Installing Ikea Three Layers Shoe Cabinet

The shoe cabinet still wrapped in plastic. My favourite tool, the powerdrill! Installing the first section. All done, the shoe cabinet mounted on the wall!
I have been spending too much time in Ikea and home improvement lately. There are still lots of stuff to do but then work kept me away from doing all these. My daughter has lots of shoes and all the shoe racks in my house are filled up to the brim. So, it is time to get a new shoe rack or maybe a shoe cabinet, something that is practical and can keep all the shoes neatly. I found this three sections shoe cabinet in Ikea. It is made from industrial strength plastics and can be installed vertically or horizontally. Since it is made from plastic and light, the installation process was a breeze. I just need to get my measurement on the wall that I am going to install it right. I mounted it on the wall so that it will get in the way. I managed to get everything installed and cleaned up within one hour! Now, Maggi mee time, to reward myself! Ha ha ha!

ikea is practical, and cheap. cheap for a designer looking item ie. but won't last long, but good enough for me. because by the time it's 'wasted', it would be time to change to new pattern, haha.
