PINKPUM Shoe Storage Boxes with Lids 12 Pack

I love the idea of these -stackable, translucent, little door flaps in the front and ventilation in the back - like pretty much everything I was looking for to hasten some order to the pile of stuff in the corner of my bedroom. Sadly, these only appear as pictured when they are freshly assembled and empty (and probably glued together since actually getting them to finish t together and stack up as shown is virtually impossible. They tried to design them so they would stack neatly but the system of little nubs doesn’t really cut it and by layer three, they start to list a bit. Needless to say, I now have them tucked away around the house in ones and twos instead of a towering double stack that is a monument to my sartorial organizing skills and abilities. So bummed but…moving right along…). The main body of the boxes is one sheet of mostly translucent plastic with these teeny little tabs around the edges that have to be bent ALL the way down to snap and (sorta kinda) lock into the front and back pieces. This is crucial if you want them to stay upright and reasonably stacked atop one another. Each drawer/block thingie can hold ~ one men’s short boot, a pair of men’s sneakers artfully arranged or a pair of similarly arranged women’s boots, one pair of men’s slip-ons, or up to three pair of women’s flats/loafers snuggled up heel to toe. Had I anticipated that, I probably would’ve bought different ones or used these for more generalized storage. In retrospect (and especially taking the cost into account), I probably would’ve kept looking and directed my funds into more sturdy storage options.
