I have a bookshelf with only one inner shelf that is 5′ tall. So, I added bicycle hooks to the inside of the top to hold my kids’ backpacks.

The shelf holds a basket for my kids to put their folders or anything else that “I” need to deal with.

The bottom shelf is for their school shoes.

The top has our “out the door” basket for dvd’s, books, returns, etc…..

All of this is thanks to you and your tips. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We don’t have closets in our house or anywhere hidden, so this although “visible” greatly serves our needs. Our house is only 546sqft and we have 7 people living here.

Ok, now here’s a big request… I run a dayhome (so I have 8 backpacks to deal with) and I am looking for hooks or something similar that can hang off of our bannister at the front entrance… aside from making up something myself – does anyone have any ideas? I don’t want it to be permanent and don’t want it to wreck the paint on the railing… any ideas are greatly appreciated!!

I converted a coat closet into a "mud room" for my kids and each has a shelf. But the backpacks take up all the room on the shelves. This is perfect, because it will keep the packs on the door next to their shelves but out of the way.

And how can you beat the price, with no extra shipping charges to boot!

Thanks for the great tip!

I LOVE this! What a great find.
I have an old buffet/sideboard that has cupboards where the kids are supposed to put their backpacks. They usually end up on the floor. This looks like it would be an easier solution for them. And I can’t believe the price! Thanx for the great find!

I’ve done something similar I put sticky hook things on the inside of our entry way door one for each child,=2. So we have a place for them.

This is awesome and LOVE that site! However, it is frustrating because they don’t ship to Canada….do you have any good online shopping organizing stores that do ship to Canada?

Oh, I love this! I never thought about having a backpack station before but now that I’ve seen one I’m definitely going to make one. I will put big hooks on a tiny wall I have in the entrance, that will be the perfect place for them. No more running around like crazy trying to find that missing backpack or tripping on one when going to the bathroom at night.

Thanks for the tip!

I love that! I was thinking of getting a shelving unit with one shelf and basket for each family member.

I love that backpack hook! I’ve got small hooks in the corner of our “mudroom” but the big bulky backpacks are posing a problem. This is my answer (provided my girls cooperate and use the hooks!)
