I have way too much thread. The Rayon thread for embroidery is the largest collection, I have that in plastic cabinets that each have 6 removable covered thread trays. My long arm thread is in the old three shelved built-in book cabinet with glass doors by the fireplace, my regular sewing thread and misc. thread is in the shallow six drawers in the cabinet that fits under the table of my sewing cabinet. Oh, and serger thread is just in plastic boxes under the old library table. While my thread now spread out over three rooms, I am glad I have sorted it out and can plainly see what I have by opening a drawer, cabinet or see-through box. I would say, if you have a place to store and use that box, go for it.
