This rack is made of very heavy gauge steel. It is very rugged and very easy to assemble. It may help to have a second set of hands to put it together. I love that StarTech included some cable management hooks! Very helpful! The price is excellent. Would buy a second rack if needed. I looked at other open frame racks and StarTech's was the only one that came with everything I needed and then some. Plus it is a full size 42u rack.





Quality unit, versatile, good price. Mesh all around allows good airflow.

Well built and heavy-duty Well vented for the passage of cooling air Dimensions are precise






- Sturdy Rack - Wheels are incredibly well-made with greased bearings - Looks good, sweet red "SR" Logo on the front. - The fasteners are super sturdy


Fairly easy to put together - easy to increase depth with minimal load. Can increase depth to insane amount. Sturdy materials. Fair amount of cage nuts, screws and cable mgmt. pieces to start you off. Nice height for putting something on top. Decent casters. Nice price. Looks better in person than in images.


The rack comes with the shelf, the fan, and the PDU (Power Delivery Unit) pictured, which is great. The 12U size gives me more than enough room with what I needed to put in there, and gives room for later additions. Item came with a broken foot, but I immediately reached out to their support team. They apologized and quickly sent out a replacement item. I received that item within less than a week (they are in Canada, I'm in the US.)
