I'll be buying a couple more, but still plan on altering them along the lines I mentioned.
Sound
It's a rack. The question is ridiculous.
Features
Casters and cage nuts are included. You're better off inserting the cage nuts with the ears sideways. Think out your layout in advance; cage nuts are not easy on your fingers, so get a little practice inserting and removing them.
Ease of Use
Holds units securely, but if you've got anything heavy, you'll have to create and fasten your own rear supports.
Quality
It's obviously made in China. The gauge is on the light side, and welds are minimal, so I beefed the angle up with cap screws and lock nuts. Extra work, but I can sleep easier now. Not a fan of the casters either, so I got some stemless casters on a well-known auction site. If you do the same, get 8mm bolts (25mm length is enough) and 5/16 x 1/2" nylon spacers to center them. IMO, the Tam Recanti stuff is much higher quality.
Value
It certainly reduced the footprint of my studio, so it was worth it in that regard.
Manufacturer Support
Never contacted QuikLok for much of anything.
The Wow Factor
Good looks, unless you get really close to it. There were some scuffs in shipping on the finish, nothing major.
