The Build
Everything the cut list and materials list call for. Wood species is your call — I used oak, but the plan works with whatever matches your budget and style.
| Product | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Full-extension drawer slides (14", 100 lb) | The glide — the heart of the whole build |
| 3/4" oak plywood | Tray bottoms (the exact board I used goes in and out of stock — this is a comparable option) |
| 1×3 oak board | Tray sides & back |
| 1/4" × 1/2" oak trim | Cleats |
| 3/8" quarter-round oak trim | Top trim piece / cleat |
| 1/2"-thick 1×2 oak hobby board | Front lip |
| Wood screws | Tray assembly |
| Corner clamps | Holding frames square during assembly |
| General Finishes sealant | Finish & protection — shoe trays take abuse |
Finishing Touches (Optional)
None of these are required — they're the details that took my trays from "storage" to "custom closet."
| Product | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Iron-on edge banding | Cleaning up exposed plywood edges |
| Retique-It | Liquid wood primer — what I used to blend the tray fronts |
| Brass strips | Covers the front gap — hides AND looks pretty |
| Brass pulls | Accent hardware |
| The closet system I'm using | The unit my trays are mounted in |
