Measure the contents as stored
Record bedding and towels when folded or packed, then separate everyday linen from seasonal items. Bulky covers need different compartments from small towels. Review the cabinet location for persistent moisture sources, and allow shelves to be cleaned and contents inspected without unloading the whole unit.
Compare the design options
Use these options to discuss the configuration that fits the room and its intended use. Review dimensions and details against the actual material and hardware selected in the drawing.
