Extremely well made and designed equipment shelf Has ventilation cut-outs for air circulation Very strong, is not flimsy at all Comes with everything you need to mount the unit Your equipment will not slide off this shelf or come crashing down

For the price, this is really a great rack. Heavy duty feel to the construction. It all goes together without much pain.

Very sturdy No sharp edges Mounting hardware included Rugged Paint job

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.

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

-Solid construction -Nice powder-coat finish -Interlocking segments made for easy construction -captive nuts -holes for standard 2" stem casters in all 4 corners (also had holes drilled for plate casters further in) -All in all well worth the money. I can see this lasting a long time.




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

This is a great rack. Easy to assemble, very heavy construction, well finished and with a large supply of high-quality black hardware. The rack is really well-priced given all the accessories that are included... 50 rack screws and captured nuts, heavy castors and screw-down feet, cable organizers, etc. When compared with other bare racks where all of this needs to be bought separately, it really is a fantastic deal. I bought it for a new office I am outfitting, but would like to get one for home as well. A very professional piece.

This product is a budget frinedly option that allows complete customization when it comes to expansion. Also the specs on this page list this product with a weight capacity of 39lbs but the Startech website says this model is rated at a 200lbs capacity. It is easy to see why when you see the structure, this is heavy duty metal, not flimsy at all. This page weight may be referring to the producy weight itself but you can get all the spcs on the Startech website. Recommended product.


Nice, modular enclosure. Two locking panels per side (4 total) make it easy to remove and access equipment from the side. Rear doors are split for easy access in tight locations. Vertical rack rails are easily moved front-back for adjustable depth. Rack comes with extra vertical (removable) rails in the rear for power strip / cable route mounting (note that these are specially built for this type of application and are not the standard rack-rails). Lots of alternative mounting points on sides, top, and the special rails in the rear (even on the sides of the standard rails). Top is mostly covered with plenty of cable-routing options. Casters are multi-directional (not just front-back like a refrigerator), making it easy to roll around.

- Looks good (even if I'm the only one who looks at it as it's in my basement). - Can be locked for security. - Side panels are removable when unlocked for easy access. - Roomy enough in the back to access power plugs and the like. 6U height is enough for my household equipment (switch, security camera recorder and a battery backup). - Somewhat pricey but worth it.
