It just looks, in the pictures, like that would make good shoe shelving, but still leave a wider area open to the side. It's hard to tell from just pictures, so I'm just asking the dumb questions - I think that's my mission in life when it comes to woodworking :) Well, I wasn’t suggesting that the opening only be in the front – but instead of having the entire front be solid (in effect having two layers of wood there) that the outside front corner of the shelving be supported by a pillar and thus leaving it open to the front and the side.

Would it have been "sturdy" enough to just put a corner post in that front corner and leave 2 sides of the shelves open? Is the new owner going to be surprised at how much extra floor space this will take over "traditional" construction? 2 thoughts.

Is the new owner going to be surprised at how much extra floor space this will take over “traditional” construction?

There are locks that are most secure, and lock from both sides with a key. Secret is multiple tublers. Steel door good and the old fashion bars across the doors??? better. Remember to reinforce your deadbolts. Times are tough, values are changing. Have nots and there are many see what others have? I was in army security.
