I found a thread on here but it won't let me reply since it was started exactly 1646 days ago, or something.
I have the large 16 shelf bookshelf with desk attached. I use it for office, scrapbooking, quilting, general crafting. It fills a lot of purposes. Half of the cubbies are stuffed with fabric. The fabric keeps sliding all over the place and I need to get it better corralled.
My closet Ikea is 5 hours away :-( so I can't just browse whenever I want to. I noticed a few cube boxes on the Ikea website and was wondering your opinions. I need 8 baskets and so I was hoping to not spend more than $4.99 each (if that!). Those plastic ones seem cheap and way too pricey for what they are. I would love the basket style but for sure can't spend $13 each.
Anyone found another solution that fills the cubbies?

I have my fabric ruler folded (http://turningturning.com/tutorial-folding-fabric/) and have it stacked like in the pictures on my Expedits. For fabric, I didn't want bins so I can see what I have when I need to.

A lot of the organizing options at Target will fit into Expedit. The fit may not be exact, but I think if you have a uniform look no one will notice. We use the animal bins for toy storage in our Expedit.
