My room is set up so I do have to get up and move. Too much sitting can become a problem. My work stations are at different heights but comfortable. The comic book boards only take up as much space as they do in the package. They aren't that thick. If you use small cubicle spaces then you may consider measuring that space and fold accordingly. the idea of measuring your room and furniture and putting on graph paper is excellent. I have a very lit up room. It sees the morning light most of the day so most of my stash is stored in a huge cabinet my husband made. It's 6'x 3'x 2'. The shelving space is between 13" and 14 1/2" in height. I have easy access to everything and all is marked or visible because of the clear storage containers. When you go to the fabric shop and even WAlmart ask if you can have their leftover empty bolt boards. The less they have to carry back the happier they are. Therefore you can wrap the larger yardage.
