I couldn't tell from the pic, are they steel or wood?  I'm not sure if it's addressed in fire code but steel cabinets could be great for returning books to the basement.  I have long worried about too many books being next to the shop and electronics benches, so this could solve in situ or as part of a relocation.

I'm trying not to just see future potential rat nests, but... yeah :/

 

Open metal wire shelving is preferred for visibility and cleanability. Closing doors breed the kind of "out of sight out of mind" storage sudo is trying to move away from.

 

Hrm. I'm not sure I agree. The open shelving attracts a ton of dust. I don't think CCL has had any rat issues in their closed storage. It's the piles of unsorted stuff and things like the harry potter closet that's the problem.

 

Yeah, rodent-wise I would agree with Marc. A closed metal cabinet is pretty rodent-proof. On the other hand, our open racks along the wall in CCL provide quite the highway for travel of many little paws...

As for clutter - not convinced that clutter accumulates any faster when it is hidden. It's definitely more of an eyesore if everything is out in the open, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll get cleaned up any sooner...
