Tools and Hardware Reviews of Whitney Design 2131 18-Pair Revolving Shoe Tree
Customer Review: Great product...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried a few shoe storage solutions...a couple different types of racks & an over-the-door organizer. Either the racks fell apart when I moved them or the shoes slipped off when someone bumped the rack. The over-the-door organizer didn't hold many pairs & it wasn't handy enough for me to use. I searched around and discovered the Whitney Design 2131 18-Pair Revolving Shoe Tree. I thought the price was high, so I put it in my cart for a few weeks until it came down.
I put it together myself...if I can do it, most anyone can do it. It took me a few tries to screw the middle poles together. It kept going together crooked...so I'd unscrew it, line the poles up and start over. It took me 3 or 4 times before I finally got it right. I thought the threads were crooked...nope, it was me. That was the hardest part. Everything else went smoothly.
This shoe tree is heavy which is a good thing. The weighted base prevents it from falling over. Each basket/shelf/tier revolves and is adjustable, so before you fasten them too tightly, make sure you can get your shoes off and onto the racks easily. I put the big, bulky shoes on the bottom rack. My daughter wears sz 9 1/2 med. width. Her tennis shoes touch each other, but there's room to get 18 pairs of shoes onto this shoe tree. It's about 15" wide with the shoes on it, of course, it's 38" high.
Great product! I'm thinking of buying another.
Customer Review: My closet clutter is at an end!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my New Year's Resolutions was to declutter and organize my home. I started fulfilling that resolution by cleaning out my closet, but no matter how much progress I made it still looked messy due to my many pairs of shoes. (My husband has shoes, too, and his take up even more room.)
I saw this and was skeptical, given the amazing price, but I ordered it anyway. Oh, I am SO glad that I did! It took me less than 5 minutes to assemble it, and even then I could tell by the weight that this was not some flimsy product. Ten minutes later, my closet floor was shoe free!
As a prior reviewer noted, this holds sandals as well as regular shoes. My husband has size 13E shoes, and since the racks are adjustable, his shoes fit perfectly.
I bought two of these, so I actually had a couple of spare spaces. Know what I'm storing there? *Handbags*! Just slip the handles over where the shoes go and this turns into an accessory organizer, too!
Can't recommend it highly enough. You'll be glad you bought it.
Customer Review: Just the space-saver I was looking for!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was just looking for a "narrow" shoe rack, as I have my shoes in front of a drawer and had only around 24 inches (width) to work with. This rack is evertyhing I was looking for! I have all shoes and flip flops/sandals on this rack, with the largest being a pair of heavy ankle hiking boots. This thing is in NO danger of teetering over and feels nice and solid. The chrome finish makes it look not-so-cheap, but the price I paid on Amazon tells my wallet otherwise. I'm not a total shoe-horse, but I do end up with a lot, and my bedroom floor looks so much neater now. The only thing I don't like (and this is a pretty small, nit-picky thing) is that the soles face out, but eh...I think I can deal with that in exchange for not tripping over shoes every time I go near that part of my bedroom and keeping that area of the floor clean.Customer Review: More stable than taller version
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a taller version (one or two more tiers) of this shoe tree, and it was prone to falling over. Repeated tipping compromised the structure of shoe tree, increasing the instability. This shoe tree does not have that problem. It's stable and useful.
As has probably been noted, this shoe tree does not easily hold 18 pairs of shoes. If I skip a pair per tier, there's enough room for my men's shoes to hang. If I put the top basket as high as I can, and the bottom basked as low as the shoes allow, it is a tight fit for my size 10.5 & 11 shoes to clear each other on the different levels. It's not unmanageable, but not perfect for big men's shoes either. [I knew that when I replaced my taller one, so it was not a deterrent for me.]
Customer Review: Shoe Clutter Be Gone!
Summary: 5 Stars
I must say this lil shoe tree is an excellent idea, it's rather sturdy and aesthetically pleasing. I no longer have to dig through piles of shoes in the shoe closet, now with just a spin of the tree all my shoes are readily available. Mind you we have 6 people sharing the same lil bitty shoe closet in the hall, I've put two of these in there (THATS 36 Pairs) and it's nice to be able to get your shoes out with ease and your shoes don't get all scuffed up like they do when they reside under mounds of footwear. I'm impressed and recommend them to everyone. Amazon.com has the best deals on these too, you could easily find them elsewhere for $40+. Thanks!
