I built this shoe box for my granddaughter. It is made from 5/8 " Baltic birch plywood. The back panel is 1/2" Baltic birch. The corners are lock mitered and I added 3 gussets to support the wide shelves and the top in case someone sits on it. It measures 19" x 48" x 12" deep and is finished with semi gloss acrylic enamel.

Well done! "In case someone sits on it"? My wife bought and had one of my sons assemble a particle board shoe rack while I was working out of state. I bet yours was less expensive, and stronger and better, "to boot".
