Storing new lego sets - shelf overhang

Yinchuan · 2016-01-13T20:18:07.000Z

Hey all- My house has pretty deep closet shelves. To this point I have been able to stack three to four sets one in front of the other (so essentially you only see the front set). This has worked out but has the disadvantages of not utilizes full space potential because storing horizontally take up about 20" per set, and also I can only see the front set. i would like to turn the sets sideways, increasing storage space dramatically, allowing me to see all of my sets, and only taking up a few inches of horizontal space per set. The problem is that by doing this I will overhang the shelf. If I stack the set vertically, the overhang is only 2-3 inches, but much more weight. If I stack of horizontally, I can more evenly distribute the weight, but the overhang is more like 6-8 inches. i really am in no mood to damage my entire inventory with box creasing. Could this damage my sets by having the boxes hang over the edge of the shelf? I will NOT be putting any other boxes or weight on top of the one box. Thoughts? Thank you!
