have you thought of turning them upside down ( if the drawers will flip too)? then the baskets would be just under the surface. I have my home made big board ironing surface on top of stacked totes, 3,2, 3 . the cubby formed in the center by the 2 totes is a great shelf for pressing tools. Also, a really neat idea I saw somewhere , make a hammock for your hanging fabric! glue Velcro under the lip on the back of your table, sew up a muslin "sling" with Velcro to match on one edge then a hanging sleeve on the opposite edge, insert a dowel and hang the dowel on café curtain hooks on the wall in back. The table can still be pushed snug against the wall when not pressing and if something does fall behind just unhook the rod and pull the hammock /sling towards you, the item rolls out! I need one of these!
