How to hack a Sterilite drawer unit

Two Sterilite Wide 3-drawer Units stacked atop one another wasn't going fit the shelves in my scrapbooking room, but only placing one would leave so much empty and unused space. So I hacked them to make a 5-drawer unit maximizing the space. Here's how!
BTW - These are the Sterilite Wide drawers that fit 12"x12" paper, ideal for scrapbooking. I've posted about it at www.gollygi.com.

And, why didn't I think of this before??? Genius.

[@russblakeman5568]

Crap it never dawned on me that the frame was separate sections. We bought some closeout 3 drawer units at the local Dollar General for $4 today and after I saw this the 9 drawers (3 of the 3 drawer units) are now a 9 drawer stack that's 1/2" shorter than just setting the 3 on each other. No more worry about them slipping off of each other.

[@RespectFalseIcons]

does it work with sterilite drawer carts as well?

[@KeishaCoffey2011]

Does this work on carts also?

[@christainaguilar6197]

I work at sterilite and I’ve always done this I even do it with my sons clothes drawer so we can fit more

[@sylvialmartel]

will this work for the big 4 drawer roller chest, i need then to be be 2 drawer each

[@splenderdo7939]

Great idea! Thank you.

[@er2593]

Awesome sauce! Thank you so much

[@Jay-ti4xm]

Does it work for bigger ones

[@jessicaolmstead4069]

This was such a good idea! It just didnt work for the smaller ones that hold printer paper :( because the individual drawer sections dont snap apart they're just one whole piece :(

[@rosettamcleod5328]

Thanks..always go to TH-cam to learn something new.

[@TheEgg185]

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

[@taraherdman1585]

Thank you so much

[@lilimalilima5815]

super but from where you got it

[@lovelydiva06]

Would this be possible for the wider 3 drawer carts to make them taller and also does anyone have a hack from keeping the top of these sterilize storage carts from sinking in in the middle when you put things on top cause mind do that and I hate, any solutions would be appreciated

[@areliperez3767]

lovelygeminibren right?
That's what I'm looking for... my drawers look so cave in, that I'm tempted to take the tops off lol

[@SonnyLovebird]

i love it i have on but its not wide love those drawers *heart*

[@IWH777]

NOW HOW DO YOU KEEP THEM FROM COMING APART WHEN YOU WANT TO MOVE THEM....???
MINE ARE OLD AN LOOSE AN I DONT HAVE A CLUE HOW TO STOP THEM FROM FALLING APART ON ME😢😢😢

[@makaylaunique]

thank u so much !

[@ariebirb]

thanks!

[@samantharosas5121]

Ooh couldn't you make a vanity out of this

[@sixpackbinky]

But why did you end up with only 5 drawers , you started with 6 ?

[@yungparkinglot3619]

Gently?

[@vileantichildrapist2257]

its kinda gonna break anyway i tried. the tabs will bend either way

[@stephaniesummers7452]

BEST EVER!

[@Mamiivibes]

They have a 5 drawer on that would of been easier

[@timafiggy]

yeah these are cute until they are used as furniture that's when there's a problem. they are addicting. i only have it for my christmas decorations

[@kalezuki9231]

Me , with my latest roll around , tried twice to get the wheels on all by my self ....hoping they stay on this time : Yep.... Well , I became addicted to clear storage / organizers in general.....and I adore furniture with wheels , much easier for me to move. I still get color containers some times but usually prefer some thing I don't have to label.

[@rebeccar3986]

shut up and take my money!

[@mattscott5671]

Why is everyone so moved by this? I'm pretty sure that that's why they are made the way they are made, so you can do that.

[@Anna-tc6rz]

Not many people realize it tho lol

[@williampike6813]

this isn't a hack, they're made that way.

[@RBRM3]

That's a hack? Lol

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Yeah, next thing you know, they'll be calling playing with Lego a hack.

[@Anna-tc6rz]

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH not many people realize they unsnap like that. I was just looking for a way to keep the top from caving in so I could set stuff ontop of it

[@Jerk-face]

Thats not a hack, they are literally designed to do this.
