Why we love this deal

No matter how organized you keep your home, there’s always one area that no matter how hard you try, it can’t stay clutter free for more than a few days. And for many, that’s the shoe area. Whether you kick off your sneakers as soon as you come in the front door, or have relegated them to the laundry room (out of sight, out of mind), the self-dubbed designated shoe area where everyone leaves their flats, heels, and flip flops, always manages to find a way to be a disorganized, haphazard pile instead of a neat area where you can easily find your shoes. Sure, a shoe bin or organized system certainly helps with the mess, but with a more long-lasting, sturdy solution, like a piece of furniture specifically designed to store (and hide) your shoes, it can be so much easier to stay organized. 

With the Bel Ark Rattan Shoe Cabinet, you can keep all kinds of shoes organized and tucked away without anyone being the wiser, and right now as part of Walmart’s early Black Friday deals, you can get the piece for 56% off. Instead of paying the original retail price of $206, you can get the cabinet for only $90.

Why do shoppers love it?

Unlike some organizational pieces, which work but can be a bit of an eyesore around your home, this shoe cabinet seamlessly blends in with existing furniture. Made of manufactured wood, the shoe cabinet has two flip drawers, which fold in and out, to provide storage for between 18 to 25 pairs of shoes, along with an extra shelf along the bottom for even more storage. The tip drawers, which have two shelves each, are designed to easily open when you need to retrieve or store a pair of shoes, and then closes in, creating a hidden compartment where the shoes are out of sight until the next person goes to open it. There are even center dividers in both drawers, which can be adjusted or removed to accommodate shoes of different sizes. That said, high boots or tall heels probably aren’t ideal to be stored in this cabinet, simply because the space is more cramped than a closet or larger shelf and you wouldn’t want to ruin the top of a knee high boot, for example. 

Crafted with a hollow woven rattan material, users can see the shoes if they look hard enough, but the design is meant to keep your stored items hidden and out of the way. Plus, the rattan material gives the cabinet an extra stylish component that makes it look a bit more elegant and natural paired with other furniture elements. The extra shelf along the bottom, although it can accommodate more shoes, can also store smaller items, or be used as a decorative area if you so choose. The top of the cabinet also provides room for storage or decorative elements, and the two side hooks on the cabinet allow for storage of hats, umbrellas, handbags, keys, and more.

Measuring 31.5 inches long, 9.45 inches wide, and 43.4 inches high, this cabinet certainly isn’t petite, but it is thin and compact, so it won’t be overtly bulky or stick out in an inconvenient way. And because the cabinet sits up off the ground by almost 6 inches, it’s easy to mop or sweep underneath when necessary.
