Yes thats what my orig post was referring to. Mine is full size, but came w/brackets that allow it to be stacked. Never stacked. Need the space for safety reason and function so Id like to try but was worried that because they r full size that there could be an issue- which I still havent read that anyone has this setup.. Ive seen the slimmer stackables made for a small closet which I presume are safer as they are smaller. But I like the full size and hope to work w/ it. Otherwise it seems I may just have to consider the smaller stackable or the all-in-one unit that I'm hearing about now.
