        The key is to have the shelves be closed at the front, so stuff doesn't tumble out. Sorta like drawers, but without the sliding-out part -- you'd reach in above and pull stuff out. I don't know -- I'd have to see it. Definitely not pull-out shelves.

      I may make it out of here on time. Home ~7:15pm.
