Build one unit now; a second pins on top later. Step 1 picks your size.

An original Square & Furrow plan: designed for today's homes, every step drawn, cut list for standard lumber, imperial and metric.

At a glance

  • Size: 20, 27 or 34" (508, 686 or 864 mm) wide, 12" (305 mm) deep. Rated 15, 20 or 25 lb (7, 9 or 11 kg) a tier
  • Skill: Beginner
  • Build time: One weekend: a day to build, a day to finish
  • Materials: approx. US$70–110
  • In the plan: 13-page PDF, US Letter, 12 illustrated steps, imperial, with metric in the lists and steps

Inside the 13-page plan

  • An exploded drawing that shows how every part goes together
  • Dimensioned views of the finished build, in feet and inches
  • Materials list and hardware schedule, with standard lumber sizes and metric equivalents
  • Cut list for standard lumber, so you can cut everything before you start assembling
  • Clear illustrated step-by-step assembly drawings: one job per step, every part drawn, fastener positions marked

Safety: Never climb it, sit on it or hang on it. Rated 15, 20 or 25 lb (7, 9 or 11 kg) a tier. Every stack and every unit 18" (460 mm) tall or taller MUST be tied to a wall stud (steps 10 and 11), as must any unit children or climbing pets can reach: it guards against tipping under a child of about 50 lb (23 kg), never a climbing rating.

Slim Stackable Shoe Rack

Built in home workshops more than a century ago, and redrawn for the way you build today.

Step by step

Every part drawn. Every fastener marked.

Each step is one job with its own clear drawing: the parts it adds are shaded, every nail and screw position is marked, and the hardware and tools sit right beside it. An exploded view shows how the whole build goes together before you make a single cut.

Where does this plan come from?

It is an original Square & Furrow design for today's homes, produced with AI-assisted tools and checked by our build model. You get a materials list, metric sizes, a cut list for standard lumber and clear illustrated step-by-step assembly drawings, every part drawn. Sizes are in feet and inches, with metric alongside.

Can a beginner follow it?

Yes. Each step is a single job with its own drawing: the parts that step adds are shaded, the nails, screws and bolts it drives are marked where they go, and the hardware for that step is listed beside it. An exploded drawing at the front shows how the whole build goes together before you cut anything.

What do I get?

A 13-page print-ready PDF (US Letter) to download after purchase. It prints well at home or at a copy shop, and reads fine on a tablet in the workshop.
