Better Book Crate

Shelves built from crates have the huge advantage that they can be disassembled, moved, stored and assembled, leaving the contents (books, CDs, DVDs, …) in the crates. This makes moving much easier and cheaper than de-shelving books, placing them in separate boxes, disassembling the shelves, moving everything, building shelves and shelving books. However, none of the existing crates allows building a sturdy shelf. They start to cave in or lean once the third layer is stacked on top. Many crates can also not be carried easily once filled. Some crates are too large making them too heavy when filled. Many crates do not protect contents from dust or dirt, which is important for storing crates.
