You couldn’t swing a proverbial cat in our entryway, which is just a few feet wide and about eight feet long.
That’s why I have been using sturdy and stackable Joseph Joseph shoe organizers with pull-out trays elsewhere in my home for the last eight months and I love them.
It’s a good fix for small entryways and has been a helpful shoe storage idea in our compact home.
I love these stackable Joseph Joseph shoe storage boxes
Each one took me a couple of minutes to put together and they have been extremely sturdy. No wobbles here, despite my having a tower of six. The six-pack works out cheaper per unit. I can fit two pairs of shoes, or one pair of high-top sneakers, in each.
I personally keep my Joseph Joseph shoe box stack in the corner of our kitchen diner in an awkward gap that’s no good for much else. It’s not been a hardship to store extra shoes there. We grab the pair we want and put them on in the usual spot. On our return home, we take them off in our entryway, as we're a shoes-off household, and walk them to their spot to put away.
For a while, we stored our shoes under the stairs instead. You can also use stackable boxes in your bedroom, as storage under your bed, or just about any space you need.
Shoppers love them too, rating them five stars. Verified Amazon purchase Rashda said, ‘Made with great quality, really good function. 10 times better [than] the cheap one.’
I couldn’t agree more, as I have previously wasted money on cheap shoe storage ideas that didn’t last the test of time or do what was promised.
