I want to get a rolling cart with hanging folders to store all my SU cardstock. I am thinking about ordering this one (since we don't have a Staples here). Does anyone have it or something similar? I am wondering if it will be able to hold all my paper.
I thought alot about hanging files for paper, but worried about dust and possible fading from any sunlight in the room. I would suggest making a cloth over to protect your investment!

I just ordered the Cropper Hopper cart from Joann's (with free shipping), and it gets delivered on Thursday. You can see it here.
I did come across this one online but I was kind of concerned about some of the negative reviews about the hanging folder issues. Plus, it doesn't list dimensions and I want to make sure that I can roll it under my desk when I am not using it.
I have one the same as this I bought at Costco, I don't have enough room for all my paper in it. I keep my special papers like glossy etc. in it, also my templates. Mine only holds 81/2x11 paper. I do have a piece of clear plastic over it to keep the dust out.
i use hanging folders for my paper and it works great...i do have an enclosed rubbermaid type container tho which makes it very easy to take my paper all over the place...with the one i got it holds all the 48 SU! colors plus neutrals and other decorative...although it won't hold the 12X12 paper for scrapbooking but then i don't know if that's a concern of yours...i find it very easy to put my scraps of the same color in the front of the folder and then use them before cutting up a new sheet!

I rec'd one similar to this for a b-day present ... It was from Target, but I'm not sure of the price since it was a present (and I did not go to target to look).
You might think about a two drawer file cabinet. That's what I use and have a file for each color of cs, including speciality papers (glossy, metallic, etc). Works great. It's protected from sunlight and dust. As a previous poster mentioned you really need to protect from sunlight--the cs will fade dramatically if left in direct sunlight.

I tried using the hanging files, but I found my paper got more wrinkled and bent that way. I have been using the upright paper holders from cropper hopper now and love them.
I have a metal 2 drawer hanging file folder, but will eventually got a nice oak one. I like my things tucked away, and don't want the elements (kids/dogs) ruining my paper.

I saw that too. But, it's cropper hopper - it's GOTTA hold 12x12
I currently have 3 systems in place, and I'm pretty happy with it, at least for my 8 1/2 x 11. I don't have much for 12 x 12 and am still deciding what to do as far as that goes...
I keep my stacks of paper in a $20 metal paper organizer I got at Costco -- has 10 or 12 shelves, something like that. Just stack them all up.
I keep a few sheets (5-6) of paper in a tupperware container, I've got dividers with tabs I made from each color of paper that also has the reorder number on them. They stand up fine and the tupperware I have fits them PERFECTLY lengthwise. Anything 1/4 of a sheet or larger goes in there.
Then I have a box for scraps (less than 1/4 of a sheet). I will soon be purchasing mini iris carts to better organize my scraps.
It may not be the fanciest system, but it's cheap (and I have a very limited stamping budget, so I like to spend my $$ on stamps, not storage) and works for me!
Also, it probably wouldn't work for a demo.
