Organization matters as much in woodworking as in the home. Our shoes and keys and mail and bags were piled by the door, and it couldn’t go on. I was inspired to build this table and shoe rack around the cut-off granite from the Blandena kitchen build. The granite wasn’t square, but you’d have to look closely to see it now. The panels are walnut armor-ply banded with hardwood. I sloped the outer shoe shelves for asthetics, and set them on cleats for easy removal and cleaning. Four coats of poly provide adequate protection from wet, dirty shoes. If I were to build this one again, I would dado the panel joints and widen the face frame to overhang the panels like the angled shelves.
