Our topic for today is limited to cubby/coatrack style entry-way storage solutions for childrens' coats, backpacks, bike helmets, galoshes and so on.
ECR4Kids seems to manufacture the most reasonably priced, durable solutions so I'm sticking to their offerings.
OPTION A - "Double-Up"
2 units wide. 48" tall. With toe-kick and bench. We would need 2 of these side by side. By doing so, we would come closest to achieving all of our goals - except it might look funny to have two side by side with the double panel in the middle where they are joined.
$158.88 each.
OPTION B - "Almost Perfect"
4 Units wide. 46" tall. No toe-kick. No bench. But perfect width and height. We would need to attach some small legs to it to elevate it off the floor.
$199.99

OPTION C - "Shorty"
4 units wide with bench. Perfect width but only 35" tall because it doesn't have the bottom row of cubbies for galoshes. This one is intended for toddlers. Also, it doesn't have a toe-kick which means it might not level as easily.
$203.13
I almost love it, but we would need to elevate it and we still get less storage because it doesn't have the top row of cubbies.

OPTION D - "the Big'un"
5 Units wide - it fits but would be about 4 inches forward of the wall because of a pipe.
$284.88
This would be the obvious choice if not for the steam pipe running up the right side of the wall. With the pipe, it probably ends up being too big.
