I love the adjustable depth feature, which accommodates various equipment sizes. The price point offers fantastic value, but I felt the assembly instructions could use more clarity for first-time users.”

“The VEVOR 12U Open Frame Server Rack has been a reliable addition to my setup. Its sturdy construction provides a stable platform, and the open frame design allows for great airflow. I appreciate the easy assembly with clear instructions. However, I did notice the lack of accessories included, which meant I had to purchase some separately.”

“I had a few challenges with assembly, but once I figured it out, the rack turned out to be a good investment. I recommend paying close attention to the assembly steps. The weight capacity mentioned seems a bit optimistic, but for my home use, it’s been perfect for organizing my equipment.”

"I purchased the 22U model of this network rack and I'm very impressed. It arrived well packaged with no damage at all. The instructions were well illustrated and easy to follow. The cabinet feels heavy duty and all screw holes lined up perfectly during assembly. I noticed a slight issue with the door touching the frame, but it’s easily manageable. The fans are quite loud, but they can be replaced. Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase and would recommend it!"

"After reading mixed reviews, I decided to order the 22U Server Cabinet. I was pleased to find it arrived double boxed, indicating they might have improved their packaging. The instructions could definitely use more clarity, as I found myself backtracking a bit during assembly. While I think the structural integrity could be better, it meets my networking needs just fine. The fans are loud, but I plan to swap them out. Given the affordable price, I’m satisfied with my choice."

"I found this network rack to be a solid choice despite some initial concerns about quality. I love how strong it feels once fully loaded with equipment. The assembly process was a bit tedious, but manageable. The included fans are definitely noisy, but that’s expected.

“I was really pleased with my 18U unit. The build quality exceeded my expectations for the price. I had an issue with the fan, but customer service resolved it quickly. The assembly took a bit of time, but the notes I followed made it straightforward.”

"I was really impressed with this rack. All parts arrived in good condition, and despite the thin packaging, the sturdy metal parts were fine.

Overall, I'm very happy with the solid rack and its adjustability!"

"Assembling this rack took quite a bit of time, especially since I did it alone. However, the instructions were very clear, and most of the tools were included, which made it easier. The rack is incredibly sturdy and works great for my setup!"

"This rack served as a great solution for mounting my batteries. It seems sturdy enough for 600 lbs, but I did have to add a steel plate for support. The assembly process was straightforward, and I was impressed with the quality and tolerances of the parts!"

"I was very pleased when my server rack arrived; it exceeded my expectations. The rack is solid and relatively easy to put together. My rack mount servers fit perfectly without any issues. There were a few minor installation hiccups, such as needing my own screwdriver and some challenges with the bottom tray pieces, but they were easy to resolve. Overall, I feel my servers are now happy sitting in a rack where they belong."

"When my shipment arrived, the box was literally falling apart, with gaping holes. I was amazed that none of the parts were missing. Although one corner of the cabinet door was slightly damaged, I was able to bend it back to an unnoticeable point. I decided to keep it since I needed to install it immediately for work. I'm very satisfied with the construction and sturdiness of the cabinet, despite the plastic door locks."

"As a retired Network Operations Chief, I can say this is one of the best racks I've seen for purchase. The quality is outstanding, and it was simple to assemble. The rack is very sturdy, with no rattling. While it may be a little more expensive, you truly get what you pay for, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality rack."

"I was looking for an affordable rack to replace my bookshelf turned network rack when I found this product from EchoGear. The price was appealing, especially with the accessories included. When I opened the package, I was impressed by how well packed it was. The thick steel frame felt sturdy and the glossy paint was a nice touch. I found the assembly process to be straightforward, and once everything was tightened, it felt solid. Overall, I highly recommend this rack for home or office use!"

"I picked up this rack as a free-standing solution for my Omada home installation. It is very sturdy and easy to assemble. I appreciate that it came with all the necessary front rack mounting screws. I wanted to get my review up quickly, so I got a bit creative with the wiring and AP setup!"

