I had some leftover 3/4" maple plywood that my co-worker gave me a while ago from his own home projects. I was limited by the specific space in the room that I wanted to put it, but fortunately for me, the "shoe rack" fit perfectly and used up all the wood without having any wasted pieces. The OCD side of me always enjoys it when this happens.
I say "shoe rack" because the middle shelf space is a little tall for shoe storage, but I liked how it turned out. I went back and forth on how to do the legs, and decided to go with this semi floating look. I don't know if I am that crazy about it, but I like it enough not to change this one.
