Customer Reviews for Prepac 72.5 in. H x 23.5 in. W x 13 in. D 36 Pair White Shoe Storage Cabinet

I’m so in love with my shoes organizer! It makes my room look so pretty ?

I love the look of this shoe cabinet but its smaller than i thought so it fits my high heels that are under 4 inches and my sandals, and my kids' shoes but the slots aren't wide enough to fit running shoes, nothing my husband wears or boots. Luckily my heel collection was big enough to fill it lol. But if you're buying it to store running shoes or boots, its not going to work for adukt shoes. Also, the wood peices don't sit flush so there are some gaps in it that make it look cheaply built and it probably shouldn't cost as much as it does.

So happy with this purchase!! Easy to put together and now my shoes are organized!!

I used this in an unconventional way, but it worked out great. I assembled it inside of a closet that was only 2 inches deeper and 1/2 inch wider than the dimensions of the unit. It took me about a week to solve the puzzle of assembling all the shelves at a steep angle and then dropping them into place at the same time, but it came together well. Some pocket screws here and there and some glued-on trim pieces and it looks complete and purpose-built for the closet.

The perfect storage for all kinds of shoes. I put it together by myself in an hour. I chose to leave out a couple shelves to make several larger cubbies. Nice looking & exactly what I wanted.

My shoe storage cabinet arrived a day early, and my husband was eager to assemble it. He had absolutely no problem at all! It’s perfectly perfect! If I had room in my closet, I’d order another one. You will not be disappointed! I wear a 7 1/2 shoe, and I could easily double up pairs in a cubby with no problem.

Product does look good but does not fit adult person shoes in them. In the pictures shown by home depot there is several shoe pairs on the racks, I can barely fit one shoe per hole and they have to go in sideways to fit.

I assembled this unit yesterday. It was straightforward. Although the materials are of modest quality/strength, the fit of all pieces is precise, and they come together fairly easily and securely. The instructions leave out a few details here and there, but if you read through all the instructions beforehand to ensure you know how all the pieces come together, and how the end product should look, there are no problems. The trickiest part is installing the horizontal dividers. After reading other reviews, I figured out an easy way for 1 person to do all the assembly, including the dividers. Here are the steps (see pictures attached). (1) After the frame is fully assembled, turn it over gently so that the front of the unit is facing the floor (I assembled it on an old blanket, to avoid any scratching of surfaces). (2) Lean a vertical divider up against the OUTSIDE of the frame, so that the bottom edge of the divider aligns with the bottom inside floor of the cabinet (i.e. the divider aligns with where it will sit inside the cabinet later in the process). (3) Position all the horizontal dividers INSIDE the cabinet, each aligned with a slot in the vertical divider (which is sitting OUTSIDE the cabinet), and put a small piece of masking tape on each side of each divider to hold them lightly in place. (4) Take the vertical divider and position it over top of the horizontal dividers, ensuring that the slots in the vertical/horizontal dividers all line up, and then gently press down/jostle the vertical divider so that it settles down a few inches over top of the horizontal dividers. Check each horizontal divider to ensure that it lines up with the slot in the vertical divider, and then gently press down uniformly along the length of the horizontal divider until it is fully seated inside the cabinet. You should not have to force it to make the vertical divider settle into place, but you will have to press a bit firmly to slide it in. If you feel firm resistance at any point, check the horizontal dividers to identify which one is preventing the vertical divider from sliding down, and adjust accordingly. (5) Repeat step 4 for the other vertical divider. (6) Attach the back panel as per the instructions. This approach only needs 1 person for all the assembly, while minimizing lifting/turning of the cabinet, and also avoids having to pre-assemble all the vertical/horizontal dividers outside the cabinet and then turn the assembled grid over and insert it into the cabinet (which is very awkward).

Just wish it was white but white is so popular and out of stock. Love the item but remember that size does count. I wear a size 7 1/2 shoe and my shoes fit perfectly and not sure if a show size to much bigger will fit. I was also able to use spaces for purses and small bags and umbrellas so this is definitely a great purchase for my already small space. Fits into my closest like a glove without compromising space for my clothing.

It was easy to assemble and looks great once it is up. Very usefull and worked great for my needs.

