The first impression
Packaging and contents
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Product sufficiently protected | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | No use of plastic film | 100 points |
| Package contents & scope | individual components of the shoe rack + assembly instructions | 100 points |
| Instructions for use | clearly written in English and with pictures | 90 points |
| Total | 98 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
When we received the Goods+Gadgets® shoe rack, we immediately noticed the careful and product-appropriate packaging. Thanks to the effective product protection, the shoe rack arrived in perfect condition with no scratches or soiling. The environmentally friendly approach of the packaging is particularly pleasing – plastic film was deliberately avoided here, which not only conserves resources but also protects the product from possible damage caused by scratches.
The contents of the packaging are well structured and clearly laid out. All individual parts of the shoe rack are supplied together with clear assembly instructions. The instructions themselves are only written in English and impress with their pictorial representation, which makes assembly an intuitive process and minimizes language barriers.
The first time in your hand
Product processing and appearance
ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the workmanship of the products. How high quality are the materials used? Are the look and feel satisfactory?
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Visual appearance | appealing design | 100 points |
| Processing | good workmanship, but the product sticker is on one of the pieces of tile, which is difficult to remove and damages the tile when it is removed | 80 points |
| Stability | Very stable | 100 points |
| Sustainability of the product | No information on sustainability – however, we assume a high durability due to the materials used + customer satisfaction guarantee | 90 points |
| Total | 93 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
When you first look at the Goods+Gadgets® shoe rack, you immediately notice its appealing design, which can be easily integrated into various interior styles. Only the product sticker on one of the tile fabrics is not ideal, as it is difficult to remove and can damage the tile when removed. This aspect could be optimized.
The overall build quality of the shoe rack is high quality. No manufacturing faults were found, which indicates that the product has been carefully manufactured. The stability of the product is impressive – the shoe rack stands firmly and securely, even when loaded with several pairs of shoes.
The manufacturer does not make any explicit statements about sustainability. However, the use of robust materials and the satisfaction guarantee suggest a long service life. Clearer communication of the ecological aspects would be desirable here.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Assembly | Very easy installation, even by a layman, as it is very intuitive – the pictures in the instructions help enormously here | 100 points |
| Stability and stability | Very stable when some shoes are placed on the shelf – but sometimes wobbly, but this may also be due to the design | 90 points |
| Space requirements and flexibility | Small space requirement and yet high flexibility, as the shoe rack can be easily lifted and rearranged | 100 points |
| Storage space and possible uses | up to 20 instead of 25 shoes possible on the shelf (size 39 & 45) – you can also use fewer rails | 70 points |
| Material quality and robustness | Robust material, fleece can also be simply wiped clean | 100 points |
| Total | 92 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
Our practical test of the Goods+Gadgets® shoe rack shows that the manufacturer delivers what it promises in most respects. Assembly is extremely easy and can be done without any problems even by non-professionals, with the illustrated instructions providing valuable support.
The stability and sturdiness of the shelf is impressive in daily use. If no shoes are placed on the shelf, there may be some slight wobbling , but this can also be due to individual assembly factors .
The shoe rack takes up very little space and yet allows a high degree of flexibility in positioning. The storage capacity is also considerable, even though the specified maximum quantity of 25 pairs of shoes was not reached in our test.
The material quality proves to be hard-wearing and the wipeable tile contributes to easy cleaning. Overall, the practical test confirms most aspects of the manufacturer’s specifications and paints a positive overall picture of the Goods+Gadgets® shoe rack.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
