scrapbox storeage system

[stampinfeat]

My craft has grown over the years. I am ready to make an investment on a permanent , furniture piece, or have something built for my supplies. I have recently seen this furniture item called the oiginal scrapbox which is a nice piece of furniture that folds up and looks like a tv cabinet. Does anyone have this? Do you have something else really big that looks great to share? Please, do tell.

Thanks for the note Gale. I saw the video and had the same thought! I just cannot imagine the canvas. It seems kind of pricey for right now too. I was thinking that if I go that far, I may as well hire a cabinet builder and have my craft area exactly the way I want it. Still, it would serve an immediate need. I am also thinking that the canvas would look dirty after awhile and be hard to clean. Hmmmm.....

At least on the Paper Tower... there is a thin wood piece beneath every canvas tote. I will have to wait a while to see if it gets dirty over time, but so far, I think that they ared pretty good. I like the clear plastic on the front.

I have built in cabinets that we put in about two years ago as well. All I needed was paper storage, and the problem with a lot of cabinets is that it isn't really great for 12 x 12 paper. The upper aren't deep enough typically, and the bottom ones we have have a middle bar that won't let me use it easily for paper. I love the paper tower (so far). It looks very similar to the Hickory cabinets we have (I have the knotty alder), and I like that I can move it around.

I just did a Google search for scrapbook storage and found the website. It's a beautiful piece of furniture and a good idea but I still don't think it would hold everything and If I'm spending over $1500 it BETTER hold everything. Plus, even though I'm not getting it, the delivery person will not carry that sucker into your house. My craft room is upstairs, 13 stairs to be exact. No way we could lug that up 13 steps.
