This was a simple project that I made one afternoon a few months ago. I really needed some organization in the closet, and this was the solution. And because it was going to be hidden in the closet, I chose to go with MDF. Also, because I had a lot of it in the garage. This project also gave me a chance to play with my Kreg jig.
I made this based on a design I saw by Jonathan a little while back, with a few minor exceptions. I don’t have a lip on the front of the shelves. And the legs stand out a little proud of the shelves as shown in picture 5.
The overall dimensions of this are 41 1/2” long, 15 1/2” wide, and 15 3/4 tall.

Hi Chad, looks great. Its holding the shoes, lots of shoes, hers and his. All you need to do is put the shoes purchases on a freeze and your ok.
Nice use of the Kreg jig.

GREAT job / project! Gotta love that Kreg jig. If only we could keep the MDF dust down (nasty stuff). Thanks for sharing.

Nice job, however, it appears that your hard work didn’t grant you any space on the top shelf!!! Oh well, best to keep mama happy!!

Well done, amigo. MDF is the plain jane workhorse, huh? I did some Kreg work with and without the vacuum adapter, just as a test. Huge difference especially when capturing the dreaded MDF cloud.

870pilot & Mayflower- MDF is really nasty stuff. This is what I look like when I work with this stuff.
