Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Storage Solutions 0743PFR4 15 Pair Customizable Shoe Cubby, Frost
Customer Review: Good if it has all the parts!
Summary: 3 Stars
My first one of these arrived missing a couple panels and one of the plastic "hubs" so it was a 14-shoe holder. It's kind of a nuisance to assemble - the hubs are of the "press to fit" variety. I do really like that each cubby can hold a pair of men's 11 shoes. This has made my bedroom a much less hazardous place.Customer Review: Picture is deceiving - DO NOT Buy
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product a month ago and left it half way while assembling it. The actual product has very small compartments than it looks like in Picture. I can hardly fit small shoes in it. totally useless for men or bigger size shoes.
the picture is deceiving. I would suggest, DO NOT buy this one and save your money for something better.
Customer Review: Works great, love it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This cube system works great! For those still clinging to doubt from the negative reviews - don't heed them at all! My shoes are all in the 7 to 7-1/2 size range and fit into the cubbies fine. Please note that the shoes do not fit side-by-side, as some unhappy people expected. For tennis shoes and other larger sorts, they must be placed in heel-to-toe. The cubbies are also deep enough that high heels can be stored upright, placed diagonally with one toward the back of the cubby and the other in easy view at the front (again, not side-by-side, but at least not left out on the floor). Taller shoes, like hiking boots and Uggs, will not fit into the cubbies, but are perfectly at home on the top of the storage unit. Assembly takes a little bit of time, but it uses the same connectors as the wire snap together storage cubes sold at Target. Just work on it during the commercials of your favorite TV show and it will be finished in no time. Good luck - happy storage!Customer Review: ok

The product is not easy to put together, it falls apart, and is not big enough for my shoes.Customer Review: Good idea...not great execution
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved that this was modular. I had an odd space and wanted to have a shoe cubby there, so this seemed to fit the bill. What it consists of is:
1. rectangular wire frames with frosted plastic folded over and heat pressed
2. same plastic/wire frames in squares (these form the backs of the cubbies)
3. plastic discs that attach the frames together
So it is really a sort of building set! The metal frames were nice, the plastic on them was just okay. I really did not like the discs, especially using them for the back. The discs have slots on the sides of to hold the square pieces AND a plus sign shape to hold the cross pieces. The plastic was too thin, brittle, and too fragile to snap the frames in. I cracked the second one I used (there were no extra discs included for breakage...plus certain configurations would need a few more.) The discs also didn't seem to have a channel inside so there was no real way to know if they were pushed in far enough or straight enough or not. I ended up using a small hammer to tap them on (CAREFULLY...you can break them with your fingers!) or the item was out of square and wobbly. It did gain overall strength as you added more cubbies, but still...not strong. Plus a few of the frames where the stiff plastic was heat pressed around the frame was not sealed correctly and it was just held by the fold.(It is kind of like the material used for those flexible cutting boards.)
It was a long and tedious job to get all those pieces together in any satisfactory, sturdy way. I do like putting things together and it almost looked fun when I started, but they didn't "snap" or really fit together very well. I do use it, and it is wonderful to have a lightweight item that can be modified or to fit in unusual spots, but I don't want to do it again. If the discs were better, I would buy another set in a minute.
