Tools and Hardware Reviews of Whitney Design 2131 18-Pair Revolving Shoe TreeCustomer Review: Style meets function: Perfect for tiny spaces and big feet! Summary: 5 Stars
Pleasantly surprised! I was a little skeptical about this item, as I have big feet (wmns size 10/11), and most standard shoe racks do not accommodate my shoes. Because the trees are easily vertically adjusted, you can fit any size shoe, from sneakers, high heels, sandals to thongs/flip flops (see photos I added).
Assembly was very quick and easy - very detailed instructions that took no tools and approx 4 minutes to assemble. The base is sturdy, so little chance of tipping.
The unit (I bought 2) was taller and wider than expected, and does not fit into the space I had prepared side by side once the shoes are actually stacked. The closet in my photo measures 24Wx20D. With the shoes added to the item the actual width is approx. 15 inches, and you need at least an inch for twirling purposes. So add about 4 inches (16 inch total) to the width if buying to fit into a specific space. If using 2 units to go side by side you'll need a minimum 32 inch clearance.
I'd definitely recc this item, as it has freed up so much valuable floor space! Now all my shoes are neatly stored out of sight in a small closet. If you are looking for a way to store and display your shoes, without having to rummage and dig for them - this unit offers great space saving and organization.
Amazon also has it for the lowest price so far...
PS- IF this item breaks down or stops functioning well, I promise to update this review.
UPDATE: 5/4/08 - Happy to report no problems, issues or defects to date...I'm back to order another one, this time the 24pr as a gift, so have taken the time to add a little update to my original review of the shorter 18pr item.
At the time of my 2005 purchase Amazon price was $19.99, the lowest price elsewhere was $39.99(!)+. Also, there was no 24pr style available. Not to mention the original product photo just showed the item and NO shoes lol! I have no idea what Amazon did with the photos I uploaded either? Will post again if I can, but figure I have since deleted them.
The only tweak/change I have to the racks is: it has become a great "clutch/strapless" purse handbag holder. I store my clutches, in the space between the shoes and middle rod, perfectly. Also, due to a bedroom that easily collects dust (1 rack stays in closet, 1 rack stays at side of bed, rotating each rack per season), I've had to add a clear dustcover (just recycle the bag included with your drycleaning or cut to size a clear garbage bag) to the unit as I have a lot of suedes.
3 years later, and happy to report I still stand by my original review!
If this review helped you please vote for it...
Thank you to all who have voted in the past. I'm glad to see others enjoying this great lil' space saver as much as I am.
