I'm sure I don't have as much as that woman's but it is a concern of mine cuz my sewing studio is on the second floor and my 4x8 ft sewing table is awfully heavy all by itself, then fabric etc. It has crossed my mind.

I have a fair stash, but nowhere near enough to collapse the floor. I feel for the woman who had to explain to her husband what happened. I'd also like to be there to help her thin it out to prevent another collapse.

Would your stash cave your floor in? I keep mine divided in enough places so that it won't!
