Ok, I've been rumbled, well done Kate )t' Your crazy guesses made me smile, not a wotnot or a thingymajig :-D :-D :-D

It fits in the recess under the window sill, in the porch, the front door is on the left. Keeps my boots and shoes tidy all in one place instead of me having to look for them, wondering where I left them.

It could be used as book shelves, or for a TV as it is quite heavy and sturdy. Could also be used in the greenhouse or potting shed, or for tools in the garage. You could make it taller or deeper depending on the length of wood you have. I used batons to join it all together but you could improvise with pallet wood. It will last a lot longer than the mass produced chip board stuff you buy. It cost virtually nothing, I had the screws collected over the years, and the varnish was a few pence from Woolies on the last day before closure. Why not have a go, tis easy.

Hubby says he can tell from the photo that you have no one else in the house as the shoes are so neat :-D But he also wants to know why you have so many pairs of shoes (he obviously hasn't looked at my shoe rack recently {rofwl} )

Anyway we are all very impressed with your workmanship )t'

Forgot to mention........I have made this just for the challenge and the fun of it, not to enter the competition. I believe the taking part, for ones own enjoyment and fulfilment, is more important than winning.
