Isn't this just perfect for fabric?
#44
I bought a CD shelf last year at our local computer store, it is much smaller then the one at Ikea, but it is perfect for the fat quarters, it is the first thing I see when I walk into my sewing room, I always enjoy seeing all the colors,I have the different colors stacked together so I can see what I have available,
go for it and enjoy
go for it and enjoy

I have started to shop on Craigs List for used furniture to store fabrics- and other stuff- in.
I have been fortunate to find 3 "curios" of wood with glass doors to display and store so much of my "stuff". Each was well under $100.

Yours look deeper than the cd width ones, so I was curious how deep the shelves are.
