Lidl has introduced a new shoe storage solution priced at £5.99, offering five levels of secure storage that closely resembles a more expensive alternative at B&Q, which costs £11.50.
Product Details and Features
The LIVARNO Shoe Storage, available in Lidl's 'Middle of Lidl' aisles, measures L26 x W24 x H65.5cm and features a white aesthetic. According to Lidl, the organiser has a "versatile use" thanks to its "5 levels with raised edges for secure storage." Each tier can hold one pair of shoes, accommodating five pairs in total.
Lidl describes the product as a "modular system that can be separated as required, sturdy construction made of easy-care durable, plastic, easy tool-free assembly. Maximum load of 1kg per compartment, 3-year warranty."
Comparison with B&Q Alternative
B&Q's 6-Tier Foldable Plastic Shoe Rack, priced at £11.50, offers an additional tier, allowing storage of one more pair. The product description on B&Q's website states: "Maintain an orderly and stylish shoe collection with this 6-Tier Folding Shoe Rack. Designed with six tiers and A-shaped support panels, it provides the ideal display platforms, maximising vertical space and keeping your shoes neatly organised."
It adds: "Made of high-quality plastic, this durable shoe rack can accommodate a variety of shoe types from boots to sneakers. Super easy to assemble, it serves as a reliable storage solution. This shoe rack includes a back panel to prevent shoes from sliding off. Lightweight and easily foldable, it's perfect for dorms and homes, and the open design allows you to easily access your shoes."
At a glance, the two products are hard to tell apart, with the main difference being the price and the number of tiers. Lidl's option offers a lower cost for slightly less capacity, making it a budget-friendly choice for those looking to organise their footwear.
