Kmart shoppers go wild for 'amazing' $29 storage item: 'Need this'

Let’s be real, trying to find a shoe rack that not only has enough room for all of your shoes but also looks aesthetically pleasing in your home is quite a difficult task. Sure, you might find one that fits neatly by your front door or in your wardrobe, but if you can only display around six pairs of shoes then what’s the point?

As always, Kmart has come to the rescue and recently introduced a 3 Tier Clear Shoe Rack for just $29. Each shelf has a maximum capacity of 3kg, it’s 57cm tall, 70cm wide and 26cm deep, and the best part? It’s stackable!

The product is currently going viral on TikTok, with content creator Angela Pan's (@panapetite) videos showing it off racking up over one million views.

“Found the chicest shoe rack at Kmart!” she wrote. “Brb grabbing one for each of my shoe categories.”

Shoppers quickly took to the comments to praise the item, which currently has a 5-star rating on Kmart’s website.

“I’ve never placed an order so fast! I was looking for something so similar,” one person wrote, while another added, “Just ordered 4, I have been looking for something like this for months”.

“They finally brought out a non-cheap-looking one,” a third remarked, followed by someone else who said, “Shut up and take my money”.

“Wow, need this!” a different user replied, with others describing it as “so pretty” and “actually cute”.

Alternate uses for popular item

Meanwhile, others said they were “inspired” to use the product to display other items in the home rather than just shoes, with Sydney shopper Lyndz (@lindzngyn) showing off her handbags and perfume collection.

“Need this for my bags,” one follower replied, while someone else said, “That’s super cute but I’m thinking of using it for my plants”.

“So using this for my perfume collection,” another added, followed by a shopper who commented, “This would make a really cute bookshelf”.

Not everyone rushed to stores to purchase it, however, with a handful of users pointing out that it’s not the most child-friendly shelving unit.

“Looks cute. Nice idea but having a toddler in the house and thinking to style like this would be a bad move,” one disappointed user shared, with another writing, “Man I wish I could do this in my house, too many little hands”.

Important note if you plan on stacking the product

Angela (@panapetite) shared a video showcasing how easy it is to stack the 3 Tier Clear Shoe Rack, but pointed out that if you’re combining two products you’ll only end up with 5 tiers.

“The only slight issue is this is the highest it goes. So instead of doing 3 and 3 to make 6, you can only do 3 and 2 to make 5 because the first four [pillars] are legs and they won’t fit,” she explained.

“So you’re kind of left with one extra [shelf], but you can still just kind of put the toppers in and have 5, or you buy 3 packs so you end up with 7 [tiers]. But this alone has already changed the game so much.”
