Pros

Comes with 3 sets of screws/retainers for mounting your hardware into unit. They are extremely modular and come in different sizes depending on your needs. Comes with all things needed (bolts and nuts for the equipment) it only comes with three sets o...  Read More

The steel is solid, and well powder coated. Overall, satisfied with my purchase. Looking at purchasing another one here soon.

The only negative is that i wouldn't trust the drywall anchors that the provided with the rack. Mounting holes are 16 on center making it easy to mount to the wall studs. There is a cross bar in the top of the shelf so the top 1u is best used for a pa...  Read More



Cons

The included hardware is just 12 screws and 12 cage nuts. Should be at least 24 screws+nuts. The screws for this unit are slightly out of spec which made the client install exceptionally painful as i had a piece of equipment that was only held on with...  Read More

Quality


I find the quality to be great.


Either way, this is a very solid product.


I went overkill (and rather sloppy i'll admit) with the installation.


Same for the shelf that is offered with the rack.

Price

These racks are awesome for the price, couldnt ask for a better deal than these.


It might cost $40 to actually make it.


It's a bit of a tight squeeze for units right next to eachother and the price is not cheap, but it does what it says.

Packaging/appearance


Packaging was great with the unit securely inside a heavy card box.


This was my first time mounting a wall rack of any kind and i found the startech to be very straightforward to install.

Competitiveness


To house my new 8 bay qnap nas.


I’ve loaded it down wel past the manufacturer specs and it’s holds like a champ.


I find startech's decision to only include 3u worth of mounting hardware with a 6u rack a little disappointing especially consi...  Read More


Looking at the mounts the plastic anchors actually broke (never seen that before), and there was less than 10lbs on the rack ( ...  Read More

    I did not use the screws that came with it to mount to wall they would probably be fine but i wanted something heavier duty that i didnt have to second guess so i installed it with 1

    For the money i havent found any that even come close

    The only thing to watch is that your equipment is shallow enough


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Full size ubiquity switches have issues otherwise pieces like the dream machine or the nonpro switches seem to work well


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had to put the support brace on the bottom and flip it around to make use of all my space


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Honestly i dont think the brace is even needed but thats what i did to not have floating pieces and get the full use


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It would just be a litter better if it were enclosed and had a bottom shelf


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I don’t know why these are so expensive
