Newby cheese cave question: Any reason I shouldn't use this?

Hiya. I'm new to cheese making. I've made 3 Creamy Lancashires which will be eaten young at Christmas.
I'm after getting a cheese cave set up for Christmas. Is there any reason this wouldn't work?

I was thinking I'd sort out humidity by trail and error with a probe hydrometer/thermometer and a bowl of salty water. It's a bit small but somewhere to start. Any objections anyone? Thanks.

It will be too small Immediately! You'll be wishing you had more space. I can't tell you if the temp and humidity will work. Most frisbee won't stay warm enough for cheese aging. The controls don't offer that option.

I know it'll be too small but I'm in a tiny house and trying to ease my partner into the idea easy
It has a temp range 5-15C (41-59F) on a 5 setting thermostat and is on ebay for next to nothing at the moment so I think I'll still give it a go if it stays cheap. It's currently on for less than Id pay for the shelves so it might be worth a punt. Thanks
