I've gone a couple of times (April and May). They keep things manageable by requiring you to make an appointment.
Unlike other distributions I've seen mentioned here, this one (at least in my experience) has been focused on decorator fabrics -- drapery and upholstery samples. They're all really lovely, but nothing is bigger than a FQ. I picked up quite a number of pieces thinking to make purses or totes from it, but found that this sort of fabric tends to fray
really easily and is a bit difficult to work with. [YMMV, of course.]
The folks there are very, very nice and most of the browsers are quite happy to share ideas for what to do with the fabric once you get it home.
If you're in the area (I drove over from Oakland), it's worth going to at least once!
