Could this be used as a gun cabinet with storage for hunting clothes?

As a "gun guy" myself, I would say "no". From a configuration perspective, yea, that would work. You'd think that shotguns could stack on one side, waders, Carharts, etc. could hang on the other, and shells and cleaning supplies, gloves, etc. could go in the drawer, right? I know where you're coming from. ...but now. This is a fine piece of el-cheap-o "particle-board-with-wallpaper-that-looks-like-wood" furniture, and it's appropriately cheap. It's fine for hanging some clothes in, especially if they're seldom used, to make up for a lack of closet space. It's flimsy, floppy, unstable thing, though. I would never consider trying to use it as a gun cabinet, though. Guns, gear, and hunting/cold-weather clothes are just too heavy-duty for this. Take your dress shirts out of the closet (we never wear those anyway, right?), put them in here, and use your "real" closet for your hunting stuff. ;-)

I don't think so, its designed for the arrows to be stored on the top cover. I don't think you'd have clearance.

I wouldn't use it to ship my gun. I think you might have a case to visit a local gun store to see what they recommend.

If u have long guns, rifles, there is not really room for more shelves. Everything barely fits in it right now. We have 6 long guns and 2 hand guns. The top shelf is used just for amo. We had to get a smaller safe for the little guns.

Sir,I don't think so. I put a "hunting" rifle in mine last weekend for a drive to camp and I did not think is was a good fit. Too short, and very big around so the rifle was not very snug, and no way to adjust that. It works great for the paramilitary with scope/magazine/pistol grip filling up the space.

Yeah, I think so! I just went and measured mine and taking the plush liner into account, it had a depth of over 12" with the door closed. Also, there is a removable shelf so if you ran into space issues, you could take the shelf out and lay your two firearms in there so they would fit.

You can, but it might be a bit wobbly. Cabinets using this type of construction typically rely on the back panel for horizontal stability. There's a 2 inch gap along the top that allows some airflow for things on the upper shelves.

The shelves help to add rigidity to the cabinet, so it may not be a good idea to remove them. This unit comes in parts as you are aware, so assembly is required. You might be better off with the Stack-On GC-908-5, 8 gun cabinet that is designed for rifles or shotguns up to 43 or 44 inches overall length. It also has a single shelf and a barrel rest with stand-off positions for scoped firearms. For a longer length firearm, look for a taller cabinet on the Stack-On site.

I have ours in the loft and store it vertically when not in use, so I think storing it in a closet would be doable.

I'm not certain but it appears that it would work only if you removed one of the 2 removable shelves from the cabinet you're referring to. Without removing a shelf, the pistol rack itself would fit but it doesn't look like there would be room to place guns in it. So yes, at the loss of a shelf.

As promised, I tried when I got home. It is too small to fit a shotgun (even a short barreled shotgun) or a rifle. If you were to take all the shelves out, you could probably get something in on a diagonal, but that would be pretty wasteful of a safe - you need a TALLER safe.

Yes It would be a great place to store your yarns and needles as well. I store my sewing stuff in mine.

You could use it that way as long as the contents aren't over 10.5" tall. That's the space afforded due to a shelf in the middle of the cabinet.

This cupboard would not work for storing long items. It is designed to be more of a pantry type cabinet. There are two moveable shelves for the top section. There are two fixed shelves in the unit.

Use gun socks in these types of gun cabinets. Will protect your rifles much better, especially in case of an earthquake.

Unlikely. The internal height is 37". It's much shorter than a typical gun safe.

Yes, I think that could work. It would just depend on the thickness of the cabinet.
