A shared entrance fails when every person drops a different item into the same narrow strip of floor. The useful question is not how much storage can fit. It is which daily belongings deserve space at the door and how the family can return them without blocking the route.
Measure the door swing, clear walking width, baseboards, switches, and the deepest object you plan to store. Choose only methods that solve a repeated problem in your home. A shallow system with spare capacity will serve a family better than a larger piece that turns every arrival into an obstacle.
