Can these be stored on their side edges like books?

Absolutely. They are not flimsy at all. I also like that the non-cutting surface is kind of tacky (but not sticky), so that the board doesn't slip all around while you are cutting or chopping. I think they are the best I've ever used. Hope that helps.

Yes. I stack with my sheet pans with no problem. I use them all the time and am satisfied with my purchase.

If you were to put it in a drying rack, it will stand and dry off. If you lean it against something it will stand as well. It is about 1mm in thickness so it is unable to stand alone on its side

I would think they would work just fine for storing binders,, I purchased ten of them for storing stuff in my garage,, two of them is full of some the old green binders that I used at training material.. plus the price was right and they are easy to carry up to the second level..

Yes pretty easily depending on how many and how thick your books are. Now I will say if your books are of average size, you shouldn't have a problem at all.

It is pretty sturdy so I don't think you'd have any problem storing books as long as they are not too big. The shelves are about 7" deep.

You probably could - they clip pretty tight on the shelf so I think they would stay in place if you put purses between them. I really like them.

Yes you could quite easily these have flat sides. You may want to 'screw' them together so they fit more tightly and would then look more 'custom/built in'. They really do provide quite a bit of nice storage. Just beware these are not 'white' white but have a yellowish tinge to them and they are 'distressed'. That being said I still like mine and get many compliments on them.

Yes, I know it can. I had the same question as you did when I first purchased them, and I was nervous that the shelves would not hold. They do. While typing I am looking at them right now and the shelves are strong. A suggestion that I have is, put the heavier books on the bottom shelf, and the shelf that is the 2nd one up, because these shelves are secured to the sides. In addition to being a college student, I am also a school teachers. I put my teachers edition textbooks on these shelves, and They are holding up fine. Actually most of my books are hardback that are on the shelves. I am very pleased with how these shelves look and how they hold their weight.

You could leave out a shelf (I suppose) as each shelf is put in individually, but that wouldn't provide the support you need for the books.

Yes you can put cd/dvd on both sides of the page this helps to also keep them tight fitting in place when removing and putting back in place.

I gave one of these to my friend. She reads books (not all paperbacks ) so I am saying yes. The holder is wide and there is an edge that runs across the bottom.

Yes, if you put them together properly, though I'd question HOW MANY books each shelf can hold without some extra reinforcement from zip ties or something. I used to keep school books in mine, but I only had maybe 3 or 4 of them on one shelf. Considering they were fairly heavy college textbooks and the shelves never came apart, I would say yes.

Depends more on the books than the tower: I have some pushed toward the front and others slightly more to the back in an attempt to make sure the ends of some paperbacks do not begin to curl. If are worried about the strength of the sleeves, don't be. The shelves slide in so that they point up at a very slight angle, and so if you front load them with textbooks or whatnot they will be fine.

No, however, i took mine out of the container and placed them in a small container on their sides, so far no issues!

I am not sure about storing them vertically, I did sometimes store mine on the sideways vertically along the wall or side of my cabinet. I encountered no problems with this storage method

You can put tape on the sides to hold them together, but it's a poor quality product. Don't waste your money.

Not really. Try to send them back, or resell them. You can use them to store papers and pictures, but these will slide out if it's not heat laminated. Not worth the hassle.

You should be able to but there is no way to fasten them together which would require you to be very careful when putting things onto or taking things off of the shelves. Otherwise, you might end up dumping everything off.
