was easy to put together (in fact, they sent the wrong instructions with the first one we ordered, but I was quickly able to figure out how to assemble it without the instructions). Both boxes shipped to us (at separate times) contained all parts needed, and the whole unit seems well engineered. This is a low-cost solution, so don’t expect it to hold 100 sets of boots, as the metal rails (tubes) are relatively thin. I like that it also contains hardware to secure the top to the wall, so no worries about it falling over. Also, she likes that the shelves are full pieces of fabric (that is, no holes for the heels of high heel shoes to fall through and get stuck). Recommended product!

First off, please note that I purchased a second rack and added three tiers from it to the first rack, and those final photos are included in my review. So, the unit showing in my photos is three rows taller than what you will receive if you only order one. It is very nice that this is an option with this unit, because I dress up for work and therefore have a lot of shoes. But with three rows added, this fits all of mine and my boyfriend’s shoes, even our outdoor hiking/golf shoes that we used to keep in the garage. You could really create as many uncovered different racks as you want to for multiple rooms or closets, but the only issue would be the cover that comes with each rack. What I ended up doing was just putting one of the covers on top of the extra tall rack, which works great and it’s not even really obvious that it does not fit the whole rack based upon it being in between the wall and the washing machine. You can’t even really tell that the cover stops three rows before the floor. This way, I can unroll the front cover to dust cover my heels that are used less often, but still have access to my every day shoes without unzipping the cover all the way. I plan to put the extra tiers in another closet for future use.

The materials are pretty good quality – metal poles connected by sturdy plastic connectors with a canvas/fabric cover and shelves. I do not have any stability concerns even after adding three more tiers to the unit than what it is designed for and loading it with shoes. Obviously, a completely metal or wood rack would be more sturdy, but that would inherently be a lot more expensive. I think these materials are pretty good for the price, and have shown no signs of wear or breaking so far. I would not anticipate an issue with durability unless a kid was to crash into it or something. The individual tier shelves are fabric sheets stretched between the back and front support poles, which you can leave off of any row to create room for tall boots if needed (but I just lay mine flat on the top row). My only complaint is the fabric shelves can lead to a somewhat unstable surface for storing stiletto or other heels, as it is more like a tightly stretched hammock than a flat shelf, and they tend to fall over if they aren’t leaning on another pair, but that is obviously just aesthetics. Additionally, there is a little bit of a gap between where the fabric shelving ends and the connectors/side of the rack, so the heel of the shoes on the far left or right can fall into the gap and topple over sometimes. But, again, I really have this rack overloaded with heels, and have five pairs on almost every tier, which probably isn’t your average user. I have no issues at all with storing normal tennis shoes or flats.

In summary, this shoe storage rack has really changed the appearance of our house. Before, there were shoes in closets, bedrooms, garages, by all of the doors outside, and literally just spread everywhere, and now they are stored in one nice neat place in the laundry room by the garage door, which really looks fantastic and is very functional and convenient. I can’t believe I didn’t buy something like this years ago, and I would definitely buy this again (and literally already did).

Llegó antes de tiempo, es fácil de armar, las instrucciones son claras y es muy práctico
