Depending on the height of the fastening, such a shelf can replace the place for shoes or console, and may also be a spacious mezzanine for storing seasonal shoes and things.

The idea to lift the floor and building the podium is very good, for example, for children's rooms. In the podium there may be several branches for storing toys, books and other children's things.
