Spanish term or phrase: ALTILLO TERMINAL ZAPATERO
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.

Above closet shoe organizer


Explanation:
"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.
