has anyone tried to stack these up and what did you guys do to make it stable? Did it last long to stay in place? Thanks

These are some of the best I have used. The problem is if you get weeds outside your box they creep into the bed and hard to get out. I have not tried to stack them and do not think that would work but for a nice look they are excellent.

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.

I have not tried that. However, the tier does not seem as steady to stack one on top of the other. I hope I was able to help.Jasmin

great product & very stable, however, I don't know if stable enough to stack safely around children.

Sorry, but in my personal opinion -- no. When they are stacked they are kind of shaky. Not by much, but I would not want to put something heavy on top of them.

I personally do not stack mine. They are fragile. Plus, they are not all exactly the same dimension. They don't easily "fit" in one another. They're beautiful, but high maintenance!

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, I bought two and stacked them. You just leave the bottom piece off of the top one as per instructions in the manual. Hope this helps. But they do recommend securing them.

Do you mean stacking one of them on top of the other? I have not done this but it seems that because of the rotating piece at the bottom,stacking one on the other may not be stable enough.

I wouldn't trust the durability to stack it. I tried to put more than a potted plant on mine and it collapsed. The pegs that are supposed to fit snug on the holes tend to slide right through. Hope that helps.

I didn't stack...I bought wood that was he height of the brackets....6" I think. I've actually used two sets of these.. One set I put on the top like the picture, the other I put on with upside down and it worked just as well. Thy do work great either way! All you need is a drill to sink the screws. Assembles in minutes!!

we have these and have no problem with them stacked on each other. We have 4 of them and have them stacked by 2's. We do have it secured to the wall and it has pegs with it so you can stack

I haven't tried to purchase extra risers. Since mine came with two sets of risers for each side and they stacked on top of each other, I assume you could stack more; however, I would worry about how stable it would be with additional risers.

They will stack but they don't fit neatly like some other brands. They tend to balance on top of each other, if that makes sense.

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.

Yes, they will nest together for stability. I have not attempted to stack them, so I don't know if that would be advisable.

No, they would not stack well.....and you can make them into a good chair if you put in your own sheet metal screws in the underbar. Now, it is sturdy, where before it collapsed on us.....it just needs some TLC to be a safe product. Enjoy.
