An heirloom-grade entryway organizer designed to elegantly solve two functional challenges: providing organized shoe storage and supporting heavy, wet potted plants. Built from White Oak for superior water resistance and structural integrity, this design utilizes traditional stopped dadoes and spacer blocks to construct open, self-draining lower shoe shelves, while keeping the top plant shelf completely solid to capture soil and water runoff. A front apron and twin back stretchers completely eliminate sagging and racking under heavy loads.
