Lopi said...: Sal, I forgot to mention that the MDF boards are too almost recycled. They were remains of bigger panels and the hardware shop (Praktiker) sold them for 0.84 euros each or they would be thrown away. I couldn't let them do that. And they also let me keep some smaller ones for free. Bargain!; 22 September 2008 at 23:42

Jen @ SkinnedKnees.net said...: Do you mind if I ask how this has held up? I have a shoe storage solution already but I love the ingenuity of this one. I was curious if the cardboard rolls held up well though.; 11 March 2009 at 06:40
Lopi said...: Hi Jen! Thanks for visiting.
How this has hold up these last 8 months, has really exceeded my expectations. Although one of the bottom rolls had started to fail just before the move, I'm happy to report it didn't actually collapse. Now that I'm about to "built it" again in my new place, I'm planing to use new rolls and those I have been saving for this purpose are even stronger than the old ones. Note that I will be using a couple of extra ones in the sides to hold the bottom self and that I'm certainly not putting a wet mop anywhere near this structure! Expect a picture soon, as I am now finishing my new closet!; 11 March 2009 at 12:41
