I live in a very dusty environment (southern Nevada) to in order to keep all that sticky dust off my fabric, I keep my fabrics in clear bins with tops. They are sturdy enough to stack, which I do, and I don't think they're difficult to peruse. Of course, I have all of my fabric separated by color, so I know when to look in the "warm" bin, or the "cool" bin, or the brown and yellow bin, etc. It works for me!
