Fabric shelves
#4
I feel for you! My floor in my sewing room collapsed! It was an old, added-on room and DH says that they did not do a very good job when they added it on evidently, years before we bought it. They had to take up the whole floor, clear down to the dirt. There were a couple of concrete steps to show that it was probably a porch at one time. I still have not gotten my sewing room back because, after the floor was fixed, our adult son got a divorce and had to come and live with us.

I now have my fabrics on wire shelves in two big closets. With the brackets and 2x2" boards on thhe walls - sides and back.
Before I had them in a 4x8' cabinet, shelves broke twice, my husband had to reinforce them. It is a mess picking up all the large folded fabric.

look for some inexpensive bookshelves. I worry about my shelves since the ones in the office fell because of the weight of my DH magazine collection. After that fell he just got rid of everything! WOOHOO!

As long as I have had fabric (some 30+ years), this has never happened to me. I'm sorry it happened to you! But I surely DO know how heavy fabric can be; many shop owners/employees have developed "tennis elbow" from picking up and reshelving those bolts by their ends. Fabric and quilts......heavier than one imagines!
