Shoe storage cabinets with doors are usually easy to assemble, thanks to the included directions. Since manufacturers want to get good user reviews and repeat business, they try to make their products easy to assemble.
Some shoe storage cabinets with doors may require a screwdriver, but they rarely require hammering or sanding. They sometimes include small hex wrenches for use with the included bolts. Pay close attention to the instructions, as they may have different bolt or screw sizes for different parts of the cabinet.
When choosing a shoe storage cabinet, check the user reviews to see how easy assembly is. You can also see if the retailer includes a PDF of the instructions so you can judge for yourself.
For bedroom storage, consider a taller, full-size storage unit with drawers for shoes on the bottom and shelving higher up. This makes it convenient to access frequently worn casual wear from the drawers, and your sophisticated dress shoes can sit up on the shelves.
Most shoe manufacturers recommend storing your shoes inside their original box; however, you can also buy clear plastic containers to protect your shoes inside your closet.
