I don't want to spend anymore than 200! Thanks :)
I bought a cart very similar to the one at JoAnn's at Sam's Club for $30. Love it, and it would work very well for storage of cutter, miscellaneous items, and patterns. In my opinion it would not be great for fabric storage.
What I like for fabric storage are boxes I found at WalMart. The ones I like have blue flip-up squarish handles to hold the cover on, and are see-thru plastic (instead of translucent, which makes it harder to see what is inside). These boxes come in many different sizes. I would recommend avoiding the biggest one for fabric because it will become too heavy. My favorites are the two middle sizes; the smaller one for UFOs and the slightly deeper one for groupings of fabric colors. Both of these, even though the same size, are $4 each. A nice feature is that all of the sizes stack on top of each other, so stacks are very stable.
Edit: I saw that storage table at Ikea and it would be wonderful, but you have to have the space for it. If you are looking, it was in the kitchen area -- designed as a center island workspace with lots of storage drawers.
The one I was thinking of, was cube like .. about table height maybe a little shorter, and only about 24" square. I don't think it'd be as large as 30"
