All the weight is supported by a cleat which holds the units 12" above the floor leaving storage room underneath. For added support the fixed shelves are also screwed in to studs wherever possible with pocket holes drilled underneath and out of sight. It's been holding up very well now for just over 2 years. I wouldn't climb all over it, but it holds everything I need. I'm swamped with work this week, but I'll try to get some more pictures together to post by this weekend.
Thanks,

Jim:
I think that's a clever and good way to go. I do think that the pocket screws are enough to hold the units against the wall with the wieght supported by the bottom cleat.
By the way, the built-ins look great -- an excellent job.
