bamboo shoes shelf I bought a bamboo shelf today to put my sneakers, sandals and canvas on, because I found they easily got dust on them under my bed. The shelf was originally unassembled so I had to installed them piece by piece. I unwrapped the package there were four pieces of plate made of bamboo. (I chose a bamboo because I thought it fit into the color of my bed, desk and bookshelf.) assemble the shelf is not difficult if you know the way to do it. Firstly, i started from the bottom. there were two plates which was supposed to be vertical on sides while others would fit in between to form for tiers where you put shoes on. all i needed to do was just to screw them together. But I tip I learned is that you don't need screw them too tight, you'd rather just screw them to be held together without breaking apart then you can start tighten every lag spike after they are all in the right place when the shelf can barely stand.
