I saw (on this Board) a picture a few years back about using the large entertainment units for quilts. I went on Craigslist and found a beautiful one with glass doors and two drawers underneath. It's in my LR now filled with lovely vintage quilts. I have a huge entertainment unit in my family room now that we are converting to a quilting room and that huge old thing will store quilt tops and backing. If you want it to be open, just remove the doors. I like the doors on mine, though there is an open space that I do fill. I just make sure nothing is in sunlight.
