The Simple Houseware 3-tier rack is built for transient living situations like dorms or rentals where easy assembly is a priority. It uses a 12mm tubular steel chassis and polyester fabric tiers, resulting in a total weight of under 4 lbs. This low mass makes it exceptionally easy to reposition as your room layout changes. Specifications indicate the depth is kept under 12 inches, allowing it to fit into standard hallway clearances without obstructing foot traffic.
Build quality is focused on modularity, as the rod ends are designed to allow for vertical stacking with additional units. To help improve the long-term stability of the plastic joints, ensure that each rod is fully seated during assembly. The fabric shelves are a practical choice for keeping the unit lightweight, though users should be mindful that sharp heels can puncture the material. For the best results, placing heavier footwear on the bottom row helps create a more stable base.
The finish on the steel rods is designed to resist chipping, maintaining a clean look even with regular use. Because this unit is held together by friction, it is most reliable when left in a static position rather than being frequently dragged while fully loaded. It offers a straightforward storage solution for up to 12 pairs of standard shoes.
If you prefer a shelf that won't be susceptible to puncture from high heels, the Simple Houseware Metal Mesh version offers a more rigid surface.
