I am in Walnut Grove (near Gadsden/Boaz area). My daughter lived in Graceville, Fl and was Concert Mistress for the Dothan Symphony Orchestra several years ago. Nice area.

I have one of those three high and I found it will not carry much weight, so I store my leftover batting in it. And if I want to do a craft show, the rack is not hard to empty, take apart, and put in my car.

Lay them on their sides either together or separated. This way, you will multiply the surfaces for storing/stacking. If two boxes are separated and space about 12" apart, you can store in the two boxes and in between plus on top. A third box can be placed over the 12" space for more space. -- Lucky you for your wonderful find!!!
I live in PA also. In Port Royal, right in the center of the state.

I have sets of these racks that I keep all my fabrics in. Each cube holds a different color and its easy to find what I'm looking for. The good thing about these is you can arrange the cubes any way you want to fit your space. I've had them so full of fabrics it was hard to get them out and I never had them colapse. Just make sure they are firmly pushed into the round holders.

I also have a similar one (3x3). It has some fabrics, books on top (had to use a board for the books to set better), also have my UFO's, PIG's, and PHD's setting in the cubbies, That way they are in-sight instead of out of sight out of mind!

I have something very similar and use it for UFOs that I've already put into smaller shoebox-size bins.
