Design Analysis of a Manufactured Product

Aesthetics
This shoe rack is made of quality wood. This is a simple yet modern design which
isn’t popular.

Functionality
The shoe rack was designed to look good, feel comfortable and to have a
compartment to store items.

Economics
Shoe racks are all over. They are made to store foot wear but not all shoe racks are
made with seats and compartments. Every household has at least 1 shoe rack or
more.
Environment
Most shoe racks are made of wood which is extracted from trees and then the wood
becomes a byproduct of the trees.

Ergonomics
Shoe racks are generally made of high-quality wood. Shoe racks made of wood can
last a long time. They take a long time to rot and decay as a result of the wood used
or the finishing product applied. The first sign that a shoe rack has begun to
damage would be signs of rotting or termites.

Decoration
Shoe racks are generally square and not many have seats or compartments. It just
depends on what the person prefers.

Selection of Material
Shoe racks are meant to look good and to store foot wear therefore material
selection is important. There is a wide variety of wood that can be selected.
