Overall:
This works as a good inexpensive solution for studios. Although they call it a table top stand, you'd most likely want to sit it on the floor instead. But beware, only 11 of the 12 spaces are usable unless you put an extremely shallow item in the bottom space. Due to the angle and bottom horizontal bar, items in the bottom rack space will either touch the floor or get blocked by the back bar which really represents poor design in my opinion. They should have extended the rack rails at the bottom in order to avoid that problem. Also, it comes with rack screws but no washers. But for the price, it's hard to beat. Just count on 11 spaces instead of 12.

Overall:
Good product - I don't see any reason to spend hundreds of dollars on a rack when you can get this one, and use the money you save to buy more effects units...

Feature:
If you fill this unit with different size units(1U, 2U, etc...) it's a pain because, unlike traditional(and more expensive) rack stands, this unit only has screws where 1U boxes are SUPPOSED to fit...alot of vintage gear is 1/8" or so off, and that means wasted rack space...currently, I've got all twelve spaces used for what SHOULD take up only 10

Quality:
It doesn't move, so it shouldn't fall apart. Made of steel. Bottom rack space sucks, and won't fit much more than a patchbay(although, that can be OK, since who wants wires in the way of all the other gear?)

Value:
Cheap....Very Cheap. It works well for the money

Desirability:
Racks are only sexy when they are full....if you buy this, but only have one or two things to put in it...expect a searing hole to develop in your wallet until you've filled it with your favorite rack units! Then prepare to buy another rack stand and start all over!

Overall:
Great price, Decent quality, angle helps for glare and tweaking purposes....but detracts from usage of the bottom slot(or two)

Overall:
If you need a rack for home studio use, this is a good choice. It let's your gear breathe better than an enclosed rack, it's sturdy and stable enough, it gives you side access to your gear which can be helpful depending on your setup. However, two quips: 1. you have to be careful how you organize your gear because of the angle of the rack. If you put your power conditioner on the bottom, the wall warts are not going to fit (too close to the table), you'll have to set the whole rack unit up on books or some other stilts. If you put your deepest item on top, you're going to be top heavy and it doesn't feel really stable that way (didn't fall, though) but if you put it on bottom, it may also have a conflict with the table if it is quite deep (like a synth tone module as opposed to a reverb or patchbay, for example). Now the real killer: I don't care what the ad copy says, this thing is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT easy to carry around with you. Think about it, where are you going to grip it? No wheels, no handles, no sides... you're going to be grabbing it by your GEAR. Awkward at best, downright panic-inspiring most of the time. And twelve pieces of rack gear is HEAVY, partner. So, what I'm saying here is, buy it because it's cheap, but not because it looks light and portable with that one item stuck in it in the ad photo. This thing is a real BEAST for trying to take places. I'm already shopping more traditional, enclosed racks with wheels & handles... I REFUSE to move this thing around any more, grabbing it tenuously by my gear.

It's a rack - it holds stuff and does that well... only grip is the bottom space is easily used due to it's angle - only shallow devices will fit.

Quality:
it's made of metal...

Value:
For less than 30 bucks it's a great deal...

if you need help putting this thing together you need help period...

Sturdy and good quality materials

I couldn't find anything, anywhere as good and as cheap. Why pay hundreds of dollars, when you can have this item for this low price if it suites your needs.

Nice looking. Better than the picture

Feature:
It's very basic, but it's very cheap. It does the job.

Quality:
Seems solid. I have 3 units in the rack currently and I expect to see them there when I get home later.

Value:
A great value at this price, especially considering the relative lack of options in the rack area. It's either "build your own" or "buy an expensive stage rig". This really is a great option.

Desirability:
I rate it high because it is my first rack, and it will probably be yours or you wouldn't be looking at it. When you set it up and look at it and go "wow, that's my rack, man", you'll be just as happy as me.

Sound:
Though I beg and plead, it remains silent. I have to give it a 5 for being both yin and yang.

Support:
Come on.

Overall:
Still got 8 more spaces!