Organizes shoes well. Entranceway is no longer cluttered and messy. Good quality, worth the purchase price. Use a damp cloth to remove any dust from packaging BEFORE beginning assembly. *** Item is a little awkward to assemble. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars because of the issue in assembling the cabinet that I clarified below. Although it's longer than initially intended, READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING: Go to PAGE 8/DIAGRAM 9. You are being directed to assemble the frame to completion except for the back: Do so and move to PAGE 9/DIAGRAM 10. You are being directed to assemble the vertical and horizontal dividers - PAUSE: I have assembled a wide variety of furniture and machine items in my different occupations and home life and so I’ve learned to go through ALL of the directions provided before starting any assembly process, which I did before I started assembling this cabinet, so, BEFORE continuing to assemble the item go to PAGE 10/DIAGRAM 11 and recognize the following: you are being directed to turn over the assembled vertical and horizontal dividers (without mention of turning over the outer frame also) and then lift and place them into the frame utilizing two people. At first glance this sounds feasible - but it’s quite awkward since the pieces want to fall apart. So what I did is the following: Make sure anything that could scratch the cabinet is removed from the floor and box. Provide yourself enough space to roll cabinet over onto its side and then down onto its front. (6 to 8 feet) Put the flattened shipping box on the floor, outside facing down; put some towels on the box to guard against any damage to the front of the cabinet. Assemble the vertical and horizontal dividers as shown in the instructions ON TOP OF THE TOWELS ON THE CARDBOARD. Have a second person help you lift the frame up and turn it over and slip it gently and slowly down around the dividers. It’s snug so it has to be lowered level and slowly. Lower it while holding the sides (one person close to the top; one person close to the bottom). To roll over BOTH people need to lift one side of the cabinet from UNDER the cardboard, holding the other side to help roll it over without the cabinet slipping off the cardboard - or vice versa - until it is on its side, then continue to roll onto its front with or without the cardboard. Nail on the back as directed using ALL of the nails and then utilizing the second person lift the cabinet and stand it up to insure that there is no damage done to the item during this step and then either with their help or by using a two wheeler on one side (see photo), move it close to where you want to place it. If you have a wall stud that is in the right place to attach AS DESCRIBED in the instructions, then do so if you wish. I prefer to do it my way (which I have done with many cabinets, TV stans, etc..) because it allows me the ability to move the cabinet and clean around and under it, or, move it to another spot to utilize it there without having to cut and replace the cable tie or loosen and remove and move the wall mount screw, etc.. I have stabilized my cabinet as follows (also, see photos provided): I have used a 1.5” wide x .25" thick x 22" long piece of baseboard to put under the front to push the top against the wall and the bottom against the baseboard so that the item is leaning backwards just enough to make the item more sturdy/steady so that the item doesn't lean or fall forwards. (be careful not to damage the item while doing so - use a hammer to gently place "spacer" in the correct position - you'll need to have the bottom out from the wall a few inches -4" to 6"- to start and then take the time to perform the tedious job of pushing the bottom backwards while hammering the "spacer" back (left side then the right side and back and forth like that moving only a bit at a time from the front - not the outside of the cabinet) until it is snug MAKING SURE that you don't use the two front side trim pieces for this - ONLY use the two side pieces and the front - see pictures provided) ONLY use the hammer on the spacer, NOT the cabinet. Spacer may bow the slightest amount in the middle during placement which is one reason to make sure that the spacer is a little bit wider than the cabinet. This cabinet is well worth the price, time and effort of assembly and placement.

I've had the shoe rack for a month. It was easy to assemble. It works well for my husband's size 12 shoes and for storing baseball hats. It definitely met my expectations.

Assembly was quite easy until the end when you have to drop all the dividers into the back of the cabinet. Since they all loosely fit together they slide out as you carry it over the back of the cabinet that is laying face down. Found it easier to slide it in with the cabinet standing up. Overall build quality was good. The deal breaker was it does fit shoes...Each cubby is only 5 and 1/8 inches tall. My wife can't even get her heels in that are only like 2 inches high. It's also not very wide could not fit a pair of Sperry's in the same cubby together. Build quality might be good but design is horrible. Would of been a lot more happy with less cubbies that actually fit shoes. Returning today. Pics are attached.

