If I buy a few of these and fill them with non-jewel-cased CDs, how high can I safely stack them?

I wouldn't stack them at all unless you put them on custom shelves or boards between them. The metal corners are rounded, not conducive to stacking.

I would not stack them more than 2 high. They are heavy and the drawers are very tight. I personally feel they would become unstable (when opening and closing drawers) if stacked 3 high.I have 4 of these myself. I do like them.

I'm not sure. I haven't stored that many CDs and DVDs yet to be at a point where I'm stacking them.

Good question. I had never thought of doing that. So I took this plastic sleeve and one of the booklets that came with one of my CD'S and it fits right inside. With plenty of room. That's a good idea. I even learned something. Hope this helps you.

I have 90 in mine but left one shelf out. The extra shelf would make the spaces shorter if you want a shelf for CDs.

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.

I don't know how high you would like to stack them but I stack the small ones in my cabinet (by twos) and it works fine. I just went in and tested them....six large ones stacked stayed straight and upright!

Negative. When you open them up they are a little wider from the bottom then they are from the top so you cant stack them in a normal fashion. You could however do odd things with them but I would say it is at your own risk...

Just went to the closet to check, seems like you can stack them. Mine are so full though it didn't stack well

yes, to all three questions. Of course, if you use jewel cases, the box will not hold as many CDs and DVDs, but you have already figured that out, I'm sure.

This box holds 80 CD or DVDs. They slip into the front and back plastic sleeve of each of the 40 hanging files. It is not made to hold plastic jewel cases. You will have to store the empty case somewhere else.

I wouldn't stack that many. I might stack two but I'd be concerned about more. The covers do not zip but merely lay on top. If they zipped that would provide more strength around a critical mass.

Hi, yes, they are very sturdy. I have one stacked one atop of another and there were no problems with the bottom box warping or ready to fall apart. They are made of sturdy plastic, so if you do want to stack one on top of another, it should be no problem, no matter how many dvd's or cd's are in the cases. I have quite a collection of dvd's and my needs were met by these boxes.

I don't have any of those things but if they are bigger than a DVD case then no - cd's can sit in it but it's really too big for those. Hope that helps.

No, not really. The unit that I have is stable, but if you try to stack another unit on top of it, it will probably make it very unstable. If you need more room, you might want to invest in another model Maxsteel Multimedia Rack that has a CD Capacity 864. That is the next model up from this one.

I did put the CD and insert in each slot, and the case is nearly full. Yes, it can be done, but it's tight. I ended up cutting a bit of the edges off lots of the inserts.

The cds would have to be laid flat and it would hold alot of them. Not sure 80. Also if you are setting this on a thicker carpet it may be unstable. This is due to the design not build quality. IE.Small footprint and beimg so tall. It will hold the weight though.

I would not stack them the reason I purchased the files was because of the wheels. I also think they would tip over you shoud buy a four drawer file

Yes - I just tried it - a music CD will fit in the mailer - although I can say that I would probably try to put some cardboard around it so the jewel case wouldn't get cracked (by a direct hit!). The bubbles aren't thick enough for that kind of protection. If you put some cardboard on top/bottom, you'd probably be OK - there's not a whole lot of extra room on the sides though...
