I've been considering getting some of these boards, but as nice as they look, it doesn't look like you can fit as much fabric onto a shelf as you can if it were just folded. For instance, in the photo below, there are about 30 different fabrics on each shelf. I doubt if I could fit 30 boards of fabric in the same space, but don't know this to be true. Has anyone else switched and can tell me the space conversion?

I see a lot of fabrics in your stash that I also have in mine!!!!
Don't know about the boards. I don't use them. My thought is also that you could not get as much fabric on a shelf. Mine is folded nice and neat and can easily see what's there. Your shelf looks that way too. I can't see, for myself, spending that kind of time, or money to wrap my thousands of yards of fabric on boards.

I guess that the advantage would be since they are standing on end it would be easier to pull out the fabrics instead of having to try and work out something from the bottom. I just don't think you could put as much fabrics on the shelf.
I wrap my larger pieces around the 6" ruler, and the smaller ones I just fold to about 4" wide.
