Shoe cabinet assembly

Takes about 45 min

Shoe cabinets often use flip-down compartments that need a precise fit to open smoothly. The carpenter builds the carcass, fixes the back, fits the flip mechanisms or hinges, and adjusts each compartment so it tips out fully and closes flush. Because these cabinets are top-heavy when opened, the unit is tied to the wall with the kit's anchor.

Plan for about 45 minutes, from the price shown on this page.

Keep the box by the entrance, clear the wall, and keep the shoes out until the carpenter has tested every compartment.

Questions about this service

Why does my flip-down shoe cabinet tip forward?

When compartments open, the weight shifts forward. Tying the top to the wall stops this, and the carpenter does it with your go-ahead.

One compartment does not close. Can it be fixed?

Yes. The flip mechanism usually needs a small adjustment, which is part of the job.

Can the carpenter assemble furniture from any brand?

Yes, as long as the maker's instructions and fittings are in the box.
