I have done a couple of these now for friends and just sharing the idea. It’s a nice little DIY project that you can store a lot of gear in and it is unlimited in what you can do. Pretty inexpensive, you may already have the cabinet at home.
When flat screen / flat panel TVs came along some people got rid of their “entertainment centers”. Many are furniture quality. I’ve bought several in thrift shops for under $25. Being furniture quality they can blend in different rooms.
They are all types of configurations and with some hardware store add ons you can set up the way you want. You can add locking gun storage if you want or add locks to the cabinet itself.
Lighting can be as simple as battery powered, motion detector lights. Peg board can be added to an interior wall and braced from the outside. White boards, chalk boards, eye hooks, cup hooks, pull out drawers, hanging rods offer multiple storage options. Hooks can be added to the outside to hang hats, jackets and other items from. Most have electrical hook ups on the inside.
It can be a nice weekend project that repurposes a large and sometimes expensive piece.
Have fun.

) and my wife's head would spin around like Linda Blair in The Exorcist if I even suggested that one of those would look fine anywhere in "her house" (my house only consists of my room-man cave & my bath room). The other 3 bedrooms, two huge living rooms, master bath, 3rd bathroom, huge kitchen any professional chef would be proud of are all hers. If you married guys get my drift.
