Shelves on brackets seems to always have things falling off the ends or don't stay organized. The cases I bought were 10 in deep. If I had it to do again, I'd go 12 just for the extra room. Each case with a door is 32" wide so with 8 feet you could get 3 of these cases in place. [ATTACH=CONFIG]548186[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]548187[/ATTACH]
I love Billy bookcases! I have two in my office for genealogy notebooks and other clutter, and one in the guest room for -- you guessed it -- fabric and quilting supplies. I got the doors that are glass on top and solid on bottom. I still need to affix paper or something on the inside of the glass to keep light off the fabric.
