> 24 hourThis rack was super easy to install. It’s very sturdy, but just make sure you install it via the wood studs. This is perfect for my needs.

> 24 hourIve spent a decade designing and building various sized racks of computer equipment. I didnt need much for my home network setup but also didnt want to pay an arm and a leg for one either. This was super affordable, had U locations on both rails, included mounting hardware, and is more than sturdy enough. One complaint is the support rail used on top or bottom of rack does cut into the top/bottom U location, so if mounting 3 2U servers, it likely would give you issues.

> 24 hourAssuming you mounted it properly to studs, this thing is incredibly sturdy. Should be able to support any equipment no problem.

> 24 hourThis panel is exactly what I needed in my home server room to organize all of my data lines. I also bought a number of inserts for the panel box and everything fit perfectly. Very pleased with the purchase.

> 24 hourNot sure why, but was expecting some assembly when it arrived. I was pleasantly mistaken. Came fully assembled, and more specifically everything (except for removable crossbar bar) was solidly welded. Crossbrace does interfere with top slot for anything deeper than a few inches but it’s easily removed and in my opinion unnecessary if you have a 1u product properly secured in the top slot anyway. Crossbrace can be moved to lower side of case in four pre-existing holes. All six slots are numbered. My only complaint would it comes with 3 sets of screws/retainers for mounting your hardware into unit. Would be nice if they’d just go ahead and provide enough screws/retainers for all six slots rather than just three of them. Mark the MSRP up about $0.99 and they’d cover their cost of providing them. I’m OCD, so having all the visible screws/retainers matching would’ve been nice.

> 24 hourThe product is sturdy and easy to install but openings in the back could be bigger. trying to fit 37 cat6a cables to a 48 port patch panel took some dremel work to modify opening to accommodate for cable management. perhaps some punch through similar to what an electrical circuit breaker box has to easily provide for more access for additional cables? but overall great product for price but could easily see myself paying a little extra for added conveniences of install.

> 24 hourI was pleasantly surprised by this rack. Frankly I expected something more flimsy based on a couple other reviews, but its actually nicely made and quite sturdy especially when you put in a few components. I have not mounted it on the wall just yet - but I expect that to go easily. Pros: - Sturdy - Powder coat finish - even. No sharp edges. Cons: - Only comes with (12) M6 screws/nuts which basically gives you 3 components you can mount in this rack. I would have at least put 20 or 24 because you are likely to fill it up completely and not a large cost over all (perhaps a few pennies?). Plan to get a few more screw/nuts if you have more than 3 items going in this rack. There are a few options on amazon (unfortunately most come in a 25 or 50 pack ... and are silver not black ... at least that I could find). I bought this for managing the nerve center on my new house still under construction ... so it will house my modem, router, a switch, NAS, power strip, patch panel and with a bit of room for a 1U NAS/Server down the road - tbd. Will update after the install but expect this to be a winner.

> 24 hourVery happy with this rack. Much stronger than I expected, even without the top brace. The square holes are cut perfectly to allow for easy installation of cage nuts and mounting holes are perfectly 16 on center. Was also really pleased with the level of packaging in the box to ensure that there was no damage in transit. In the rack is: 1U AC Infinity 10 shelf Cable Matters 24 slot keystone patch panel IFJF wire management 24 Port TP-Link gigabit switch 1U AC Infinity blank plate Tripp Litte 12 socket PDU

> 24 hourThis rack overall is fine. Its not the sturdiest rack and you really need some good sturdy devices mounted but for the money its fine. I used it with some AC Infinity Vented Cantilever shelves and with those it was rigid enough where I wasnt worried about too much warping. Next time around though I will probably get something a little more solid.
