I use two Ikea Besta units stacked, put castors on the bottom one so it’s easy to move. Given my constant fiddling I always need access. Hadn't thought about castors. My kit is very heavy so wouldn't work for me Knew there would be an option missed on the poll ! Some of mine ain't light. :-). I put eight castors on to spread the weight, each under the vertical supports front and back so weight is transferred directly into the floor. For instance, had my Krell KSA100 on the top yesterday, that is one heavy beast! Had a buyer for it so tried it yesterday to make sure it was ok- hadn't fired it up in ages, but it's down on one channel. :-(

Yes sod’s law, nothing obvious I can see.

My two racks are about a 18 inches clear of the side wall. I prefer this as each rack has a TT on top, I find that a TT too close to a wall boundary can pick up vibrations. Possibly this would be the case too with electronics but to a lesser extent.

The more I learn the more I find I don't know It won’t make a difference in every case but if you sit or stand near a boundary, often you perceive a significant boost in bass energy. My room is particularly problematic as it’s nearly square (except for a bay window) and the ceiling height is half the room length (very bad too). Standing waves have needed a lot of work in this room.

My rack has been 6" from the wall behind it for around 18 months, it was much closer which was a mistake. I have moved components and cables around several times over the last 3 years and had to take units out the from the front and it was often very tricky to plug them up. I now have reasonable access from one side to the rear of all shelves and can move components and cables more easily, and can hoover behind occasionally.

I probably have enough space at the back however I can't get in either left or right side and am still thinking about how I can fix this
