Hi! Awesome video! What can you I use to make the cardboard boxes stronger? I may want to put heavier items on top of the cardboard boxes/tiers? Thank you so much!

[@EventAnswer]

If you have heavier items, like say a beverage dispenser, you'll want to use something sturdier. I used cardboard boxes as an example, but wood crates, plastic tubs, acrylic boxes, milk crates, apple boxes, pretty much anything sturdy can be used and camouflaged.

I love how you break things down. It helps beginners and takes away some of the snxi. Thank you.
