You conjure a shimmering door in range that lasts for the duration. The door leads to an extradimensional dwelling and is 5 feet wide and 10 feet tall. You and any creature you designate when you cast the spell can enter the extradimensional dwelling as long as the door remains open. You can open or close it (no action required) if you are within 30 feet of it. While closed, the door is imperceptible.
Beyond the door is a magnificent foyer with numerous chambers beyond. The dwelling’s atmosphere is clean, fresh, and warm.
You can create any floor plan you like for the dwelling, but it can’t exceed 50 contiguous 10-foot Cubes. The place is furnished and decorated as you choose. It contains sufficient food to serve a nine-course banquet for up to 100 people. Furnishings and other objects created by this spell dissipate into smoke if removed from it.
A staff of 100 near-transparent servants attends all who enter. You determine the appearance of these servants and their attire. They are invulnerable and obey your commands. Each servant can perform tasks that a human could perform, but they can’t attack or take any action that would directly harm another creature. Thus the servants can fetch things, clean, mend, fold clothes, light fires, serve food, pour wine, and so on. The servants can’t leave the dwelling.
When the spell ends, any creatures or objects left inside the extradimensional space are expelled into the unoccupied spaces nearest to the entrance.

Can the servants have tool proficiencies to help reduce crafting time?
that would depend on the DM, but i don't see why the servants wouldn't know what the caster knows, with regards to tool proficiency.
''Each servant can perform tasks that a human could perform, but they can’t attack or take any action that would directly harm another creature''
- making arrows or assisting in creating spell scrolls neither attacks nor harms any creature directly.
''Thus the servants can fetch things, clean, mend, fold clothes, light fires, serve food, pour wine, and so on.''
- the wording ''and so on'' gives the caster a free license to do with the servants as they like, as they are not strictly limited to ''fetch things, clean, mend, fold clothes, light fires, serve food, pour wine''/
''You can create any floor plan you like for the dwelling''
- nothing in the spell description declares that a workshop couldn't be included within the mansion, in fact it encourages creativity in what each mansion contains!
and let's be real for a second here, IT'S A 7TH LEVEL SPELL, it's 2 steps away from being the pinnacle of spell craft, why wouldn't a spell that aids in crafting not exist at this point?
I would say probably but not much.
1. It says servants which implies nonskilled workers.
2. It only last 24hr so unless you want to be constantly carting in and out all the raw martials it's not as time saving as you think. Since while you maybe able to create the workshop and tools everything created by the spell can't leave.
3. By the time you get this spell you have Fabricate and can most likely create anything the servants can.
I wish they'd gotten rid of the size constraint for this or at least made it a good bit bigger. 50 10x10x10 cubes ends up not being all that much if you want to have an upstairs and a downstairs, and then maybe a large banquet hall with ceilings even 30 ft high. If you picture a 1500 square foot house with an upstairs, a main floor and a basement that's how much space this gives you. And I don't think I'd want to have 100 servants in a space that size, let alone 100 servants and 100 people I'm feeding a 9 course banquet to! A 1500 square foot house isn't quite what I would consider a mansion, and not something that seems like a necessary constraint for a 7th level spell?
I know most DMs, myself included, will probably just ignore the size constraint and not map out the specific floor plan it just seems odd to have that constraint.
A 10x10 is 100 square foot, times 50 is 5000 square foot. That is roughy 450 square meters. I'd say it's a very badass mansion with capability of ALOT of rooms.
3 meter high ceilings are already above standard as normal housing by 30cm.
That said. since there are 100 servants roaming around the mansion (and maybe 100 guests), that should feel crowded even for a 450 square meter house. As a DM I'd rule whatever the player depicts in his mind regardless of the restrictions.
This’ll be my bastion.
Can the door be moved? Or reopened from another location?
Nope, stays where it was when it was cast
If the door is open, can creatures not designated by the spell see into the door/mansion? And if they try to walk in, do they bounce off, as if walking into a wall?
Question: How does storage work in this space?
While the spell is active, it's the interior of a mansion. this can include closets, dressers, wardrobes, chests, etc. but once the spell ends, anything/anyone that was brought into the mansion (and is still inside when the spell ends) is unceremoniously dumped on the ground around the space where the portal was.
