Hi Winston,
Thanks for your suggestions. There are no screws, just wood and glue. If you look closely at the taller supports, the lowest cable support is spaced farther apart than the upper supports. This is to keep power cables farther away from signal cables. Of course, anyone making these is free to "go nuts" and make the spacing anything he or she might want.

I think the weak link is the junction of the dowel and base, where there is just glue. But as long as there is little side load, just the vertical weight of the cables, it should be strong enough. Reinforcing this area, maybe with 2 small wood triangles at 45 degree angles, glued to the base and dowel, would be a simple solution.

Happy listening!

Regards,
JerryS
