Building a semi-stealth grow closet

Hi guys
I have the inexpensive IKEA cabinet that I would like to turn into a grow cabinet. The size is perfect for the shoe-box tubs (12qt) that I use.

I'm gonna replace the shelves with some wire shelves and add in some light.
Would this work? Is there anything I need to worry about? I know it's a little tight, so I could install a little fan and even drill some holes to increase the air flow.
Would love some input / tips for this little project

I use a wardrobe and a cedar closet with holes cut in the back and fans plus filters across the doors because my bedroom is carpet. Works great. I run 8 32qt tubs 9 20qt and 4 12qt. When the doors are shut if I turn off the lights and fans you can't even tell.

This is super helpful. Any chance you have pictures of your setup? Interested in seeing your filter solution.

I bought a fan 120mm fan that i'm planning to install. I honestly don't know much about airflow, but I assume it's kinda the same as in a computer? I was thinking of installing it on the side, at the top and then cut some holes for a filter in the bottom.
Does that sound about right?

idk how it's actually gonna work though. You don't have much head space for the actual mushrooms to grow. Usually a shoebox has a second bottom or bag thrown on top. A larger cabinet with bigger shelfs would make a bit more sense.

Yeah, I might take out a shelf if that’s the case. Mostly wondering if it’s too crammed and if there is enough airflow.

Looks good to me. Just fan them for a few seconds a couple of times a day and you should be golden!

A little update. I bought a Husky metal cabinet, installed some wired shelfs and added some mylar fabric to the sides. The lights are temporary for now. I'm getting bigger lights later this week.
I've come across this fan system on Amazon. A thermostat can be added so the speed and temp can be controlled. Is that goin to be a complete overkill? I
This is the fan. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009CO543S/ref=emc_b_5_t#
