Boltz CD racks?

I am considering purchasing a Boltz CD rack and am wondering if anyone has experience with these racks on berber carpets? They look like they could easily topple? I know they offer a wall mount stabilizing bar to ensure that this doesn't happen, but I would love to be able to use these without putting any holes in the walls! Any thoughts/experiences would be appreciatedv - thanks!

While weak on carpet descriptions, I can say the 600 rack I have freestands on carpet, 5-6 " from the wall.

The weight of the CDs--mine is full--keeps it pretty well balanced--it wouldn't tip unless a BIG force came against it--the rack's feet keep it steady.

The "cheap" carpet in my sound room has a texture to it and is a tight weave--I believe it may even be a faux berber.

I love Boltz's CD racks and I had one with a rather plush carpet. I kept it up against a wall and it was fine. I now use the wall stabilizer and it's not going anywhere.

I have a double CD600, never used the wall brackets. The rack stands flush against a wall and stands so solid that I never had to worry about it falling over. Few racks can hold so many CDs and I am happy with mine.

I've been using a well loaded 300 cd Boltz rack on berber carpet with no problem at all using only the feet. If I had kids that pulled on things or lived anyplace you could expect an earthquake, I'd use the wall fastener for additional security.

I ordered the CD600 rack on 2 different occasions. They both came with one bent, or curving side panel. I returned both.
