Joanns carries a similar container but it has a handle for easy transport, I didn't know that michaels had these and sometimes as cheap as $4-5 wow what a great deal! I can always use the none handle ones for storage and when ready to take a project on the go use one with a handle. Thanks for sharing I will be looking for these.

This is the unit that I have - actually I have two stacked on top of each other. They are the same boxes but a little cheaper per piece and the rack is great. If you watch, they put them on sale for $35-40 about every 10-12 weeks. You can order them on-line or buy them in the store. You can check on-line to see which stores have them in store. And if you call them, they wll hold them for you until the end of business that day.

I have about 10 of these. I use them to keep projects separate as I collect fabrics for the project. I also keep the pattern there too so I know what the fabrics are to be used for, also any matchng thread, buttons, etc that go with the project. They are great for keeping projects organized
