my fabric is stored on shelves, dust is my main concern, but I decided to go to Walmart and get the clear plastic sewing machine covers, they're only a couple of dollars and I can still see my fabric, easy on easy off, regretfully my walmart is out right now, I store my scraps by color group in the zippered bags that curtains and sheets come in. I have them hanging from cup hooks under the last shelf (they already come with a little hanger attached)
