We are currently working to redesign our storage facilities. We
are looking for suggestions for furniture storage (couches, tables, secretaries,
desks, wardrobes, etc.) and for our newly created architectual elements
collection ( windows, exterior moldings, doors and masonry).
Right now are using a series of wooden boxes, each about 4 feet high, that
several furniture items items sit in. The boxes are not easily accessible,
especially for large and bulky items. Large items stand upright in
designated storage areas. Our windows are mostly stained glass, and
are currently arranged so that if one window is needed several need to be
moved. All this extra handling just increases the chance that an accident
might happen.
Would any of you be willing to share your plans or ideas for storing
these items?
Thank you,
