I bought this rack to use for CD storage in my dedicated audio room.  I was pleased to find that it came fully assembled and ready to use.  The quality of design, materials, and workmanship is excellent!  I find it to be both attractive and functional, and I really enjoy using it.  However, I do think this rack would benefit from the addition of feet.  It is not very stable on my carpeted floor.  I have it pushed up against a wall, and it leans forward (away from the wall) due to the tack strips underneath the carpet along the wall.  It also will rock back and forth a bit on thickly padded carpet.  This would not be an issue when using the rack on a wood or tiled floor.
