Grey and Gold Flip Shoe Cabinet 90 x 17 x 120cm - Slim Profile Entryway Storage

Seventeen centimetres deep. That is the number that matters here — this cabinet holds a household's shoes while projecting barely more than a skirting board from the wall, which is what makes it usable in a narrow hallway or a small apartment entrance where a conventional shoe rack would block the corridor. Flip-down compartments tilt the shoes rather than storing them flat, which is the design trick that makes such a slim depth possible. At 90cm wide and 120cm tall it uses vertical space instead of floor. The grey finish with gold accents means it reads as a piece of furniture in an entryway people see, not as storage — which matters, because a shoe cabinet by the front door is the first thing a visitor looks at.

Specifications

Buying guide

Depth is the specification to check first in any hallway. At 17cm this is genuinely slim, and measuring your corridor width before ordering is worth two minutes — a cabinet that leaves less than 80cm of passage will annoy you daily. Understand how flip cabinets work: shoes sit at an angle in tilting compartments, which is what allows the shallow depth, but it also limits what fits. Trainers, flats, sandals and most men's shoes are fine; tall boots and chunky high-top trainers often are not, so keep those elsewhere. Count pairs honestly and add half again, because shoe storage always fills. Assembly is usually required, so allow time and check all fixings after a few weeks of use, since flip mechanisms take repeated stress. Wipe the finish rather than using abrasive cleaners, particularly on the gold detailing.

How it compares

Against an open shoe rack, a cabinet hides the shoes, which looks far better in a visible entryway, though open racks let shoes air and cost much less. Compared with the deeper multilayer shoe cabinets, this 17cm depth is the one that fits a narrow hallway. Against the bucket flip cabinets in the same family, those are wider and hold more but need more wall. Against storing shoes in boxes, a flip cabinet keeps every pair accessible without unstacking.

Frequently asked questions

Will tall boots fit?
Usually not. Flip compartments store shoes at an angle, which is what allows the slim 17cm depth, but it limits height — trainers, flats, sandals and most men's shoes fit, tall boots do not.

How much hallway space does it need?
It projects only 17cm from the wall. Measure your corridor first and aim to leave at least 80cm of clear passage.

Does it need assembling?
Assembly is generally required. Check the fixings again after a few weeks, since flip mechanisms take repeated stress in daily use.
