I was asked to make a Shoe Cabinet for a wedding anniversary. They wanted a lot of storage space and something extra. Well? You know those shoe cabinets from IKEA? The ones where the drawers fold out and down? That’s what they wanted. Plus a secret compartment for valuables. Check out the video I made for the finished project (it’s a promo). I also wrote the music for the video. Is it way over the top maybe? Let me know…

Shoe Storage Cabinet
The Shoe Cabinet was made with birch plywood. The stain is a dark brown with hints or red that show when the light shines on the piece. The clear protective coat is a water based poly in satin.

3 drawers with 3 racks each (adjustable)
You open the drawers by pulling towards you and down. This cabinet comes with 3 drawers where you can store your shoes. Each drawer has 3 adjustable levels for maximum space.

Magnetic key opens a secret compartment
The key is held in place inside the top drawer. There’s a corresponding magnetic lock on the very top of this furniture. You place the key on the invisible lock and it opens the secret compartment. You would not even know it was there by just looking. So let’s look inside…

Secret Compartment
Here’s the secret compartment! You can see the magnetic lock from the inside. However, closed and locked, it’s impossible to tell there’s a hiding place. This is a great spot to store your jewelry and valuables.
