Thanks to Eileen, I had a heap of silk fabric with no home and wondered how to store it. Sure, I could buy plastic lidded storage boxes but those are pain in the ass because they're heavy when stacked full of fabric and invariably it's the bottom box you want when searching for a specific item. Already had this metal shelving unit (that I had powder coated in metallic silver paint) so filled it up with fabric.
Filled that mammajamma and still needed MORE fabric storage space. Another visit to my favorite used office furniture store and found this cool unit for less than marked price of $49! WooHoo! I opted for the sturdy metal cabinet at the same price as four plastic storage containers. Cleaned it up and opted to place unit in closet so no powder coating necessary although, am now considering a powder coat finish to match the other unit and placing them in the same room.
Top two shelves have sliding doors removable for easy cleaning.
Sliding drawers on third and fourth levels.

wonderful ideas to use those cabinets.. I would love to get a couple old lockers and figure out a good way to store yarn in them.. i just love how they look and you can use magnets and use it as a note board too.. by the way - LOVE your fabric stash... good thing you are in N.O. :-)
