Do you have a tiny closet? No closet at all? Getting ready isn’t any fun when there’s no organized space for your clothes. But don’t fret—there are some great solutions you can utilize to maximize your tiny closet space, or even create a closet when you don’t have one!

I am considering purchasing an ASKVOLL 3-drawer chest. The dimensions work well for me, but it doesn’t provide as much storage space as I require. My question is whether I can stack one ASKVOLL unit on top of another? If so, I would definitely want to secure the top unit to the bottom unit so the top unit would not fall over. It is not for a small child, so I don’t need to secure the pieces to the wall. I just want to make sure there is some structural stability to the overall piece if I attempt to open one of the drawers in the top unit. I was thinking about some screwing in some pieces of metal hardware on the back of the unit that I can connect the units together. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks! ~ by Scotty81 *** Hi Scotty I don’t see any reason why the ASKVOLL can’t be stacked. But yes, you would definitely need to secure the top unit to the bottom one.
