IRIS USA, DPC-64, 64 Drawer Sewing and Craft Parts Cabinet, White
I put that in Google and came up with links to Amazon, Home Depot, Ebay, Walmart, Container Store and others.
This comes in multiple sizes (for example, 24 and 48 drawers) although some of the smaller sizes are actually less of a value price wise.
I've also seen this in black for the frame.

I do love dmc floss storage!

[@theresastitches]

Oooooh so organized and pretty! 🤩 It’s like having your own floss store to shop from when you are kitting up projects!

[@MandyParker]

That’s a great setup! Something for me to keep in mind. Thanks for sharing, Laura!

[@devrakline4967]

Looks great! You are so organized!

[@e_craftingincolorado]

This is great! Love to see another paper crafter and stitcher.

[@stitchingscottie4505]

How neat and organized it looks! Super video! Thanks so much!

[@JennyFleming]

The DMC storage is perfect!

[@stitchingrunner]

Nice cabinets! Love this idea.

[@susanradford9503]

Thanks Laura. I love those storage boxes - perfect.

[@marla_a]

Laura, that is a fabulous storage cabinet! Really love that idea. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@VulcanStitcher1701]

Oh! I would love this!! I'll have to look into this

[@theresapetrik1995]

Nicely done!

[@pamkahmann3833]

Best solution (for me) for storing floss that I have seen! Thank you!

[@stitchingbytheshore]

So glad it was helpful

[@confessionsofaserialstitcher]

This is exactly what I was looking for last night & trying to explain to my hubby that I wanted to do. Thank you so much for sharing. Much love ❤️

[@stitchingbytheshore]

Glad to help!

[@ellenbeallstratton]

Love these! I have purchased 3, but I think I need more. Thanks so much for walking us through your craft room solutions!

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I love having to pick out my floss now!

[@colleenisaac6647]

Great storage idea!

[@jeantruckey1502]

Wow! Love it!

[@maureenlopez9266]

What a great set-up for your floss! Those drawers would work great for the fancy floss too!

[@stitchingbytheshore]

They would be great for that too.

[@JanetJabber]

I love your system. 🌻🌻🌻

[@stitchingbytheshore]

Thanks Janet!

[@candrasowder8236]

If I only had a wall! I like it!

[@stitchinginhighheels9529]

I love this setup. Right now I have my full skeins stored in shack bags in photo boxes. It works, but this would make it easier to get to and to monitor what needs replacing

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I tried really hard to make some sort of bag system work but nothing seemed to be ideal. This makes kitting up a project so easy.

[@susancopp5045]

I have these same ones and I'm really happy with them

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I’m loving them!

[@batstitchcrazy8469]

I wanted a system like this so badly but just didn't have the room. Beautiful. Enjoy

[@stitchingbytheshore]

Thanks!

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

These are great!

[@stitchingbytheshore]

Thanks!

[@dannaballard7652]

Thanks for the link. Michael's in my area is not well stocked either.

[@charj57]

Thank you

[@annf3949]

Just ordered 2 keeping my fingers crossed it will work I have tried everything from floss bags to to hanging them everything lol it gets frustrating when you can’t find the colors you need without getting a headache lol

[@karenfredrickson8562]

What a great idea Laura! I use a cart with 10 drawers with dividers I bought at the dollar store. DMC is organized by columns on the DMC color card. I have 2 columns per drawer.

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I think something like that was what I originally though to do but couldn't figure out the logistics. Sounds very organized!

[@vestasbuttonbox9397]

I'm sold. I love the layout, and the color is perfect for my studio. The drawers in this system are both cute and functional. I know my little OCD brain would be content. Now, to allocate some funds. Thanks for sharing, Laura.

[@stitchingbytheshore]

You're welcome - I really love this system.

[@Hellomynameiswillson]

Just wanted to add i've decided upon this system a while ago and the video completely has sold me. I have been buying a cubby every couple months so the sticker shock of the price doesn’t hurt as much. it also gives me time to the floss organized. So far I just have two set up.

[@vestasbuttonbox9397]

@@Hellomynameiswillson That's a great idea. Thanks for the tip.❤

[@jojos853]

Fantastic x

[@fransmith7905]

Thanks for sharing!

[@annf3949]

Counted all my floss need a couple more lol yes I love cross stitching

[@annf3949]

I like going by the numbers

[@heden1460]

I think would need two. Then I could use what I already have for other flosses.

[@joymcghee680]

Great

[@connieverbeck1110]

Drool!!

[@eastcoaststitcher8203]

Yes, was waiting for this video. I have to use this system. Thank you so much. I currently use photo albums with baggies and numerical order. Can I be a pain and ask you how wide and high this system is?

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I tried baggies and other things and the floss always ended up messy. This has been a game changer. My dmc is always neat now. One container with 64 drawers is 19.5 inches wide and 15.5 inches high.

[@eastcoaststitcher8203]

@@stitchingbytheshore thank you. They are expensive but I am seriously thinking about this. I may try the container store and see if I can find something comparable now that I know what I’m looking for. Thanks!

[@zulanova1209]

_That's a lotta floss_

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I love my dmc's and it's been so nice to work my way to a complete set. Gotta love those coupons at Michaels!

[@owlandgatorstitcher]

I have been toying with an idea like this although seeing it all together it looks like it takes quite a bit of space if you do one color per drawer. Are all the drawers utilized?

[@stitchingbytheshore]

It does take up a good bit of space. Each one of 64 is 19.5 inches wide and 15.5 inches high. I have all but the last three rows of drawers filled although having said that, since I keep buying anchor black, I do have more than one drawer of that color.

[@candyyork74]

Will a bobbin stand up in the drawer?

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I gave it a try and the bobbins I have are a teensy bit too tall. I’ll show an example of that on Fridays weekly video visit.

[@annf3949]

I will just write them by hand
