Its full of shelves and holds a lot of stuff. Double doors, lockable handle (although anyone with a screwdriver could open it) I may add some very small shallow drawers to hold all the little stuff that is currently shoved to the back in piles. Its the kind of cabinet that might be used ot hold office supplies. They are made by many manufacturers in various levels of quality so you should be able to find one to fit your budget and tastes.
