I dont have a beef necessarily...i frankly get tired of looking at them. Like another poster said...maybe they remind me of the many projects I want to get done, start, finish, whatever. Purging makes sense I guess.

I really like mine with drawers, they keep everything organized.

It's a good thing we are all different, I guess.

I have a small room so have the small plastic drawers with labels saying what colors are inside. I have a tendency to be messy in my room so having things in drawers is a good thing for me.

I won't be getting rid of mine...but would love it if I had the room and storage to store my fabric where I could see it.

I just recently bought more drawers to organize my yarn in. I like that you can see at a glance what's inside.

I love my clear plastic storage bins. I have shoe box sizes, tall skinny ones, big flat ones meant for under the bed, a myriad of different sized ones with drawers. I love being able to SEE what's in them. And I love that they are so portable and infinitely rearrangeable (is that a word?) I keep them neatly stacked and even if the stuff inside them is not so organized, at least it looks that way! Now of course my dream sewing room would probably have floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall cherry cabinets with leaded glass doors, a mini-bar and room service, but I live and sew in the real world and I like my Sterlite. You can send me your empty bins...

I love mine. I have a few really big ones, many medium sized ones and lots of small ones. I sort fabric by color and also have bins for particular sized strips and squares. I also use one for leftover bindings and several for leftover triangles, blocks etc that can be used in scrappy backs. I have shelving in my fabric closets and the bins stack nicely so it looks organized and tidy.

i don't use the bins to store my stuff, but i do use the stacking drawer sets.
they are just clear enough to see what's inside, but also protect the fabs from light damage.
they keep everything clean.

i use most of the drawers to store fabrics and supplies.
i use some of the drawers to keep individual projects together.
some for tops waiting to be sammiched for quilting.

now if i could only keep the contents properly organized ... LOL

I'm with Scraplady, until the wall-to-wall cherry cabinets with leaded glass doors come along, just step away from my plastic bins and no one gets hurt!!!
