Does it make sense to store them lidless on a bookshelf and slide each box out to browse its contents?

Yes, that would work well. They are durable and should handle the wear and tear of that kind of use.

Mine are falling apart from being pulled out occasionally so I can look swap things out. They look nice but they're just cardboard, not even a real sturdy corrugated kind.

Yes, we used the lids upside down underneath to improve stability. Works great.

I'm not sure constant use would give much longevity... Also, put some felt pads on the bottom. The lid us not required for structural integrity though.

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 think that would be a great idea. You want to store them in a dry place, so I think sealing them up would work well.

Yes. I have my cabinet sitting horizontally. There are three "backs" to the cabinet. You can place them behind any of the openings to close them off to create three closed-off shelves. There's enough room inside each shelf for you to stack two rows where you can then see the labels of the DVDs. Considering you can do two stacked rows per three shelves, that could be quite a lot of storage. Good luck.

Without a problem and in fact is good idea to keep them in the Cloud and only download the books to want to immediately read. It saves space on your computer

I have too many dvds for storage in the drawers..I threw out the covers and store my movies in dvd cases which fit well..

Structurally, yes, you can do that -- you can arrange the cubes in any way you want. Just a heads-up, though, the cubes aren't made for holding really heavy things. If they're paperback books it might work well, but I'm a student and I only store my heavy books on the bottom cubes to avoid bending them or impairing the structure.

Yes, I think it could. I'm not using the shelfs for that purpose. My daughter has her doll collection displayed which is light in comparison to books.

They are not fancy so if you are looking to store something for yourself they would be fine. If you are looking to store and sell, these are probably not the containers for that. Hope this helps.

HMMM... storage for what? It depends I think. I do not see why it would be a problem for storage. If you do not mind bending, because it is pretty low to the ground. When I come in the door and I am wearing flats or flip flops, I can just slide them off into the small box. Hope that helps.

I don't know for sure but they so seem pretty sturdy. I don't think I would load every shelf with hard bound books. But spreading the weight over several shelves and putting lighter weight items in between, would probably work great.

I think you could put them in the box if you left them open. I don't think that they would fit if you wanted the box closed though.

I use mine for books. They are quite sturdy. Youwould be aable to put hundreds of DVD on them I would think

Yes, no problem with storage. We saved the original box and keep it there when not using it.

Sadly no. This is exclusively a storage solution though it is a pretty nifty way to keep track of discs.

I have not tried to do that but my immediate thought is: not if you put too many in the box. It certainly will hold the weight of being full of file folders and paper but I would imagine the weight of vinyl albums etc would only work it were half or less ... full. Hope that makes sense.

probably yes. if it is just for transporting then i would say yes. if you used them to store heavy stuff and the box got damp, it might not hold up. i have them full of files, just like the picture, and they are absolutely strong enough for that use. i wouldn't hesitate putting books in these strong boxes. good luck! -s
