Imagine a room, where boxes (cubes) are to be safely piled in the far left
corner.
For stability reasons, stacking height should not increase away from the
corner.in how many ways can n boxes be piled?

Table[Plus@@(Length[pilings[#]]&/@Partitions[w]),{w,16}]
{1,3,6,13,24,48,86,160,282,500,859,1479,2485,4167,6879,11297}
=A000219
--------------------------------------
Q: in how many ways, taking x-y reflections as equivalent?
Table[Length at Union[ Flatten[ {#,flip[#]}&/@
(Flatten[pilings/@Partitions[n],1]),1] ] ,{n,16}]
{1,3,6,13,24,48,86,160,282,500,859,1479,2485,4167,6879,11297}
=A000219
--------------------------------------
Q: in how many ways, taking x-y-z-x rotations as equivalent?
Table[Length@ Union[ rotapiling/@
(Flatten[pilings/@Partitions[n],1])  ],{n,16}]
{1,1,2,5,8,16,30,54,94,168,287,493,831,1391,2293,3769}
I am sorry, but the terms
2,5,8,16,30,54
do not match anything in the table
--------------------------------------
Q: in how many ways, taking both symmetries as equivalent?
