ABSTRACT:
A modular shoe rack consisting of a pair of rods extending between, and supported by, a pair of side frames. The side frames are generally rectangular in configuration and are identical in construction. Each side frame includes a groove arrangement in the bottom and a mating tongue arrangement at the top such that plural side frames may be stacked one upon the other in a stable manner. Each side frame also includes a receiving hole at each side thereof sized to receive the rods. As such, the rods may be inserted within the receiving holes of two side frames to define a shoe rack of single unit length. Thereafter, an additional pair of rods may be inserted into the receiving holes on an opposite side of one of the previous side frames, and a third side frame connected to the free ends of these additional rods. With this arrangement, a shoe rack having two units length is provided by using only three side frames, thus saving the material employed to form a fourth side frame, which would be required using prior art devices. The elongated structure is also formed as a single unit which is more structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing than a pair of prior art devices.
