Those are nice, but I don't want clear cabinets. I really don't want to see my "stuff" once the doors are closed. I find I get overwhelmed by visual clutter. I currently have my fabric/batt stored on open shelving in bins and baskets and I kind of hate it. Its always dusty, messy, hard to find/get to stuff and when people sleep in there it is kind of ugly.
I actually fold my clothes and set them on their ends in my dresser drawers. Kind of like this

So I anticipated thats how I would store fabric in the dresser as well. I was also thinking I would like to be able to place a small TV/DVD on top of the dresser.
But there are some good points about the physics of available space in a cabinet. I could put my TV elsewhere, and of it had doors it would look nice.
