Would it be possible to stack one on top of another? Would the bottom one hold the weight? Thanks.

I'm not sure. The manufacturer says not to put more than 40 lbs. on the shelf, it doesn't say anything about the bookcase. I'd say no, because the back is simply cardboard tacked on to the wood frame.

I wouldn't try it, myself. The weight question would be borderline at best, and I would think there would be too much danger of the top one sliding off because of the materials and the way they are made. (Plus I think it would look funny.) I own this model as well as the taller bookcase... Have you considered just buying one tall one instead of stacking? I think you would he happier with the result.

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 :-)

I would think so I stack 2 one on top of the other. at times I lay them side by side.

You can stack them vertically if you want. It would be less stable, so you would have to put your heavier items on the bottom two shelves and your light items on the top.

I'm sure you could stack something on this, but would it be "secured" and hold tight, I seriously doubt it. I don't have anything to stack on top of mine to test it. In my opinion this isn't made for stacking, but like I said I'm sure you can place a smaller container on it and it would just rest on top.

They are not stackable. One could probably do it, but they would be unstable and fall. They are fragile and would break.

In theory, sure, but there is nothing that would hold the legs from one in place on top of the next, and with a slick finished material, I wouldn't suggest it. If you were to say, use wood glue on the bottom of the legs to put it on top of the next, you could in theory stack them. Even so, The weight limit isn't that great; trying to build some sort of shelf system would be ill advised and there are plenty of other options out there that are designed for that sort of thing.

Not designed to stack them. The top and bottom are smooth surface, stacking them is risky.

I have them stacked 3 high. They are plenty strong enough to support one on top of the other!!

Sorry, but in my personal opinion -- no. When they are stacked they are kind of shaky. Not by much, but I would not want to put something heavy on top of them.

No, they would not stack well.....and you can make them into a good chair if you put in your own sheet metal screws in the underbar. Now, it is sturdy, where before it collapsed on us.....it just needs some TLC to be a safe product. Enjoy.

I would not recommend stacking of these units due to the safety issue of the top unit tipping over.They are fairly sturdy but I wouldnt stack them .

It think it would be awkward to stack to of them I personally own just one but the one I have I noticed the the top of the surface does not hold weight well. I put a stack of books on it and it caved in. I hope this helps

No, they aren't meant to stack on top of each other. Would suggest you get the 4 or 5 shelf unit if you need one with more shelves.

There is no provision for stacking them. They would probably be a bit unstable if you stacked them. A handy person could probably do it, but I would not recommend it!

I think if the bottom is weighted down good you could stack another on top with light weight items only, otherwise I would say No...I love these, but I would not trust them 100% for stacking. I have a whole wall of them in my kitchen for spare appliances, cookbooks, phone books, etc....it looks neat and organized.

No, these aren't stackable unless you put a piece of wood or something on top of first where legs of second would sit.

They're not really stackable, no. Unless you have the top on them, but then you're just putting one on top of the other.
