Is there anything that secures multiple cubes together, eg. Grooves or screws? I am worried about my child pulling up on it & the shelves falling.

No there isn't anything the cubes do have some heft but a child could topple them

If you took the time to maybe glue your the shelves to the pegs. The shelves have notches where they sit on pegs and they wobble. I like the unit just not unstable shelves. Good luck. It is a nice unit.

I've got smaller ones and they're wobbly and stacking one on top of the other sucks and I'm not doing it - they'll just slowly collapse. What I've done that has taken care of the problem is just put a board on top of the two bottom containers and then stack another on top of the board - we have three total so that has worked for us. The second row weight distributes via that board across the entire bottom two storage units instead of just the four points that then get squished over time and begin to collapse. The board has prevented any collapse - no worriess. I put the heavier content ones on the bottom and the lighter on top but there isn't that much difference really. So a board works. I'd stick another container on top and be comfortable with that. Now I would never stack over two rows with my board solution though. What I would do is still purchase these containers because they are pretty cool for what we need them to do, and I would purchase some concrete building blocks (pretty cheap although somewhat heavy). Then I would put one concrete block on top of another and once I got above the height of the first row storage then place a board on the concrete blocks. Then do the same on top of that second row I just made to get to a third row. That way all weight from any of the two upper rows of storage boxes is transferred to the board and the concrete blocks and the first row is on the ground so no problems. Hope that helps. =P

Yes - the top of them has 4 small holes that the feet of another one will fit in to to stop the top one from sliding around. They don't physically lock together, but I just tried our two and they seemed secure when I open a drawer on the top one and let it hang down.

No, the shelves keep the unit from wobbling. You might be able to get by using just 2 shelves. I'd keep looking, I'm sure what you want is available.

I have mine stacked as you've described and have no problem with them sliding off each other. They have grooves in them to keep them secure and seem to work quite well.

That is what I did. But I ended up having to super glue the dividers, they kept sliding out of the slots. It's fine now, but I wondered if hanging it might have prevented that issue, but I didn't have a place for it.

The bottom shelf needs to be attached, it is the only thing holding the four legs together. If you remove that, the shelves will be completely unstable.

I have the same question. It would be great if you could buy additional shelves ad hoc. I was planning on having one made - there are a lot of holes in the locker where it would be easy to add a second shelf with a few mounts and a think piece of metal or wood.

Mine isn't wall anchored and it's pretty stable. I've two spacers at the top of the shelves to off set the small amount of space that is caused by the shelves being against the floor board on the bottom but that's all and it is very stable to me. If you feel it's not stable enough free standing then I'd use an anchor at the top. Another thing to consider is if you plan to lay anything on top of the shelves such as a thin book or DVD case, be aware that if your not careful, it might slip down the back and you might have to dig it out. This happened to me and I had to get a pair of grabbers to get it out. To keep this from happening again, I placed a shelf mat on top of the shelves. Hope this helps.

Thank you for contacting us. The sliding cabinet has an easy installation that requires holes so the item does not slide out and fall out of the cabinet. We do have other items that are not sliding cabinets that are more stackable bins that may be helpful.

I've got tons of books and trinkets on mine... But don't do anything over 30 or 40 pounds on each shelf. The shelves are made of glass :/

Hi Yenni,You can stack Storage Cubes as much as you can. We recommend securing them together with double sided adhesive and also anchoring to the wall to prevent any accidental tipping.Jimmy ChiangWay Basics, Founderjimmy@waybasics.com

I wouldn't trust them. I had them in my pantry for food and in my children's closets and they kept coming apart and are very difficult to put back together without taking everything off and redoing it. I got rid of them and replaced them with sturdier more expensive shelves and it was totally worth it. Less stress and annoyance!

No they do not click together when stacked. They are however fairly heavy and once full of stuff wouldn't fall off unless hit. If you buy some of that non skid rubber feeling shelf paper sold at almost any hardware store, Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, etc., and cut out a square of it and put it in between the two drawers they would become almost as sturdy as if they clicked together, that stuff is totally great to keep things in place. We use it in the motor home on the tables, cupboards, counters and nothing moves or falls. It's really great stuff. White would probably work well with the clear acrylic. Good luck. PS: Love the drawers and they look great.

The biggest problem with stacking them is weight. Unless you are storing something extremely light, the weight of the top unit is going to cause the bottom unit to buckle, making it a huge pain to open the drawers.

There is a small ledge on the shelf that keeps the items from falling off the shelf. I'm still very happy with this purchase. I have no complaints about it. We've had it for about 6 months now I believe.
