Shoe thing looks like this:

The folding stepstool tucks in next to that. (You could put your broom in there.) On the other side of the drawer unit, there are hooks for the dog leash, baseball caps, etc.
Above the drawer unit is a bar hung high for jackets.
To the right of the drawer unit is a bar hung at normal height for jackets and longer coats. Above that there are two shelves, the lower one with a lip in front (to keep things from falling off). Then there is a high shelf for rarely-used items.
It all works better than it used to. Not perfect (what would be, given the small size?), but a vast improvement.
OP here. Are your dimensions the same as ours? The Elfa designer seemed adamant that the closet couldn't fit any drawers, which is what I really wanted.
Yes, exactly the same. 48" wide by 24" deep. Ours has sliding doors.
Ours could not accommodate built-in/mounted drawers, but this unit fits in there fine.

If you live in the Silver Spring area, you are welcome to come see my closets!
I would ask for a different designer.

OP here. I went to Container Store and did an elfa design. Not too many options with such a small space, but we can put a track on the back of the door to hold baskets for gloves etc and they can lower the bar to put two shelves above it. I'm not 100% convinced it will help much more, especially since the designer said that the baskets may squish the coats and it might not close but we can always try I guess. And it will finally get me to get rid of some coats in there we rarely wear.
