Tools and Hardware Reviews of Whitmor 8579-1975 3 Tier Expandable Faux Leather Shoe Rack

Customer Review: Great For Men's Shoes
Summary: 4 Stars

This rack is expandable which is why I bought it. It also sits low to
the floor. It has tacky white stitching that I did not like so I used
a majic marker to dye it. Now it looks great. Shoes rest on the metal
rods so it will not be good for small shoes or women's shoes, especially
high heels. It measures approx. 18" high. I have mine set for 4 pair
on a row so it is still only 25" wide. Overall it is perfect for what I
wanted. I thought the price was OK and would have paid a little more
because organization was more important to me than price. Hope this helps!

Customer Review: Not great for women's shoes
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought this shoe rack because it's expandable and that's what I needed. I'm not incredibly impressed with the overall design, but it was easy and quick to put together. My biggest problem with it is that it doesn't do a good job supporting my shoes since it just provides two steel pipes to put the shoes, which doesn't work with high heels. On top of that, I have a fairly small shoe size and even some of the wedged shoes don't stay on it because the pipes are too far apart and my shoes fall right through. I would say it's best suited for men's shoes, which are all flat and big in length.

Customer Review: It's too big for size 7 [US] womens' shoes.
Summary: 1 Stars

I think the only people who would give this thing a high rating must work for the manufacturer.

The problem with this rack is the bar design instead of using real shelves. I wear a size 7 (US) in women. Most of my shoes are too small to stay on the bars (heels AND sandals), and will just fall right in between them onto the bottom level.

I think if you wear a 9 in womens' or whatever that equals in mens' or higher, you might get better use out of this. I have to buy a whole new rack now, and got screwed on this one.


Customer Review: Not for smaller shoes
Summary: 2 Stars

I purchased this product to better organize my closet space. I wear a size 7 shoe which I feel is pretty average size. Unfortunately most of my dress shoes slip through the bars and I have to put all of those shoes on the bottom rack. This is quite the opposite of what I would have hoped for. Considering this, I do regret the purchase. Otherwise, if you have a lot of tennis shoes and other casual shoes it may work just fine.

Customer Review: Great Value
Summary: 5 Stars

I usually don't write reviews although I always read them before buying a product but what a great purchase. Can't get any better than this for the money. Faux leather but looks very real, has nice stiching as well. Quality of the product seems high, arrived without any dings or scratches anywhere and is very simple to assemble... requires no tools and took less than 5 minutes to put together.
