FAQs

1. Can the shelf height be adjusted to accommodate taller boots?

No, the shelf positions are fixed during assembly and cannot be adjusted. For taller boots, consider storing them on the bottom shelf where there’s more vertical clearance, or place them beside the bench.

2. What type of flooring is best for this bamboo bench?

The bench works well on all indoor flooring types including hardwood, tile, laminate, and carpet. For hardwood floors, consider using felt pads under the legs to prevent scratches. On carpet, ensure the bench sits level for optimal stability.

3. Is it better to stack or shelve shoes?

Therefore, the ideal approach might be to place frequently used shoes on shelves, while less frequently used shoes are stacked and stored in shoe boxes to maximize space utilization.
