Don't put anything on top - otherwise, great!

These are great for lightweight things - nothing too heavy. You can put the heaviest items in the bottom drawer. You can't fill the upper drawers with heavy paper, for instance, as that will bow the drawers and make them difficult to open. As long as you put nothing heavier than a pound or two on top, these are great. I'm sure they can be stacked two high if you keep the load light. Unsure about more than that.
Drawers are the perfect size for 8 1/2 X 11 letter paper. Keeps copy /printer paper tidy and accessible. Efficiently separates no hole, 3 hole and "Draft" paper for easy use. I stack 2 sets. My colored paper goes in the 2nd set
I have a small dresser beside my bed as a sort of night stand, and I've had one of these Sterilite units on top of it for about a year. The top drawer holds pens, pencils, and small office supplies, the middle drawer holds a hairbrush, deodorant, etc, while the bottom drawer holds miscellaneous items that would otherwise be clutter. This unit does a great job at keeping everything contained and organized. One problem is that I keep a small CD player on top, weighing no more than 3-4 pounds, and the top of the unit is starting to bow down. This makes it hard to open and close the top drawer. No worries, though, as the unit isn't really meant for holding weight on top. It's still a great piece although I'd love to see it available in better colors.
I use two of these side by side to store all my makeup, segregated by product. I love that they are see through and I can easily identify which drawers my products are in. They are great for organization of any small items. The only downfall is that if the drawer gets heavy it can not be pulled out all of the way without bowing, but it is very minor. I would love to have these in every room of my house.
I have three of these guys in my craft room, and they hold everything! Easy to label and save a ton of space in a room that definitely has a lack of it. I do wish the drawers had a snugger fit on the tracks, though, and less flexible plastic on the drawers to hold more weight, but overall still a great product.
