apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Ok, so please tell me, I am not the only one who thinks $150 is too much to spend on a shoe rack!

I am on an eternal search for the best shoe storage solution for my long, narrow hallway (once featured here as a "good question") and I thought I had, at long last, found my solution! I thought, it's such a GOOD solution I'll willingly shell out whatever they're asking! Until I saw they're asking $150. What the...?

Some sheet metal with a few bends in a brake & screwed to the wall. Definitely not worth $150..... Wonder how much it would cost to have it custom made by an architectural sheet metal shop...probably a lot less than that and it would fit the measurements of your space. Find a roofer/sheet metal worker and show them a picture.

Almost looks to me like you could use a long piece of prefab gutter from HomeDepot & screw it to the wall.

Those shoe racks look kind of like something that Ikea has (or at least used to have) for about $15 or so.
