It’s a tower-style shoe rack with a tall and narrow design which allows it to fit in tight nooks and spaces. It has 7 shelves in total and each one can hold one pair of shoes.

8. A Versatile Storage System
If you want something that’s not just a shoe rack but can serve as a more versatile and general storage system fr your entryway, consider something like this, especially if the umbrella stand is something that you’re interested in.

There are lots and lots of different combinations, styles, and designs to choose from and this is one of the options. It’s an elegant laminate wood piece that measures 38″ W x 68″ H x 15. 5″ in total when assembled. It’s not particularly big but it does take advantage of the vertical space.
