I did some rearranging yesterday. Had bolts I picked up from Walmart in fabric. Friendly with the cutters there. They had 5 bolt boards in cart ready to take to the back. Let me have them all. I hate fabric on the floor and really have no other place to put them but on shelves. I split the boards lengthwise so they would be thinner. Worked better than I thought. I use the comic boards and I don't believe they take up that much space. It all depends on your space and what works for you.
