That way you can put your fabric on end like they do at the fabric shops on the bolts. I have a cabinet with glass doors that I got at the Ikea store so they all stay nice and dust free and it looks like alot of colorful books on the shelves.
Before using these and the cabinets I had all my fabric sorted in plastic bins. but it always seemed that the one I wanted was at the bottom of the pile and those bins get very heavy to pile and unpile.
I love the cabinet /Bookshelf idea it sure saves the back from lifting and bending.
Also the one cabinet I have has drawers on the lower half so I have my Fat Quarters sorted standing on end so I can see the edges so that is really great also.

I agree that the polar notions ones are a lot nicer but I can't afford to spend $60 for just 50 boards if I want to keep having fabric to put on them. Even if I could I think it's too much $$ just for a board. I will look into the solutions others posted about though, like the foam underlayment stuff.
