Custom Walnut Shoe Rack for a Narrow Wall in Fort Collins, USA

Client: Emily from Fort Collins, Colorado
Product: Custom Shoe Rack – Walnut Finish
Location: Fort Collins, USA


The Challenge: Fitting Storage into a Narrow Entryway Wall

Emily contacted us from Fort Collins with a clear request — she had a narrow wall in her entryway and needed a shoe rack that would fit perfectly, store several pairs of shoes, and still offer a shelf surface for everyday items like keys, sunglasses, or mail.

She loved our standard walnut bench design, but needed it taller and more spacious to maximize the vertical real estate without overwhelming the room. The goal was clear:  blend form and function into a beautiful, warm piece that would last.

The Solution: Taller, Smarter, and Just Right

We adapted one of our existing designs to better match Emily’s space. We:

  • Increased the height to 114 cm to create more vertical storage

  • Added extra shelves to maximize capacity

  • Maintained a top surface for keys, plants, or decorative items

  • Finished the piece in rich walnut tone, which contrasts beautifully with light walls and floors

The end result: a solid, balanced, and eye-catching furniture piece that fits like a glove.


The Result: “One of the Nicest Pieces of Furniture I Own”

After delivery and assembly, Emily shared her feedback — and it made our day:

“This is one of the nicest pieces of furniture I own! It’s stunning! Solidly built, easy to assemble, clearly designed with love of the craft, and the packaging was perfection!”

She appreciated not just the craftsmanship, but also the experience: personalized support, fast communication (even with US customs!), and thoughtful details like a handwritten note and a sweet treat included in the box.

“Worth the money and the wait. I’m now figuring out what else I need and want! A+++”
