Modular stackable storage device

Abstract

A modular, stackable shoe storage device comprising a rotating interior shelving design with adjustable and removable shelves and an exterior cabinet enclosure. An interior frame comprises an upper disc and lower disc mounted on a central support pole. Support pole may be configured to fit into receiving holes in lower disc and upper disc. The lower disc may be attached to a swivel mechanism that may enable the interior frame to rotate 360 degrees. Vertical dividers are mounted to upper disc and lower disc around support pole in a spoke pattern to divide the space between upper disc and lower disc and to support shelves. Removable wedge-shaped shelves comprising “keyhole” slots that may be placed over pegs on vertical dividers so that shelves form horizontal platforms on which shoes may be stored. The exterior cabinet surrounds the rotating interior frame.
