No, you don't. You can grab games just as easily from the front with a
properly padded dolly. I do it all the time, as do other collectors I know
(unless this is just a Chicago area thing...).

2 inches? You're dog must have a REAL bladder problem :-). You can adjust leg
levelers to nearly that height as well.

Once again, if this is your concern, you can adjust the leg levelers higher,
but to really address the problem you should look into preventing disherwasher,
toilet overflows, etc (Or does everyone modify their basement furnature after
some flooding occurs??)

To each their own, I guess. For me, I think it would bug me to be playing
Lunar Lander and noticing the game roll back and forth when pushing the thrust
handle. As for having to move my games with a dolly, I suppose I'll just chalk
it up as good exercise for me :-)
