Bedside table for shoes - which one to choose?

A bedside table for shoes is an indispensable attribute of every hallway. It's no secret that it's almost impossible to do without this piece of furniture. A bedside table for shoes in the hallway allows you to keep any things intact and safe for several months. In addition, if your home is visited by visitors, they may have a bad impression of the owners because of scattered and dirty shoes, sneakers, etc. But in addition to its main purpose, this furniture should carry an aesthetic function. Today we will talk about how to choose the right shoe cabinet.

Possible complete sets

Often, many furniture stores offer their customers already ready-made furniture for the hallway, which includes, in addition to various hangers and mirrors, also a bedside table for shoes. But if you are not satisfied with this option because of inconsistency with the design or simply because of the high cost, you always have the opportunity to purchase a separate cabinet. It can have several branches (for example, for winter and summer things). There is also a bedside table for shoes with a seat. This kit is very convenient, but it is suitable, unfortunately, only for spacious rooms. Therefore, the owners of small Khrushchev have to be satisfied with simple curbstones without chairs with several drawers.

Choosing the right size

Before you start buying, pay attention to what size should be your bedside table for shoes. There are both high and longitudinal models, with deep shelves and without them. Furniture, equipped with deep shelves, can accommodate up to fifteen pairs of shoes. But you will sacrifice a few centimeters of free space. To date, you can find special tables, adapted for a small living space. Often they are narrow, but very high, and the width of the shelves at the same time is no more than twenty-five centimeters. Their design resembles a multi-storey house in miniature with many "floors" for shoes. The final choice depends on the exact dimensions of your hallway.

Choice of construction

All the existing nightstands are presented in two versions: closed (with swing doors on brackets) or open (not equipped with such doors). The first option is very convenient for large families, because this cabinet can accommodate a lot of pairs of shoes and it will not be noticeable (and accordingly, there will be no mess). But it is important to remember that this design will not have ventilation compartments, which means that things will not be ventilated. That is, it is suitable only for dry shoes.

The last criterion is the choice of material

Modern models of pedestals can be made of metal, plastic, MDF or plastic. Also there are elite versions from natural wood. Here, there are no restrictions - each material is ideal for a shoe table. Therefore, the final choice depends on your financial capabilities.