"This is my third rack from Echo Gear. I'm consistently impressed by the build quality and ease of assembly. It feels solid and holds my network and home theater equipment securely. Echo Gear is my go-to for racks, and I would definitely recommend them!"

"I found this NavePoint rack to be a solid choice for my home lab. The glass door allows for easy visibility, and the cooling fan keeps my equipment running smoothly. Although assembly was a bit tricky, once set up, it feels very sturdy. I'm overall very happy with this purchase!"

"Purchasing this enclosure was a great decision! The design is well thought out, and I appreciate how easy the instructions were to follow. There were no missing parts, and everything fit together perfectly. The fan operates quietly, which is a plus. My only minor issue was the small bolts and nuts for the rails; they can be a bit cumbersome to handle, especially when the rear panel is on. I recommend waiting to install the side panels until after mounting to reduce weight during setup."

"I bought this rack to replace my old entertainment center, and it has exceeded my expectations. It’s well built and fits my Onkyo receiver and Direct TV box perfectly. The cooling fan efficiently keeps everything cool even during the hot Kentucky summers. Overall, I’m thrilled with the look and functionality!"

"I had a whole afternoon to set it up, but it was worth it. Quality is good and the front glass panel looks beautiful. I was impressed with the quick and helpful customer service."

"I found Sysrack while redoing my home lab. I'm the Head of Infrastructure at my company, so I know my cabinets. This one is a great addition to my test setup. It came with two sturdy shelves and a PDU, which I thought was fantastic."

"I received three boxes for the 27U rack, all well protected. Assembly was straightforward and took less than an hour. SysRack's customer service was fantastic; they even called me to check on my purchase!"

"I installed this on 16-inch wood studs. My daughter easily assembled the rack while I worked on another part of the project. I provided her with a power screwdriver to speed up the process. Instead of using the included bracket, I placed a CyberPower Surge Protector at the top for extra room. I also made a plywood top shelf since it doesn't come with one. The included shelves are of good quality, and I appreciate the Velcro straps and adjustable shelf stops. I mounted a few devices using the threaded holes and screws since I couldn't use the square holes. With my two amps, receiver, and Blu-ray player, this rack is very sturdy and holds my heavy A/V equipment well. Once assembled and wall-mounted, it has no flex. For lighter networking gear, I could consider a less expensive option, but this rack suits my A/V needs perfectly."

"This rack is well-made and solid. All my equipment fits perfectly. Assembly was straightforward with not too many parts, just a lot of bolts to tighten, which is reassuring for its sturdiness. It arrived in a comically large number of boxes, which means it was well protected. I also appreciate the two included shelves for hardware not in rack mount format. It's a good price for a free-standing rack, especially at $299 in July 2023. I recommend adding casters since it can hold 600 lbs; moving it is much easier with wheels!"

"I’m very pleased with my 15U version purchased a year ago. The size is perfect for my home. The build quality is top-notch with thick, well-finished steel, and it looks great in black. The structure allows for some customization; I even cut a shelf to place an printer and chargers on top. The two floating shelves are very practical and can hold considerable weight. I have a 4-bay NAS and a 550VA UPS on one of them. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase, as it seems spacious enough for future upgrades like a NAS, a small homelab, or a NVR for surveillance cameras. However, the only downside is that I received only 17 mounting screws, which feels a bit limited."

"I found the 20U open frame rack from Tecmojo to be straightforward to assemble. The heavy-duty electric screwdriver made the process easier, especially for the shelves. Although I struggled with the top shelf alignment, the overall sturdiness is impressive once everything is in place. The extra screws provided were a lifesaver for installing my gear."

"As someone who needed a mobile network rack for benefit auctions, I appreciated the lightweight design. It was easy to transport, and the wheel locks worked well with tie-down straps. The shelves are well-ventilated, and I was able to use industrial-grade velcro for my devices, despite some minor alignment issues with the vents."

"I was initially excited to get this 12U rack, but I found that only 9U is usable due to the design. The spacing of the threaded holes was uneven, making it challenging to securely mount some of my equipment. While it's not unusable, I was disappointed with the overall design, and I will consider other options for my next rack."
