how big is the closet? Deep?

it's probably about five feet deep and regular with. but, of course has the slanted ceiling.

good thing is the kids are small enough to get into the back...


currently they have shelves on teh left side, but b/c it goes so deep getting to the back part of the shelf is not simple. i am clueless...

Is this in a basement or main floor?

I have seen people open the sides of the stairs and have access on both sides, instead of entering from the "front".

does this make sense. You could do open shelving or build doors and make cabinets.

Not sure if this would work with your home's layout but its a great way to access all the under stair space.
