It’s a substantial piece of hardware; you’d expect to see at an industrial supply warehouse, more so than an electronic component outlet, unless you're looking specifically for rack hardware. Departing from its original intended use, rack mounted components, it’s difficult to comprehend alternative uses until you see/ hold it. Call/use it whatever way you like; shelf, platform, bracket, it’s a winner. It’s capable of performing many functions, install it, horizontal right-side up/down - or – vertically. It appears to be surprisingly tough (weight/finish). Attachment points are well engineered. Slots intended for ventilation to serve as readily available attachment points; especially useful when mounted vertically or overhead. Mounted horizontally right-side up, reversed, it provides a lip to hold small items from dropping; mounted vertically, its accompanying slots offer numerous anchor points for all kinds of stuff; i.e Bungee hooks. It’s substantial nature accommodates a myriad of one-off applications, i.e., vertical/overhead mount for 160 degree convex mirror. Use it as a platform for IP cameras with magnetic bases. Benefiting from a plug strip (tidy things up), amazing how well it’d suit it is for this application. Additionally, if you're not aware of the newest generation of magnets, Google N52, it’s mind boggling what a substantial base like this is capable of accomplishing when joined to powerful magnets.

I purchased this rack for my home server setup. It's definitely a sturdy rack and well constructed. 3/4 of the way through the build, I noticed i was missing one of the top bracket pieces. I contacted Rosewill regarding getting a replacement piece. They said they couldn't send out a single replacement piece, but they could send a 2nd new rack & I was to remove any pieces that I needed & return the rest using a preprinted UPS label. The 2nd rack arrived within 2 days. Excellent customer service!

A very sturdy shelf – I can't imagine it failing in any normal usage. The two unit version has, of course, two screw holes on either side, and more metal on the side supports reaching to the back of the shelf, providing extra support for heavy stuff. The finish looks like a powder coat, which will be more scratch resistant than standard paint. The ventilation slots can double as attachment points, if needed.

Good, strong rack. 25U is ample space for a home lab, and that is resizable (length-wise) is a definite plus.

Solidly constructed: I'm confident will hold my (expensive) equipment Came with maybe a dozen cage nuts

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.

We've used this to terminate 25 Cat6 cables in a patch panel, and mount two switches in our comms room. It's easy to mount to wall. Uprights can be easily moved back or forward, and the positions are marked on them. The 24" depth allows for most switches and similar gear. It comes with enough mounting hardware; the door can be mounted left or right, the side panels come off for easy installation, cables can enter through back, bottom or top panel. The cabinet has excellent ventilation: side panels and front door are perforated; optional set of fans can easily be installed in roof.

-Durable powdercoat -Sturdy -Rack nuts are neither too loose nor too tight. Can be removed without a tool, but they don't fall out.

Easy assembly, depth automatically set correctly by face down assembly instructions. A 19" Dell standard width monitor fit no problem. You could go larger if you want to avoid small gaps on the sides.
