In my room in my house there is an outset closet I believe and I want to know if the walls are structural because I cannot determine if they are myself I'll take a picture and post it and let me know if you can help me figure this out.

Short walls are usually not load bearing, unless something heavy is above them. A series of short walls with doorways/openings in a straight line might be load bearing and need more checking. Is there a beam/wall under the floor supporting the short wall? – crip659 Jul 19 '23 at 17:22

It might be outset because the behind/back wall of the closet is load bearing. Adding doors to it would need a beam/bigger header over the doors. – crip659 Jul 19 '23 at 19:14
