Would this shelf be ok in a closet for shoes?

No. It's not nearly strong enough for that. I had to put the ends back together twice just putting it under the sink and there aren't enough of the little shelf pieces to make 2 full shelves. It's made to leave holes for pipes and the plastic shelves just sit on top of the rails.

You could put shoes in it but I would only use it inside, in an environmental controlled area. The drawers do not seal in an airtight manner.

There's 5 inches between the bottom shelf and a hardwood floor. Some shoes should fit, some, of coarse, will not.

You could fit 4 per shelf.... it's a little tight. Fits only low cut shoes no ankle boots.

It's a beautiful piece. If the inner shelf measurements will adequately accommodate the shoes you are thinking about, it would be a very classy way to keep an entryway looking very nice. You might want to use some water-proof shelf coverings to protect the shelving wood.

Definitely, I use this to store shoes (10 size mens, and 6 1/2 womens) with plenty of room. Only obscenely large bags would have trouble fitting.

I really dont think so. There are pre-drilled holes for the shelves so i dont think that would work.

It would be best to use this shoe organizer horizontally because it's made that way for stacking. Holes for the dowels are on the bottom when sitting horizontally. Also, shoes sit upright in this position. You can use it vertically though because the shelves are that strong, but your shoes would have to lay down sideways. Also, no security when stacking vertically.

If you used some additional hardware you should be able to, but it would likely GREATLY reduce the amount of weight each shelf could support. If you wanted to support light weight stuff like stuffed animals or a few sweaters should be fine.

I am not sure what you are considering placing on these shelves so it is difficult to assess your exact needs...if i knew your weight requirements then I could make a better assessment. I have only used them for shoes...but they are well constructed and sturdy. They feel like they could hold considerable weight without bowing or bending.

There are shelves inside but I would imagine if you could find a rod that would fit inside, you could turn it into a closet.

You can leave some shelves out so your heels fit standing up.I used all the shelves for more room for shoes

I used this shelf in an armoire; it seems it should work but maybe it would depend on the weight of the piece that will be on the shelf. Fact is: I don't know.

Actually I combined 4 of these for my wife's shoes. every other rack, I didn't install the middle shelf to allow for taller shoes to be stored. I anchored it to the wall and it is pretty stable!

I did not purchase the racks i ordered for this use but for extra storage in a closet on the shelf. However, I tried shoes to see if they would work, and they did. But boots would only work on the top of the rack and more than likely be too heavy.

I would say yes but you only have two shelves inside, so you want fit many unless you stack them up.

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.
