Setup and Assembly
This shoe tower features a no-tool assembly process. Please ensure all components are present before beginning assembly.
Components:
- Vertical Poles
- Horizontal Poles
- Fabric Shelves (5 pieces)
- Plastic Connectors (T-shaped and end caps)
Assembly Steps:
- Prepare the Base: Connect four vertical poles using four T-shaped plastic connectors to form the base frame. Ensure the poles are fully inserted into the connectors for stability.
- Attach First Shelf: Slide one fabric shelf onto two horizontal poles. Insert the ends of these horizontal poles into the T-shaped connectors on the base frame.
- Build Upwards: Attach four new vertical poles to the top openings of the T-shaped connectors. Repeat step 2 for the next fabric shelf, connecting it to the newly added vertical poles.
- Continue for All Tiers: Continue this process, adding vertical poles and fabric shelves tier by tier, until all five shelves are in place.
- Secure Top Frame: For the top tier, connect the final set of vertical poles with T-shaped connectors and then attach the top horizontal poles with the last fabric shelf.
- Finalize Connections: Ensure all poles are firmly seated in their respective plastic connectors. Apply gentle, even pressure to secure connections. Do not force components, as this may cause damage.
- Add End Caps: Place the plastic end caps on the very top of the vertical poles to complete the structure.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Whitmor Spacemaker Shoe Tower, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your shoe tower, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Issue: The shoe tower feels unstable or wobbly.
Solution: Ensure all vertical and horizontal poles are fully inserted into their respective plastic connectors. Verify the unit is placed on a level surface. Distribute the weight of the shoes evenly across all shelves. - Issue: Difficulty inserting poles into connectors or connectors breaking during assembly.
Solution: Ensure proper alignment of poles and connectors before applying pressure. Apply gentle, even pressure; do not force components. If a connector breaks, contact Whitmor customer support for replacement parts. - Issue: Fabric shelves sag or do not hold shoes properly.
Solution: Confirm that the fabric shelves are correctly stretched and secured by the horizontal poles. Ensure no more than two pairs of shoes are placed per shelf, and that the total weight does not exceed the unit's capacity.
