Storage Cabinets — Expert Answer
What storage cabinets are appropriate for retail stockrooms or back-of-house areas?
Retail stockrooms and back-of-house areas benefit from heavy-duty commercial storage cabinets with: 16-gauge or heavier steel construction; shelves rated for 100+ lbs each (for merchandise and bulk supplies); locking doors (to secure stock from employee theft); adjustable shelves on 1"–2" pitch to accommodate products of varying height; and a practical, utilitarian finish (standard gray or putty) that's easy to keep clean. Many retailers use industrial steel shelving open units for maximum visibility and space density, supplemented by locked cabinets for high-value items.
