I understand that these have lids to remove, but my space is limited...can they be stacked 6-8 high? Will they withstand the full box weight?

I have stacked them one on top of another with the lids on but can not say long term if they warp as I did not keep them that way as I got a new entertainment center.

Yes. Remember that a full box helps distribute the weight throughout the box (not just in the middle), and it's okay to stack the partially filled boxes on top.

Yes, I keep my CDs in it up to 1200 per box and I have stack it three up. Although, handling has to be done cautiously, pick it up with two hands to prevent the box from falling apart. I have been considering using crazy-glue to keep the snaps in place. Sudden moves with the contents of the box can cause the snaps to loosen. Overall, it is doing the job.

I store cd's in mine and they are heavy when full,I have 2 stacks 4 high and have not had trouble with the lids.

You have to stack them very carefully to make a stack higher than 4 or 5. Otherwise, the stack becomes quite tipsy. A stack of 8 could challenge the height or your cabinet.

Yes they will stack but you lose about 1/2 of the space as they sit down inside each other. I doubt you could stack too many as they would topple.

I'd say two stacked to carry. On a shelf you could stack three probably. The lids are not that thick so if the contents are too heavy it will bend in. I really like them though. I use them for storing tools and fabrics. The fabric boxes are pretty packed and heavy. I wouldn't be able to lift two of them at once. I stack a heavy on the bottom and light one on top to keep the boxes from collapsing in.

They're very sturdy. Mine are stacked 4 high so far, and I would go higher if need be. I seem to recall when I was doing my research on them that someone who had written a review for Amazon talked about how high he had stacked them, so you might check out older reviews.

As others have said, they aren't designed to fit together like stackable Rubbermaid boxes, or anything, but the enclosure is ROCK SOLID--it's made out of thick aluminum. You should have no problem simply putting them on top of each other. You could probably step on one with your foot and it'd survive.

I haven't tried, but think they could be stacked. Covers are glass too. I bought these for cotton balls, q tips, etc., and am very pleased with them.

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

P.Bell, yes, they are stackable using the extensions/feet you can see in the picture and the corresponding ledges on the lids. They are pretty narrow cans so I wouldn't recommend stacking them more than perhaps three high. That's what I do and with weight (ammo) in them they are pretty solid.

They are most likely strong enough unless you are putting stuff in them that is too heavy in the first place. As for stacking, that's a great idea, but not sure if they will stay stacked-unless you wire them together.

They do not stack uniformly, the 3rd or 4th one high starts to tip a bit. But I do have them stacked 6 high in my cupboard. I wouldn't take a chance leaving them near the edge of a shelf or counter though.

Don't know for sure because I didn't keep them. I think you might be able to but I agree w the other reviews that it doesn't seem that they were meant to be stacked.

Since I don't know what you are planning to stack I bought them for shoes. These are without a doubt the sturdiest container I have bought for this size. I am extremely happy with my purchase.

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.

Probably they can be stacked 3 to 4 high, but I don't know how stable they'll be. I have them stacked 2 high to bring a table up to adequate level and they remain very sturdy. I say give it a try !

Yes they can be stacked using the locating pins. we have stacked ours three high

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!
