but, be aware of weight. I put all of my fabric in shallow plastic boxes with lids but they are 16"wide about 24" long. they are too heavy when full for me to pull out & lift to the table which is only 18" away. they are stacked two deep, so there is the extra trouble if you want the bottom one. I am in the process of buying bins about half as long. will be two deep, but at least I can lift them out. and it will be hard to see colors. but the shelves I have are there & what I have to use. folding over a ruler really helps to smooth fabric out
and uniform size.
