Better to go simple. I was planning some complicated things for my rack, but I realised that either way it's not that cheap of parts, and I don't want to be messing up and having to rebuy parts and waste money.

Yeah I suppose it's more of an entertainment center.

Did you use rubber washers like I've seen in some designs, or just steel washers & hex nuts like me? I ask because yours is supporting a lot more weight then mine probably ever will.

Used steel washers and nuts. It's pretty stable even with all my DVDs loaded up on the top. It has a 5th leg that goes down the middle that helps a bit too.
