Can they be stacked on their sides, with the opening facing outward? Like a wall of storage for toys, books, etc?

TR Young, When storing toys, towels, or trinkets the crates will serve you well their sides. I would not recommend filling them with books or heavier items and expect them not to warp.

Yes! I have stacks of two for mine as a little bookshelf and so far it works nicely!

These crates DO NOT interlock in any fashion when stacked on their sides. They simply set on top of each other. Any slight bump will cause the stack to tumble down. When stacked open side up they do interlock and the stack is very stable.

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

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. The only overhang is on the front. So you could put them side to side without issue I believe.

Yes - I have two of them stacked, but they have to be positioned against a wall or something. They're very light.

They can be stacked safely. There is an indent on the top that lets the next smaller canister nest nicely,

I wouldn't stack them at all unless you put them on custom shelves or boards between them. The metal corners are rounded, not conducive to stacking.

Mine are stacked on top iof each other like bookcases-each filled with books and we have had no problems.

It would probably be pretty hard. They weren't designed to be, and the back is a convex curve. I think you'd have to make two little shelves for them.

If you are referring to the "Add on Storage Unit" then Yes they can be stacked. The dimensions for the Storage Unit (as pictured) are 34.61L x 17.44W x 16.89H.Add on Storage Unit (with shelves) dimensions are 34.61L x 14.61W x 16.86H. The Storage Unit pictured comes with a secure strap for the purpose of preventing stacked items from sliding off.I would recommend it be on the bottom based on width.

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.

You could try... however, I do not think that the slots for the cases is deep enough to hold them in place if it were mounted horizontally. I tipped mine over and before it got anywhere near horizontal a few DVDs fell out. As it is completely full, I didn't want to make a big mess by putting it fully horizontal, so I cannot say definitively....

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

Yes, you can. They don't sit in each other completely but they do stack for storage.

Yes, you could stack them, but I don't recommend it. They would not stack securely enough for my comfort.

You would only be able to out 2 of the cubes on each shelf. There is a 'lip' on the shelf for stopping anything falling off, and there is a 'lip' on the sides. Good idea with the cubes!

I believe they can be stacked. You'd have to mount them flush against each other, which would still allow for cord management through the back silver bar. Good luck!
