Storage Cabinets — Expert Answer
Is open shelving or a closed storage cabinet better for a storeroom?
Open shelving in a storeroom provides: faster access (no door to open/close); easier visual inventory (everything is visible at a glance); lower cost per linear foot of storage; and easier accommodation of large or odd-shaped items. Closed cabinets provide: protection from dust; a cleaner, more professional appearance; security via locking doors; and better protection for moisture-sensitive items. For a high-volume supply room accessed frequently throughout the day by many employees, open industrial shelving is often more practical. For smaller office storage areas visible to clients or the general office, closed-door cabinets are preferable aesthetically and for security.
