         6 . The storage device of  claim 5 , wherein when the first face unit is decoupled from the first vertical sidewall and the second face unit is decoupled from the second vertical sidewall the shelf can be removed from the storage device. 
     
     
         7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 . The storage device of  claim 1 , comprising:
 a plurality of compartments, wherein dimensions of each of the compartments is configured to dynamically change by moving the shelf and the projection.   
     
     
         9 . The storage device of  claim 8 , wherein the dimensions of a first compartment are based on a placement of the shelf within the storage device and the projection. 
     
     
         10 . The storage device of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of compartments each have different depths, wherein a first depth of a first compartment is based on placement of a first projection on a first shelf, and a second depth of a second compartment is based on placement of a second projection on a second shelf. 
     
     
         11 . A method of utilizing a storage device comprising:
 positioning a plurality of vertical sidewalls within the storage device, each of the plurality of vertical sidewalls extending from a front end of the storage device to a back end of the storage device, and each of the plurality of vertical sidewalls include a plurality of slots, wherein a first slot positioned on a first vertical sidewall aligns with a second slot positioned on a second vertical sidewall, the front end of the storage device being an open end;   inserting a shelf into the first slot and the second slot, wherein the shelf includes a plurality of orifices positioned through the shelf; and   inserting a projection into a selected one of the plurality of orifices at midpoints of a width of the shelf, the plurality of orifices being positioned at intervals between the front end of the storage device and the back end of the storage device, the projection extending in a direction perpendicular to a linear axis of the shelf, wherein a depth of a compartment is changed responsive to inserting the projection into the selected one of the plurality of orifices.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , comprising:
 aligning a top portion of the shelf and a bottom portion of the shelf with the front end of the storage device in a first mode;   extending the top portion of the shelf away from the first end of the storage device in a second mode.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , comprising:
 securing the bottom portion in a same position in the first mode and the second mode.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , comprising:
 inserting a first rail positioned on the bottom portion into the first slot;   inserting a second rail positioned on the bottom portion into the second rail, wherein a first distance from the first rail to the second rail is greater than a second distance associated with a width of the top portion.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , comprising:
 removably coupling a first face unit to the first vertical sidewall;   removably coupling a second face unit to the second vertical sidewall, wherein when the first face unit and the first vertical sidewall are coupled and the second face unit and the second vertical sidewall are coupled, then the shelf cannot be removed from the storage device.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , comprising:
 decoupling the first face unit from the first vertical sidewall;   decoupling the second face unit from the second vertical sidewall; and   removing the shelf from the storage device.   
     
     
         17 . (canceled) 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11 , comprising:
