Sounds like an oversight. These are from Rockler, and how I mounted
them:

I'm going with the oversight reason :-). Your method looks nice. I've
done them like that before and will this time.

For those who mentioned adjusting from below, the bookcase is flush to
the floor. And tilting it back would require moving it out from the wall
(after disconnecting it from a wall anchor), adjusting, and moving it
back.

Holes through the bottom shelf is easily the best solution.

I recently re-read a thread on the decline in publishing quality that I
participated in in another group some time back. It was on model
railroads, but the same principle applies.

Management doesn't seem to realize that proofreaders did a lot more than
correct spelling errors. Or they say they can't afford that level of
accuracy due to the decline in readership, ignoring the fact that the
error level contributes to that decline.

I drove past a large reader board yesterday where "too" was spelled
"to". I realize there are a lot of people who have problems with
spelling and/or using the right word, but most don't display their errors
in letters 12" high :-).



FWIW, McMaster Carr sells the same leveling feet that Swingman pointed out
for under $15 for a set of 4. IIRC the Rockler set is considerably more
expensive.
