Which dimensions are you talking about ... the height to depth? The
Golden Ratio is about 1.618, or about 8-to-5.

Shoe Shelf or Shoe rack (Take your pick)

SWMBO wanted a shelf to store shoes - so I made her one. It uses four
pieces of wood.

It's on this page.

You should be able to deduce the approximate dimensions, but to give you
a start, the width is 10.5 inches. Form that you should be able to work
out the rest of the dimensions, the placement and dimensions of the cut
outs, and the angles. Just alter the dimensions to match _your_ shoe
sizes and styles.

The cutouts at the top allow you to easily move it for cleaning floors.
The bottom cutouts allow you to cope with minor imperfections in the floor.

So for those of you who wondered about some of the weird threads on
design ratios and proportions, you can see for yourself if you like the
results.
