I am using my 2 for a file cabinet and shelf. I believe they will be sturdy enough for your intended use but I have not had the occasion to use them as such.. Nina Quinlan

The material is hollow, so I would be skeptical about 80 pounds standing on it. I have no experience with any other similar products, so I am not able to make a recommendation.

Although the are quite sturdy I wouldn't let a child stand on any type of cube, they are not made for that.

I would not use it for this. I would get something solid wood for kids to stand on.

They're really pretty sturdy, I don't think the weight would be an issue. You can check the dimensions of the shelves under product details to see if those will fit.

I'm sure you can do this no problem, they are sturdy but I would suggest anchoring it to the wall if you have little ones climbing around just to be safe.

These stands can handle that size. If you have kids or dogs running around they could possibly get tipped over because they are tall stands. I have bumped them not thinking and they did not fall over.

They are sturdy, but they won't stand up to being thrown around. Depends on the kid.

I love this item! It went together perfectly and is as sturdy as it can be for the size of it. I'm not a 100% sure what your expectation of sturdy is. If you expect to be able to put a lot of your body weight on it, I would say it's not meant for that. Is you are concerned about a toddler or baby being able to pull it over, anchor it to the wall, or just make sure they don't play with it. I hope this helps.

It's definitely large and sturdy enough. If you are storing them standing up, they will eventually start to sag. Gravity always wins. Hope that helps!

Yes, I believe they would support quite a bit of weight, stacked as you described. I put all my weight, 130 lbs., on a 2-stack and it was strong and steady. I'd say you could get away with up to 150 lbs. easily.

Well, I have a 30 lb. pot on one, a 40 lb. pot on another. I weigh 125 lbs., and I actually stood on one. So...I would say they're fairly sturdy. :)

We got them for my son who is 38 lbs but we all use them with him and my husband is 175 lbs. I think they could withstand a lot more though! I hope this helps.

I would not recommend it. They are cardboard, somewhat sturdy but not enough to support a child.

I suppose it depends on the ages in your classroom and/or whether they're well behaved. I think its sturdy enough as a room divider. Mine has been moved around a bit and fallen twice and it's just fine. It's my second one and both are holding up very well. Hopefully this helps.

I purchased these for the front desks of the buildings I manage. They seem to be sturdy and the base is pretty heavy so they don't tip easily. Not sure what the weight capacity is but we have different sized adults all using them and they seem to be fine. Hope this helps!

They are really sturdy and can stand up to a lot of weight. My only advice would be that they are really hard to decorate on. I was super excited to get them and then gave them away because they stood empty the whole time I had them. I couldn't send them back because it says once u open box u can not return them. Hope this helps!

Yes it is definitely sturdy enough but I would be concerned about them if they might miss the general center of the platform and jump in the edge that then they might cause the stack to topple if you stack too high.

Josette I first bought these cubes for my children to use as a bookcase when they were 4 yo. I built them in a 4 cube tall arrangement, and they worked fine. I did notice after time that the shelves with the heaviest books did sag about an inch, but I was never worried about it toppling over on my children. I did follow the precaution of putting the heaviest books on the bottom shelf, and mandating that the very top shelf was for Mommy only - and that shelf did get pretty heavy with all of their special books. Now the children are 7 yo., and I've reconfigured it into a get dressed / ready for school station configured very much like that Amazon picture only instead of 4 shelves the top two sections are baskets that hold their backpacks, etc. One of the best purchases I've made for them. Enjoy!

Personally I wouldn't stack the cages on top of one another. I don't think that they are sturdy enough to hold the weight.
