Question: How many inches does each shelf clear vertically?
Document: Product easily assembled (even with very simplified graphic only instructions). Looks good and works well. I concur with others commenting on shallow height for shoes. Depending on cost requirements, entire unit could be raised 1-2 inches to allow for more vertical clearance on each shelf: clear heights at front face on my unit are 4 3/4&#34;
looks great and is sturdy enough, but the height for each shelf is not so great. i dont own any boots, but most of my shoes rub against the top shelf or bench when i put them in, and some shoes (still not boots) have to be squished in... they couldve just made the pillars a few inches longer to be reasonable height. anyway, looks great and is good to sit on for when putting your shoes on. also easy to build.
I wear a ladies size 9 and my low top sneakers all fit perfectly fine. So do our 11 year old's Jordans. My toddler's rubber boots are too tall so we just put them on top of the bench. it looks like adult high-top basketball shoes could fit on the top shelf. You'd just have to turn them sideways when sticking them in, but there would be enough room to stand them up properly once they clear the lip of the bench seat.
Pros:Very easy to assembleLooks very nice and not cheap.Can fit many shoes.Cons:The shoes have to be small, like sandals, dress shoes, etc. Sneakers or boots don't fit too well.
This is a great piece of furniture for the front doorway. The bench is both attractive and well-built, probably a better piece than found at many brand-name stores. It is sturdy enough to seat either me or my husband when changing shoes.
The solid wood shoe bench was just what we were looking for. The only complaint I have is that there needed to be about two inches more space between the shelves to put shoes on. The fit is too tight to get some shoes in and out of the shelves easily.
The aesthetics are ok but not a prize. The height of the shoe storage is not high enough to accommodate either my running shoes or low boots. This could be accomplished by just raising the height a couple of inches.
The product is very good, fit in my space very well and very convenient.The bad is about the pricing method, I can fully understand that you guys give as much as you can to lure any possible customer, but the same product, same photo with so many different prices......, my God, even today I still do not know how much it should be, I spent over %50 for it. Hope not too more for that!! !
The shoe bench arrived quicker than expected. Had it assembled in ten minutes and placed in my walk-in closet, what a difference. The height is perfect for sitting on while putting on shoes and the shelves are wonderful for our slippers, sandals and tennis shoes. The shelves are a bit close together, just under five inches, but was perfect fpr what I needed it to be. The finish of the wood is very nice, will blend with just about anything.Crystal of Brandywine
So no, you can't fit stillettos or giant boots in there. That's the price you pay for having three levels of storage under a bench. The bench easily fits all of my flats and tennis shoes, as well as my husband's sneakers. Our hiking boots and my heels are stored elsewhere. There's a little less than 5 inches of clearance on each level, if that helps.Overall, highly recommended, especially given the price.
Answer: From the floor to the bottom of the bottom shelf it is 5" (on hard wood floor). The opening from the bottom shelf to the top shelf and the top shelf to the seat is 4 3/4". Once inside the top shelf opening, there is an extra 1" up to the bottom of the seat.
