Great Telcom Rack
By T. Marimon
I bought this for my home. This is my first rack purchase. Prior to this, I've never rackmounted my server or network hardware, but I wanted to start doing so because it's more compact and cleaner looking.Currently, I have 3x3U center mounted servers at the bottom, then all my networking equipment about half way up. This includes a managed gigabit switch, a wire management insert, a 2U pfsense router/firewall, then 2 shelves for a cable modem and the wireless access point. I also have a 1U PDU.This leaves me plenty of room to expand, of course. The rack, as I have it loaded, is plenty sturdy. Having the servers at the bottom helps keep the main weight low, which keeps it steady. There is next to no risk of it falling over in this configuration. If this is used in a real telcom location, there are also holes to bolt it to the floor, but I did not have this ability in my current living situation, and it wasn't necessary to do so, either.I'd recommend this for the home for a low-cost rack mounting solution. Same with an office setting. If necessary in the future, I can always buy a second one and make it into a 4-post rack, as well.

By Stephen Tye
Other reviews have pretty much covered it. Good, solid rack. Nice finish. It is aluminum so surprisingly light. I have it set on concrete floor which is not smooth. I have it loaded at the top with a 1U TOR switch and a rackmount power strip/surge supressor. Slightly above waist level I have installed a shelf and placed a flatscreen monitor on the shelf. A couple of inches below that (approx 45" off the floor) I have a server on rails (which I'm using for my keyboard tray :-) and directly underneath that another 1U switch. Finally, sitting on the base I have a couple of PCs. The rack wobbles due to the rough floor, but it exhibits adequate stability. I highly recommend this for SMB or home. And, as others have stated, the pack of screws taht comes with it is handy, especially rackmount screws that I've used on job sites did not fit well.

By brent
This is a great rack for the price especially with the free amazon shipping. It was very easy to put together. As there are only 6 bolts on each side holding it together there is some wiggle room back and forth if you push but once you have weight on the rack it doesn't move. I put almost 150 lbs of network equipment and servers on the rack with no problems. What I found really nice was all the extra mounting screws they gave you in the kit. I see myself buying another one once I have the need.