Good quality for the price. Solved a space problem.

This item wasn’t difficult to assemble, but it can be tedious and you may need help lifting the cubbie holes into the frame. Do that part w/ another person to minimize any damage. I bought the dark Espresso and it was beautiful. Make sure you message you space bc this item is tall. I was able to fit flats, heels (some may have to be placed sideways in the cubbie hole) and short booties! Im happy w/ my Purchase.

Very nice unit. My husband put it together in less than 1/2 hour.

The front-facing portions of each square are not painted white on ours, so the wood is exposed. It’s a light color but still makes it look cheaper and will probably chip more easily. Unfortunately my husband put it all together already so it doesn’t seem worth taking apart again to return :(

Pros - exactly what we needed for shoes in our hallway. Fit the space perfectly and with 2 adults and 3 kids, it was an easy way to store everything. Cons - boots / any higher heals then 2 in will not fit the slots. Assembly was a pain in the neck - easy to put together the frame...until you get to installing the shelves and that was a nightmare. This is mostly particleboard, and definitely needs to be up against a wall because it is light weight and it wouldn't take much to push it over.

Easy to assemble, sturdy, fits just right@

Easy assembly and well made. Makes the closet look a custom design. Perfect for anyone looking to organize that closet and it holds more than than 36 pairs

This space-saving cabinet is worth the money. It instantly cleaned up our family-of-four mud room closet where we keep most of our shoes. The cabinet fits perfectly in our closet with plenty of shoe rack space. It is built well enough that it would look nice as a stand alone piece outside of a closet as well. Someone posted that they can only fit one shoe per space. That's not entirely true. I wear women's size 8 and most all my shoes fit as pairs as long as I slide them in as if they were in a shoebox. Super high heels, snow boots, and large men's shoes might need two slots. This is one of those purchases you never thought would have a such a huge impact, but it's so cool to find your shoes so easily and not see a mess just before you leave the house.

I love it!! It was super easy to out together. Only thing will need to get another one because I have so many shoes :)

These went together very easily. I have a size 7.5 and my shoes fit fine. Wider shoes like tennis shoes cannot sit next to each other you must turn one on it's side. I love my shoe cabinets.

Easy to assemble, sturdy and a good value. Cubbies are a little small but we were able to get adult shoes (Women's 10 and men's 9) in on their side sole to sole. We also left a couple of the dividers out of the lower shelves to allow for boots. There are cut outs visible where the shelves are supposed to go which we hope to cover with white tape. We needed to maximize the space in our small walk-in closet and this did the trick. Overall, we are happy with the product.

This item does NOT fit shoes. It’s more of an old fashioned office mail box. It arrived after 6 weekend broken. Most suppliers would send a replacement, however the manufacturer sent two replacement panels to replace and broken ones they sent. It took another 7 days to arrive from BC to Ontario. The material are cheap. Unfortunately I don’t have any nice comments about this product. Definitely not worth the money’.

Looks exactly like the picture. Not too difficult to assemble - just a bit bulky...just takes 2 people to hold sides steady when putting on the top and bottom pieces. I bought it to store / organize hats and it worked out better than I thought. The cubicles are a bit small for larger shoes but it works ok.

Perfect solution for the available space. Bright white color matches my mud room cabinet colors. Assembly is easy if you follow instructions. Be careful when hammering in plastic dowels. Do not hammer too hard as this can cause the dowel to break through the particle board base, sides and top. Materials is particle board with melamine finish. Inner shelves are made of 1/4' thick plywood painted glossy white. I wish this company would offer a wider shoe cabinet with each pocket 3" wider which would make the whole cabinet 9" wider at 32-3/4". As is , all my 10-1/2, Medium width shoes cannot be inserted sitting flat side by side. It does work to insert one shoe flat and the other one on its side, as shown in the picture attached. If a wider cabinet with wider pockets was offered, I would definitely replace this cabinet with the wider one.

I love all these little cubbies. Perfect size for shoes, and the dust dirt and pebbles are contained. It has a small footprint but holds a lot. So much better than a rack.

I bought two units: - Each came with a different dent in the front. - Finish level is not up to the price paid - Site picture does not reflect the actual item. While the external frame is nice, the separators finish level is 1-2 stars.
