## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect home studio rack! Sturdy! Easy access!
*by J***G on September 11, 2024*

I am very happy with this 12U open frame rack. I am using it in a home music studio to house my audio equipment and it is perfect because it is sturdy and strong so I am not worried about the safety of my gear and also having it be open framed makes it really easy to make routing changes and plug things in different ways. Well worth it! Will get another one when I have more gear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid as a rock
*by J***R on May 19, 2024*

Easy assembly. I had no problem with the mounting clips included.Solid platform for heavy equipment. My four amps are about 120# totalI may remove the top bracket and add more space. The amps or your other devices will keep the rack solid and stable latterly.The manufacturer recommends against using casters for mobility due to stability issues.. I use furniture pads to slide my rack. Works for me.My local computer guy recommends StarTech brand. Nothing beats it for quality and cost. He gave me a quote of $500+. Yikes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect value for a home server, I prefer this to my 4 post rack
*by M***R on December 4, 2021*

Compared to a full four post rack this is 1000% easier to assemble and has most of the same functionality. I was afraid my longest server chassis (24” depth) would cause it to tilt over but it really doesn’t, and it isn’t even close to doing so. Overall, I’d recommend this to almost anyone over a 4 post/caster rack. It’s just SO much simpler, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I have a 4U UNRAID server chassis, 2U computer chassis, 1U switch, 1U patch panel, and 2U shelf with raspberry pi’s and assorted smarthome hubs. This chassis, unlike my previous 4 post chassis, holds all that AND let’s me maneuver it in and out of small closets and corners to keep it hidden (essential for the wife approval factor). And I even recommend this for people who need their server to roll, and would recommend using a floor dolly or wheeled shelf. The experience will be better than the incredibly heavy 4 post rack for most people.The included mounting screws are solid and plentiful. The finish is sturdy and doesn’t easily develop deep scratches. I do wish the Star Tech logo was an optional sticker, it’s fairly large and a bit garish.
