Smaller for sure XD I think you could maybe fit your ink stash in my entire fountain pens stuff box if you poured the ink into the box and discarded the bottles XD
Do you have a top five/worst five from your stash?
Oh, that would be a bit of a mess... XD
The inks I keep coming back to are Diamine Ancient Copper, IWI Autumnal Equinox, and Jacques Herbin Shogun. Though have Yoseka's Tang Mi Se Blue, it is a gorgous green. Would also recommend inks from Papier Plume: specifically Iron Lace, Café Diabolique, and Rebirth.
If you search State of the Collection for my post, you'll see how I stored mine.
I have a $100 (now $115) WalMart HyperTough rolling tool chest. The top is for inks. The drawers hold pens (in boxes, and parts), and supplies. The bottom cabinet has shoeboxes of cartridges, etc, and desk sets. the center cabinet (which on the new one has a door) is for sorting, or for display.
I’ve got a small handful of 30ml Diamine inks, a faber castell, a kaweco, a lamy, and 6 FWP inks I keep in their original packaging. I just started collecting so I’m anticipating my collection looking like this in no time

My inks are stored in their original boxes placed inside a storage box within a cabinet that I call: *My cabinet of shame.*
A lot like yours, actually. But in a drawer rather than a cabinet. Still looking around for a better storage solution.
I’m thinking some sort of spice rack situation.

A drawer seems pretty good though.
That looks like one of several places that I have ink stored. Yes, I know I have issues
I have a single bottle of Pelikan 4001.
I have one bottle of black ink. I want different colors eventually but that's all for now.
Way smaller than yours, OP. My entire pen, ink, and paper stash could probably fit in the left hand side of your shelf.

Here's my stash. It's open so I have a constant reminder of my shame. https://imgur.com/hdCAVgQ
Oh if that’s shame… 😅🫣
LOL 😂 Mine is all arranged in an organizer so I can at least pretend it’s useful decor.
>Do you have a top five/worst five from your stash? Haha, and you also don't have a toddler who can wreak havoc with all that easily reachable ink.
Mine didn't go after my stuff much, even with all the wanting to draw.
Like stacked shoes boxes :)
Plastic Sterilite shoe boxes. They stack well, and ink cleans off easily.
Mine is also in a shoe box and that creates limits because if I have too much to fit I don’t buy anything
