Storage room

In businesses, the storage is a place where the employees can put their goods and then take them out when the store starts to become empty or when there is a high demand.

A storage room can be lockable, and can be located in a housing unit or a common area, indoors or outdoors.

[1] Sheds, garages and other storage rooms can become overcrowded and cluttered with items that are not in use, or old scrap that has neither been thrown away nor repaired yet, things that one is unable to get rid of or have big plans for.

The value of the mess is often small, especially if the people who live there have a compulsive hoarding problem and if the objects are stored in such a way that the condition becomes very poor.

The TV program American Pickers[2] is a show where the hosts go through old collections in search of valuable antiques.
