- Solid build: this rack will outlive me and will hold anything I want to rack. - Solid fit and finish: the powder coating is top-notch and was free of any blemishes or scratches. This is a downright gorgeous piece of industrial equipment! - Solid packaging: all of the rack pieces were wrapped in heavy-duty bubble wrap, nested snuggly against one another, then double-wrapped tightly with heavy-duty cardboard and plywood pieces at each end. This became very important (see below). - Smart organization: the nuts and bolts for the frame assembly were bagged separately from the nuts and bolts for the casters, which were separate from the bolts for racking stuff, etc. Small touches like this made assembly a no-brainer. - Tools included: the package contained a really nice 10mm combination wrench, 15mm combination wrench, and a Philips screwdriver. I had my own tools but it was nice of them. - Easy to follow assembly instructions. - Wide range of rack depths.

good shelf for non-rack mount items

The cabinet is very solid, looks good, and allows easy access to the front and sides of the rack-mount devices. Both side panels have quick-release latches and lift completely away from the cabinet. Noise levels in my office (3 rack-mount servers, 24 port switch, 3 routers) are GREATLY reduced.

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.

Price, thin but strong metal.
