Adjustable Shoe Rack

This expandable shoe rack is terrific. It feels well made, was easy to assemble (less than five minutes for this DIY-challenged individual—no instructions needed), and expands and contracts effortlessly. It’s a good value for the price.So why 4 stars instead of 5? Because one of the product photos shows the rack holding four pairs of shoes in the expanded position. As shown in my photos, the rack fits three pairs plus a single shoe—not quite the four pairs depicted. Granted, I wear a men’s 10½ wide, but even with standard-width shoes, fitting four pairs is wishful thinking.Overall, it’s a very good product—just don’t be misled by the picture. I now wish I’d opted for the 3-tier version instead of the 2-tier.

TLDR: Overall I give two thumbs up for this product. It’s easy to assemble and use. My use case for it is a bit different than the original purpose, but they are wonderfully built. I had no problems assembling the racks and ended up buying 3 of the 4 tier racks. I highly recommend this product. They’re a good value for my use case.My meat and potatoes:While these are suppose to be shoe racks, I found that the 4 tier holds two rows of large spools (1kg) of filament well. I didn’t want to store all of my filament in bulky totes so I figured these would be a good solution to not only display my filament, but also utilize the space under my desk.I tested the other sizes as well, and found the 4 tier to be the best. The 2 tier is also good, but I wanted to utilize as much space under my desk as I could. The 3 tier was not good. The lowest part of it was not far enough off the ground to support the spools. So my spools were resting on the ground rather than the rack. So I recommend the 4 tier if you plan on using them for the same use case as me.I only assembled 1/2 of the 4 tier for my large spools (1kg spools), skipping two rows of rods. So essentially this pattern:==TOP OF RACK==< Skip >RODS< Skip >RODS==BOTTOM OF RACK==This way I got the most clearance for pulling filament out, and utilize the full height under my desk. The desk is 30 inches tall. So that gives me 3 inches of clearance according to the dimensions. That makes it easy enough to pull them out without too much hassle.I also modified one of the 4 tier racks for smaller spools of filament (the 250 g kind). I reused the spare parts from the other racks (I bought 3 of the 4 tier racks). I simply 3D printed a tiny bracket to space the second rod and keep it in place that sits on top of the bracket (see my photos). The topmost rods had to be modified slightly so it was under the rack instead of on top due to clearance issues. This mod wasn’t too hard to do. I’m a new user to Autodesk Fusion and it took me maybe an hour to get everything right. If you decide to do this mod too, make your holes 6.1mm. I did 6mm and had to screw in the screws to the bracket as well, which was a bit tedious work.As far as wishes for these, I wish they had wheels on them, or a second hole in the frame so you could space the rods closer together. For my use case it would make the smaller filament easier to place on the rack, but I could also see it being useful for baby shoes. I also wish you could lock the rods on the shoe rack with something like a set screw. That way they don’t expand as you’re trying to move them, and don’t end up being as wiggly when you have a bit more of a load on them. Again, out of normal use case, so I can’t complain that much.Overall, they preform perfectly for my needs. These are definitely well built racks, so even if my use case was shoes, I would see no problem with sturdiness.

The expandable shoe organizer worked perfectly for me. Closet floor was deemed a disaster area by FEMA so I got this for an organization solution. I would say it is on the border of fitting four pairs across depending on shoe style/size. I wear a mens 7 and it was maybe a centimeter too short to lay perfectly flat. My work-around was to turn one pair the opposite way and it fit everything flat. I don't mind, but if you have that kind of brain that needs perfect symmetry, it might give you a small twitch. It fit under my garment bag, which is a plus. It is currently holding one pair of boots, two hightops, nine pairs of sneakers, and two pairs of slippers for a total of 14 pairs.

Amazing product. If I had more room I’ll buy two more. This product fits and holds lots of shoes.Easy to assemble, great quality item!

Very easy to set up. Took me about 5-7 minutes to do so. Very sturdy also and expandable.
