As part of the garage makeover, we want to have simple, functional, yet elegant solution to our shoe storage, at the same time, serving as a bench for taking on/off bulky shoes in winter. As you may know, we only have a narrow space left after cars parked inside the garage, the dimension of the bench will be important for us.
It is hard to imagine that a simple bench can cost $100, not to mention they are either too bulky or too simple for show storage. And apparently we don't have the skills to build one to our specification, we have to keep looking.
Luckily, there is an IKEA store closeby, even though it may not be QH's favoriate store. I did some research on catelog and IKEA's web site before going to the store. I nailed our choice to three:
- KANTRA, Bench: $79.00
- LEKSVIK, Shoe rack: $69.00
- OTTENBY, Bench: $99.00
Our final choice is LEKSVIK! It is not easy decision, it took us two trips to the IKEA store! This may not be our perfect selection, but we can work with it. The only problem I have is the color, it is too mark and it doesn't match our color scheme in the garage at all. I plan to spray paint it in the near future. Watch out for my future posting.
