It looks like the lower shelf is too low to put shoes on the floor below it. Other than Mathew Grob, has anyone done this? or is this wasted space?

Yes you can put shoes on the floor, but I would not buy this product again. Not made very well. When putting this together the wood split and it wobbles from left to right. Look for something that uses a better quality of wood.

The space under the shelves is small. My crocs fit under there and my flip flops. The space is 4 1/4". I love this shoe rack! I have had no problems with this at all.

Don't buy this - it's a piece of crap and breaks when you put the screws in.

I've put my slides under the bottom shelf because the slides aren't high. You could put slippers or flip flops there too.

I have put shoes below the lower shelf. It works well for shoes that aren't very high up, like a sandal or flip flop, but I have got my tennis shoes under it. My fiance is even able to put his dress shoes for work below the lower shelf.

Good morning, The second shelf is a part that can be lifted up to store other items below the top shelf. Does that make sense?The boot mat will fit if you do not have the second shelf.Thank you,Steve

This could be a cool idea. It's certainly solid enough for our shoes on the floor, but I would worry if you tried to use just 2 brackets and short little screws. I think you would be successful with several small L-shaped brackets for mounting. Because it's made of particle board you will need to use longer, small diameter screws - and pre-drill so the wood doesn't split. I would also rely on more than 2 brackets to distribute any weight/pressure on the boards - perhaps 2 on each side, top and bottom, and 1 on each shelf to support the middle. Good luck!

yes. but the space is very limited. i only put 3-4 shoes inside. Nice outlook

There is a lower shelf about 4 inches from the floor. It's made up of 7 slats. It's not a solid shelf. I have a plant balanced on the middle slats.Hope this helps and I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

I don't think shoes would really fit.. Unless they were just flip flops or sandals. I got baskets to place on the bottom shelf for storage, you could do something like that to put your shoes in.

The top section of legs did not land quite right without the shelf in place to spread them out. Mine would have been WAY to wobbly if I left off the bottom pieces. You could always go to a hardware store and buy shorter legs for the bottom section. They usually carry legs that have the same bolt at the store and if you painted them white you would never notice the difference but it is only going to knock off a few inches if you do it that way.

A picture would help, I purchased this shoe rack and it buckled at the plastic connects and all my shoes were on the floor in a heap. I would pass on this rack if you are planning on putting maximum amount of shoes.

No, or at least I haven't found a way to do this. I have stacked the shoe racks which are designed to stack, but the 3 tier is not designed the same way.

No. The stability of the unit, which is considerable, relies on the shelf. You could lower it so that it is at ground level. We use counter stools.

Just under 2/5 inches between floor and bottom of lowest shelf; you'd only be able to fit zorries under there. :)

No - the lower shelf is needed to keep the legs in line - you could, however, eliminate the middle shelf.

As I have it set up, the lower (keyboard) shelf is 28 inches above the floor. The casters account for 5-1/2 inches of that height. The top shelf is 3 inches higher than the lower shelf. It appears the desk could be assembled to be 1 inch lower than that. What you see in the picture is what you get. it is not adjustable after assembly. If that fits your needs, it is a very sturdy desk and I am well satisfied with it.

I'm not at home at the moment, but I think it's about 2.5 or 3 inches. Most of my shoes fit under the shelf, but thicker shoes, like clogs, get put on the shelf.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't lower the bottom shelf, but it would mean drilling new holes in the legs so it might not look that tidy. We gave the shelf away so I can't measure to see what the actual clearance is.

The lower shelf is definitely what keeps it stable. I would not recommend not using it.

We have ours on the lowest shelf in the living room. I had similar concern but it actually works for us with the couch.
