There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
A quick note on the unit and assembly instructions. The instructions say the USA or 10MM screw side has knockouts for identification. My unit did not. Not a big deal, just use the provided screws to identify the screw sizes. Also, it was stated that the side rails would screw into the side panels. Again, this was not the case. And again, no big deal. But... the side rails come with the top mounting screws installed, at least my 16 rack unit did. Be sure to remove the screws before installing the side rails. Also, it was mentioned in another review that the included blank panel can be mounted in the back towards the center, to give the unit stability. Great tip until you start loading in your equipment.
One final note. If you are not sure what size rack you need, go bigger. Once you start, it is amazing how fast a rack can become filled up with equipment.
No, it doesn't have doors/lids that close the front and back for transport, but that's not really what I needed. Besides this thing is heavy enough (it's steel after all) that you wouldn't really want to transport it anyway.
It really is a nice large rack. 18" deep x 20" wide x 27.5" high, with 12 rack spaces. When you put the thing together (it comes with it's own mini screwdriver included, how cool is that?) you have the option of setting it up to use either US or European rack standards and includes rack screws for all the spaces in both standards (the 4 main supports in the case are a sort of "[" shape. On one side are the US threads, on the other side the European ones).
The entire thing is finished with this nice black powder coat that looks like it could take a good bit of abuse, and the top is a very thick and solid surface. I can put my drink or something on it without worrying about spilling something and it ruining the equipment underneath.
There was one problem with the rack though, and it's the ONLY reason it didn't get 5 stars, and that's because some of the screws are near impossible to get in unless you drill out some of the holes.
I think this is because during manufacturing the holes are drilled so the screws will fit perfectly, however the thickness of the powder coat paint results in the holes being just a hair too small for some of the screws.
This is a very easy thing to fix by using a drill with a bit that just barely doesn't fit in the hole. Just go over the hole once, removing the paint and making the hole a tad larger, and the screws will go in no problem. I found this out the hard way by accidentally stripping two screws. Most of the thing goes together VERY easily, and I only notices this problem on the holes located around the lid/top of the case. So if you are putting one together and things get a bit too hard to turn DON'T FORCE IT, you'll just strip the head of the screw.
This is a very minor issue though, and to spite it I would buy another one of these racks in a heart beat if I needed (I really do love it), but I also understand that not everyone may have the tools or ability to address this issue so I thought it was worth mentioning.
Perhaps mine just ran into an over zealous painter during production. It's not a big deal.

It's far better than I thought would be.
Just be careful not to over torque the screws as it's not needed. Hand tight is fine.
Please also be sure to check the orientation of the side panels, as you have to select between Metric and Imperial threads. Go easy and you'll love it.
