I have been wanting a mudroom locker for over a year and could not quite find something affordable that I liked. While searching I found the line and my mind started spinning with affordable ideas!
This is 2 entryway organizers (I left the shoe cubbies out), a 36 in entryway coat hanger cubby and a 2 cubby shoe bench.
The entryway organizers are great for storage. I left the shoe cubbies out because my husband and boys WILL NOT pick their shoes up and put them on a shelf so open cubbies allows them to be lazy but clean It took me (and my 9 year old son) about 2 hours to put the first one together but it was his first attempt at building so most of the time was spent explaining and coaching. The second one took me about 45 minutes to build alone. A few tips: before placing the backing mark where the top and middle shelf are so you can put a couple nails in that area to support the backing. The instructions only say to put nails around the outer border.
The shoe bench took me about 30 minutes to put together. I have ordered a cushion to put on top for protection.
The 36 in wall cubby is a breeze to put together. It took me about 30 minutes to put together alone.
I put wood glue in any seam that was not visible on all 4 pieces to add a little support to the pieces. For the entryway organizers and the bench I added the wood glue BEFORE putting the backer on! The entryway organizers have a piece of wood that doesn’t go on the pieces as it is to help pack and protect the box. I used one of these boards as a support in the back to connect the organizers and bench together and painted the top of the board white so it matched.
This cost me less than $500 total! It has plenty of space for a family of 4 and guests.
Love it!
