'No more piles of shoes at the front door' Dunelm shoppers praise space-saving shoe rack

The compact bamboo shoe rack has five shelves

by · BristolLive

If you are running out of cupboards and corners to store your shoes it might be worth investing in a handy shoe rack to save space. We have spotted a foldable one at Dunelm that works perfectly for small spaces and can be easily placed in most hallways. The Folding Shoe Rack is priced at £35.

Made entirely from bamboo, it has five shelves to store your shoes on. One shopper said they were able to fit 20 pairs of adult shoes on theirs. The space-saving design means you can easily fold it down when not in use. The rack comes part assembled so you'll need to fully build it once delivered.

The storage solution has lots of rave reviews, 88 customers have rated it five stars. A pleased customer said: "No more piles of shoes at the front door! This lovely shoe rack is neat and stylish and fits perfectly into a small space in the hall. Easy to assemble would highly recommend."

Another wrote: "My second buy of this product - using this one in my kitchen for storage! So easy to set up, perfect size and looks good too." A third commented: "Excellent quality and value. Easily set up and can be secured to a wall with attachments given. Sturdy enough to hold at least 20 pairs of adult shoes."

A fourth added: "Perfect size for my little corner. It is strong and looks good. No putting together, clever way to pull out to full-size, just use little Allen key to slightly tighten."

Not all customers were happy, with one writing a detailed one-star review reading: "I had to write a review because this was so bad it was actually funny. Initially, I spotted the large crack in one of the pieces right where it attaches to another part which instantly meant it wasn't fit for purposes.

"While examining it, I ended up with several splinters in my hands as the rack is covered with them. I then finally realise that the 2nd level was supposed to be attached but the screws are missing on sides so it's not even attached to the shelf! Customer service team were brilliant and arranged a refund but this product is very shoddy."

Another said it isn't strong, writing: "It needs an Allen key to assemble and is not very strong." If you'd rather have an ottoman storage solution this Debenhams Round Velvet Footstool is £40 and comes in three colours - beige, yellow and black. As well as being used to tidy away your things, it also doubles up as additional seating to any lounge, bedroom or study, whilst also serving a decorative piece. It has a layer of foam padding that covers the stool.

The slot lock design makes it easy to stack the shoe storage boxes together. The storage solutions allows you to store and display your best trainers.
