Stackable Storage Units

 

Stackable storage is how smart people organize and categorize. Most of us have way too much stuff. In fact, we often have more stuff than we have room to store it. Winter clothes, summer clothes, holiday decorations, collectibles, and those old record albums you just can’t bear to get rid off – it all has to go somewhere. But where? One great solution to this dilemma is stackable storage.

 

What’s stackable storage?

 

 

Stackable storage is just what it sounds like – storage containers that stack on top of each other. What’s so great about stackable storage? Since the containers rest atop one another, they take up less floor space. Think of stackable storage units as skyscrapers. If you use vertical space instead of horizontal space, you’re using only a fraction of the floor space you’d use with traditional storage.

 

Go look into one of your storage closets. Chances are that you have items resting on the floor, and if the closet has a shelf up top, you have more items there. But what about all that space in between that isn’t being utilized? With stackable storage, you can take advantage of all your storage space without wasting an inch!

 

Another great thing about stackable storage is that you can add to it. As you get more stuff, as most of us are wont to do, you can just add another stackable storage container or two.

 

Different types of stackable storage

 

You’ll find a world of stackable storage containers. Most are specifically made to fit snugly together. The top of one container is designed to hold the bottom of the next storage container. Not only does this mean an efficient use of space, it also provides stability.

 

Stackable storage containers are available in several materials. Some are made of plastic, some are made of wood, some are woven from wicker, some are constructed of metal, and others are made of acrylic. Some models have drawers and compartments, and others are more like boxes or cubes. Stackable storage units made of wood often come in attractive finishes with furniture-quality construction. These don’t even have to be hidden in a closet or attic. They’re pretty enough to become part of your décor! The same goes for some of the brightly colored acrylic containers and the richly patterned canvas containers.

 

Another popular type of stackable storage is made of canvas and clear plastic. The clear tops of these containers make finding stored items a snap!

 

Where to use stackable storage

 

You can use stackable storage units just about anywhere – closets, your attic, your garage, and your shop. Place a unit in the kitchen for storing onions and potatoes. Use them as laundry baskets for a quick and easy way of sorting your laundry. Use them as toy boxes or as a safe and organized way to store your craft supplies. The possibilities are practically endless!

 

The price of stackable storage

 

How much does stackable storage cost? That depends on size and construction material. Wooden units are usually the most expensive, with canvas and plastic containers being very inexpensive.

 

To give you an example, plastic stackable storage drawers are usually around $20 each. An oak stackable shoe cabinet can be found for about $90.
