Who defines it
No document linked here defines either word. The FTC’s guide for small business says advertisers need objective evidence behind their claims. For a rack that expands, the plainest evidence would be its two widths, and one listing here prints them.
What the listings do with it
The racks that print expandable
state their tiers, as every rack here does, but only one of the four gives the range: from 18 to 33 inches
. The others print an adjustable width
or adjustable storage
and leave the figures out.
Stackable
turns up on fixed racks and on a cube organizer. A stacked height would be the figure that settles it, and no listing prints one. The listings that give a full set of dimensions for a stackable piece give them for a single unit, not for a stack.
The organizer that prints stackable
is the only bookcase listing to use any of the six words this site tracks, and it also describes itself for a dorm or teen room
. That is the listing’s wording. This site does not extend it into anything else.
What the word does not promise
How far it expands or how high it stacks. The word describes a motion, not a distance.
The figure behind this word has its own count: Assembled dimensions.
Narrowing this word to a single category is the job of Word Check.
