A figure that would settle a word

Capacity in pairs, drawers and tiers

Print a word it would settle

Twenty-one listings print capacity in pairs, drawers and tiers (21); two listings print a word or phrase it would settle (2).

A count of what the piece holds or how it divides: pairs of shoes on a rack, drawers in a dresser, tiers or cubes in a bookcase.

For a shoe rack this page counts pairs, not tiers. The tier count is already in every rack title, and it does not say how many shoes a tier takes. The pair counts that do appear are ranges or floors: 16 to 20 pairs, 12 or more pairs, 6 to 9 pairs.

The site does not turn pairs, drawers or tiers into weight, volume or anything else. A drawer count is a drawer count.

The words this figure would settle turn up rarely: large-capacity on a Kitsure rack and large storage on a Sweetcrispy dresser. The Kitsure listing gives tiers and a width and no pair count.

Dressers are counted by drawers, and every dresser title prints the number. A couple of listings call them bins in the description; the site counts a bin as a drawer when the title does.

Counted only in the categories where at least one listing counts its storage in pairs, tiers, cubes or drawers. A shoe rack counts as stating it only when it prints pairs.
