Things never got put back (so it was messy despite all the bins) and I found myself buying new material instead. Now I use wire baskets and shelves in a 36" wide tall cabinet and a cutting table with drawers that holds fabric folded on little bolts. It holds the same as 20 linear feet of bookshelves - plus it has a large drawer that currently holds 2 crib sized & 2 queen sized warm and natural battings. That and a few other baskets are working very nicely for me - I know were everything, I can see what I am looking for without opening and lifting.
That looks so neat and easy to get at.
