just trying to help Herb optimize the design, particularly since he said he is experiencing movement in levels.Here are quotes from Ken. Draw your own conclusion:
"use spike decoupling at the floor as well as at the support shelf interface [as this] presents a small surface area for airbourne intrusion/energising."
It really is a very different design from the flexy. In the flexy you have common vertical supports that transmit vibration vertically to each shelf.

The legs on the black Lack are hollow, which stumped for a while until I realized the interior measurement is just right for a 1 3/4" dowel to fit in.Then I started to waffle between just using some nice dowels - like nicely stained maple would look nice; but after seeing the black laminate legs in place I think they look good.
There is an added complication in that Ikea has recently decided to save maybe 2 cents per leg by not securing the screw into the leg with glue, so that once you screw a leg into the top, if you try to undo the leg, the screw stays in the top instead of coming out with the leg (the screws stay in the legs in my older Lacks).
This leaves you with a real pain of a job to take the screws out of the tops so I figure I'll just leave the Lack legs on - for the dowels it will be a simple slide in, mark off level with bottom of Lack leg, cut to correct length, and then set a spike in the bottom of the dowel as per the Lyon instructions.
What I've also done is glued down some metal washers on the table tops (Alene's Tacky Glue seems to hold them down really well while giving a good window for adjusting before the glue sets). When the legs are spiked the points will go into the donut hole area and (hopefully) the washers will prevent any disasters.
For now, the hollow leg walls fit around the washers and are prevented from sliding off the tops completey by the washers stopping them.
It would still be great to come up with some sort of way to keep the cats off. They are sneaky about it but I can't get rid of them.

Hey Herb - we have five cats and they USED to get on the stereo rack.Using a squirt bottle to give a quick spritz if they get near the rack works wonders.
hi grailer, that used to work - until they started to get curious about the bath and gradually started to take baths at the same time as humans.maybe I'll try the golf tee contraption
