This DIY shoe rack bench is very simple to make and cost about $30 of material. It’s very sturdy and could also be used as a bench for seating. Our boys keep their backpacks, books and lunch boxes stacked on top so that they don’t forget to grab it before they leave to school.

Not just 2x6.. dimensions dont add up.
Ana, I wanted to point out a mis-print in this plan. Your site says 2x6 and with 3 across it is supposed to be 16 1/2" wide. The link to the diy plan calls for 2x4s and 2x6. Please fix this to prevent someone else having to do a second wood run. Thank you :)

Lumber sizes
Gena, dimensional lumber isn't true to size. A 2x4 is actually 1½ x 3½. A 2x6 is 1½ x 5½. So three 2x6s add up to 16½. Hope this helps
