A bank and a rack to take off our shoes and hang our coats, allow us to maximize the space in a hall. Today we are going to share with you a pallet furniture that has two functions at the same time, it’s a bench and a shoerack. You can also add to it some wheels that will allow you to move it wherever you want, this will facilitate you the cleaning tasks too. This bench-shoerack can be very useful also for dressing rooms with small closets, where there’s a little space to store shoes.

If you want to build it, the materials and tools that you’re going to need are: 2 pallets, a saw, a hammer, a crowbar or a lever, 4 wheels, varnish, screws, nails and a screwdriver.

To start we are going to turn around the 2 pallets and remove the planks below them, using a hammer and a lever.

We want to expand the space between the shelves so we are going to cut eight more boards to add in the guides, achieving a larger space for the shoes. This step is completely optional and should be performed according to the dimensions of the pallets that you have.
