It would most likely fall
over and have a danger of crushing you with what I've got loaded into
them. I certainly wouldn't want to have 10 13" CRTs dumped on me. I
should probably secure them in case of earthquake...
We had wire shelving with simple wall braces survive some earthquakes in
Irvine Ca, so you don't need much but a top level (probably high enough
you don't have to duck when walking behind, if you have them out
from the wall) braces to studs on the wall. I have
also seen very a
very nice installation with a 2 x 6 secured to the studs on the
walls,
and the shelves braced to the studs. Also ran power in conduits, and
wire wire guides for the cabling out from that.
I also built up a couple of rollarounds from 2 x the 6' kits, but using
all the
shelving spaced at 6" intervals to hold plastic bin boxes, and I can take
all my material and work to any place by relocating those units on
rollers.
