"There were many nice, stackable shelving systems in IKEA catalogues in the '70s. Back then, things were stackable to make assembly easier, not to make every day life easier. The new, stackable storage is designed instead to suit our lives. IKEA PS 2012 bench/shoe storage can be adapted for life with small children or life as a pensioner, and can be expanded both vertically and horizontally. You decide whether you want to use just one, or put several together in any way you like. Each is both a shoe shelf and a bench in one."
