can these be stacked to hold her college books-the ones she is using now warped and lean forward dumping her books on the floor. will they hold books?

Yes, I believe these could do the trick. They are heavy duty, pretty much like the ones found back in the seventies. I use mine for kayak fishing, so they are in the FL heat, salt, humidity. They show no signs of warping, fading, cracking. Much better than you will find at dollar stores, wal-mart, target or anywhere else.

Yes they are very strong and durable. Depending on how you stack them, they will interlock too.

Actually ,yes!! That's actually what I use a couple of mine for. Very sturdy and stackable.

I'm sorry. I answered the wrong thing. We use this on our attic door to store garbage bags, paper plates, cups, etc. If the books aren't very heavy it would probably work.

They will hold books. Our shelf was the standard thickness 3/4" and they fit tightly on there so they are pretty sturdy. We were pleasantly surprised with them and ordered more for our other closets. Hope this info helps!

I am sure you could stack the binders on one shelf. I have big heavy books on my shelves. I am sure they weigh more than 30lbs.

I would imagine it would work out just fine. The shelves are adjustable and they seem pretty sturdy. It holds all our heavy books perfectly. We are very happy with our purchase. �

I am sure it would depend on how many books are on top of the bottom one. If you have a hardcover, then put it on the bottom and pile your paperbacks on top. This is a great item! Very strong!

The shelves adjust vertically. So as long as the books don't exceed the shelf depth, the book will fit. We use the shelves for paperbacks and they fit well.

I would not climb or set on these because they are not made that sturdy. I don't think they would stack very well. They are all the same size. I like them for storage that are set in shelves.

Depends on the box dimensions and weight, but in general I would say no. They are sturdy for things of moderate weight, but books could be too taxing. The shelves are also not high or wide enough for what I would consider moving boxes.

I havn't tried stacking them...but I think they would stack very well...the rubberized material on the top would keep them from sliding, and there isn't anything that would interfer with the drawer opening/closing.

I have paperback books on mine. The adjustable shelves are very thin. So I am not sure about them holding the weight of bottles. The main shelves should be fine.

I have not tried it but since they collapse on the sides, I wouldn't try it. I have set them on their sides to have easier access to contents when they are on a shelf and they seem to hold up fine, but don't think it would work to stack them on their side.

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

I've had this bookshelf for about a year. All the shelves are loaded with papers & books, but not heavy textbooks. The middle couple of shelves are starting to sag, so I wouldn't recommend it for books like yours. It would definitely need reinforcement.

Yes you would just have to hold the book horizontally. They slip in from the sides. I have pictures displayed both ways and put a page of vertical pictures together and 2 pages of horizontal pictures together.

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.

I would think so. I pack them with files of papers and they hold up. Maybe pack them a little lighter thaan normal since books are heavy.
