What is the stacking strength on these boxes?

I've used these boxes for three different moves. They are very strong and have been stacked 4 boxes high, packed with everything from heavy, breakable dishes. They work great.

They seem strong enough for a reasonable load. We keep our bird food and accessories in a plastic bin on the shelf under the cage. The box weighs probably 15 lbs or more. It makes rolling the cage around on carpet kind of difficult, but I would say I have never felt the cage or legs were flimsy or weak.

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

I am not sure but they are so strong that it is a problem putting too much weight in them and then you can't pick them up. I have packed several boxes with about 150 pounds or more and they are secure. I have learned my lesson though and will pack lighter things in them in the future so I can move them. If someone else is moving them I think they are really strong and can hold up well. Hope that helps!

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!

I have 5 of them...yes, they can be stacked. They are really nice file boxes!

Hi Barbara I tried to send you a picture thru this link but could not. If you want to see a picture of my stack email me at donnameece@aol.com. But the lids are pretty sturdy. If your boxes will be completely full you will have no problem stacking them as long as they are against something sturdy like wall or back of cabinet. Enjoy!

I am afraid to try stacking them for fear of them sticking and causing damage. They are very sturdy, but I personally would not recommend stacking.

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.

With the tops on the containers stack well and are very strong. We have stacks of six to eight containers (holding books) and have noticed no damage due to stacking.

That really depends on how high you want to (or physically can) stack them. I would limit it to three...it would be too difficult for me to stack any higher than that. If you are tall and strong, you could probably do four.

They can probably be stacked, but I don't know how stable it would be. I only bought one, but I really love it.

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 would not advise stacking them due to the weight and height proportions. Two stacked would be too tall to be stable.

i haven't tried to stack these, but they are incredibly sturdy on their own. i imagine that stacking would work well if you have something to make it stable (i can't help you there). i've had this for 2 years now - no rot, no breaking - and it's in the elements of weird winters, torrential downpours, and hot summers of north carolina.

Not really. I would not stack them. There are no notches or groves for them to stay put. I would be afraid of one sliding off the other and the lid is not all that sturdy to bear a lot of weight.

They stack fairly well but you're going to need some pretty tall cabinets to stack the larger ones! I only stack two of the shorter ones.
