Would the box hold up on its own if I were to stack these, or would it collapse? In other words, are the sides strong enough to hold it up?

I ordered it and returned it right away. The material is very flimsy and thin. To honestly answer your question no it would not hold up.

the sides are probably strong enough because there is not much weight on them if you were to stack them. The center of the one placed on top would probably sag a little bit because the dividers in the center are just made of cloth. that's my best guess.

In my opinion it needs to be assembled in the proper matter to hold up and be stable and stackable.

There are no center supports. The only support is the frame of the box so I would say no, do not buy if you plan to stack on top of each other.

No it wouldn't but I feel that is because it is made to be fold-able when not in use. I think you could if you had shoes in them

I would not attempt to stack them, as there is a small lip on the top and bottom of the shelves, it seems to me that it would be wobbly. Also, I live in Ca, earthquakes are not uncommon and if the unit is standing on carpet that is going to make it less evenly supported. If it was bracketed to the wall perhaps but the backing is nothing to write home about, so I don't see it as a great anchoring force. Hope that helps :-)

Yes, they will nest together for stability. I have not attempted to stack them, so I don't know if that would be advisable.

I think you could manage to stack two of them together. However, they are not made to be stacked. Hope this helps!

Yes. Remember that a full box helps distribute the weight throughout the box (not just in the middle), and it's okay to stack the partially filled boxes on top.

Somewhat. They dont fit all the way down, but I do stack mine...but only a couple at a time. I think all of them together would make them topple over.

I think that if you use the side pieces along with the racks it should be sturdy enough. The side pieces help to keep it steady. I only had room for two without the side parts, where I was putting it, but I did see this with multiple sets before I bought mine.

Mine is not extended all the way and it's not very sturdy, but it's enough. If you're using just one, it should be fine. I'm stacking three and it's a little wobbly (it's good enough for my needs, though).

Not very well. This item turned out to be pretty flimsy construction in my opinion, anyway. We did not buy any more of these. We use boxes that are made for hangers. They are just cardboard boxes that are designed to hold hangers. Since it is just a cardboard box, they can take a lot of abuse and still be just as functional as ever. You can crush it, then keep right on using it.

I think you could. You might want to find a way to secure them together if you're stacking anything remotely heavy or breakable though. For light/unbreakable items, you'd probably be fine.

No, the top of the box is slightly wider than the bottom so they would not easier stack.

I am currently stacking mine 3 up on a shelf in my closet. They are remarkably sturdy when loaded with a dozen plates. I think you will be safe stacking up to four boxes tall especially if you put the lightest boxes on top.

It holds lots and lots of weight. I used it to stack my moving boxes on: 3-4 boxes high and covered from one end to the other. Using it as a desk should be no problem at all.

I haven't actually tried to stack them, but honestly, I don't see how you could, esp. if you wanted it to be stable. My answer to you is no.

It would not be secure to stack them sideways unless your space is so restrictive that the units couldn't shift at all. There are feet that anchor one unit to another and they are only on the long sides.

They appear to be very stable and could handle stacking 2 on top of each other. I only have one, but would not hesitate in putting 2 on top of each other.

They stack nicely as long as the contents are well balanced. They are very sturdy so they hold lots of stuff, but if the top tiers get lopsided I suspect there might be a gravitational incident.
