Suitcases often have rounded edges, convex sides or a protruding
frame that could make it harder for you to stack them vertically.

One advantage they have is that they don't attract thieves as much
as flight cases do. If you make your own, don't make them matt
black. Give them a bad paint job in an "uncool" colour like glossy
white. Cheap oil-based paint is the best because it's water-tight
but, after a couple of years, acquires a yellowish tint that
screams "worthless old junk".
