    Ideas for a shallow blank wall for storage

    I've got a small office and the back wall is a waste of space and I'm wanting some storage in there, problem is it's about ~120cm wide but only ~35cm deep until it meets a door frame, ceilings are about 290cm so its a lot of space, just awkward.

    I originally was thinking kitchen units but getting ~30cm deep units is tricky and it's mostly plasterboard so something where the weight is mainly taken on the floor makes more sense.
    I'd like something like this https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/besta-w...eer-s89421969/ but I'd need to get 2 for width and 2 to make use of the height - I'm not spending nearly £700 though! I also kinda like old school metal cabinets/lockers, I've seen some but they're either crazy prices, too deep or boring.

    Has anyone seen anything decent that might work?

    Cheers interior desginers!

    +1 for kallax. I've got loads of it in my office, you can get different fronts/drawer inserts/baskets etc too. It's slightly deeper than 30cm - 40cm iirc, so you'd not be able to go right up to your door frame.

    When we moved we've actually got rid of many, many kallax and dronas that we had in the old house. I'm looking for something a bit more cupboardy
