My new rack from the IKEA Lack TV Stands and Side Tables

So, this is something new to me ! You people are cutting the legs to match your needs ? I like it ! I will need the proper saw !
 
I use a cheap mitre saw and tape two legs together and cut them at the same time. I also wrap the legs in painters tape where i make the cut. It helps prevent the blade from flaking the finish.

I suppose a good mitre saw would be capable of cutting 4 at the same tome.
 
So, I don't like stacking my equipment. I know it's a personal preference, but i don't like the asthetics and I worry it puts too much weight on the bottom units which are invariably my amps.

threeSo after a bunch of research, I decided to put together this rack. I made it from 3 IKEA Lack TV Stands and two Lack End Tables. It accomplishes what I need, it meets with wife approval, and it looks decent. I didn't fille the legs with sand, but I may at a later date. Everything is bolted together to minimize the risk of it collapsing (we have three kids). The long legs have me a bit worried, though.
