Spanish term

ALTILLO TERMINAL ZAPATERO

Spanish to English Marketing Furniture / Household Appliances WARDROBES ETC
SPAIN: I have seen these on google images but don't really understand what the "terminal" part refers to or how we say it in English. As far as I know, "altillo" is a storage cupboard or area, usually above a wardboard and "zapatero" means it's for shoes. No more context because it's from a list.

Thank you neilmac.

Supongo que el "Altillo" significa que esta encima de algun mueble, o escritorio y que "Terminal" indica su posicion en el diseno.

lo que he encontrado para "terminal zapatero" es que es un closet de zapatos con puerta que se encuentra al final de los modulos y tiene un esquinero para decoracion, como el que se puede ver en el vinculo a continuacion.

Above closet shoe organizer

"Terminal" in this case I think it refers to being on one end of the closet, in a space that otherwise would just be a flat board, so they finish it up adding a shoe organizer, to maximize space usage. Since in your case it also mentions "altillo", I imagine the shoe organizer is just the upper part of that end-piece of the closet/wardrobe. That's my best guess.

Note from asker:
Great explanation, very helpful, cheers :-)
