"Übereinander" is much bettern then "Stapeln", I would consider
"Stapeln" as when one window is put *on*top* of each other with a small
border, as if you take a pile of sheets of paper and put them on a table
tilting them slightly.

And, "Übereinander" is perfectly paralleling "Nebeneinander".

The one means "One above the other", the other "One next to each other"
while "Stapeln" means (to me) "One atop of the other"

Best wishes

LULWORTH (n.)
Measure of conversation. A lulworth defines the amount of the length,
loudness and embarrassment of a statement you make when everyone else
in the room unaccountably stops talking at the same time.
