    Easy to put together. Took about an hour by myself. Quality materials. It comes with the tools you need to put together but a socket set with 10mm and 13mm sockets and a drill or socket wrenches will make the job faster.

    I have used these sturdy well designed racks many times and they include everything you need - wheels, cable management hoops, mounting hardware for devices and tools to assemble it with. All parts are made to work together and that means everything fits. The design is very clever in that you can select and change depth of the rack at any time. The assembly is quick and easy. The hand tools - screw driver and wrenches are quality toolbox ready tools - no flat punched from sheet metal wrenches. The instructions are easy to follow and with included tools the compact package can be drop shipped to a field location with no tools and know everything you need is in the box. The metal is thick and the end joints help create strength that nothing in this price point can touch. It can hold double or more weight of equipment than the competition. It has booth wheels and legs or it can sit on the floor. Grounding wires are even included. It may be a tiny amount more than cheaper models but the money is well spent. Quicker setup will save money!

    Size: 12UPattern: RackVerified Purchase
    I had been considering the 8U version of this same rack for quite some time, but when Prime day rolled around, this 12U unit was actually on sale for less than the 8U rack. So I took the plunge because I needed a place to set up a renewed Dell R710 server.

    It comes with a lot of nice extras that show StarTech has put more effort into its units than most of the knock-offs. It's made of very sturdy, powder coated steel. I really appreciate that it came with *all* of the tools that you will need to put it together -- including 2 wrenches and a Philips screwdriver. The instructions are well written and come in a nice little plastic pouch should you need them again. More than enough hardware included as well.

    Be sure to measure your server before putting this together. I ended up going about six inches longer because of the measurements listed in the manual. Measure the mounting hardware of your server and make sure you get within a few inches of the fully-expanded rack-mounting. It wasn't too tough to adjust the size, though.

    It works well with a Dell R710 server (see photo) and I plan to add beneath and possibly a fan/power-strip. It's supposed to be able to hold 1200 pounds and that's probably true. I'm not sure how easy it would be to move with that much weight. It's pretty hefty and the addition of a huge server makes it tough enough to move already. But it's not made to be mobile all the time. It's a good way to get things set up and put it in a cool closet when you are done.

    I'm happy with this and I'd definitely buy from StarTech again. The quality is much better than what I expected. Solid 5 stars.

    I had been considering the 8U version of this same rack for quite some time, but when Prime day rolled around, this 12U unit was actually on sale for less than the 8U rack. So I took the plunge because I needed a place to set up a renewed Dell R710 server.

    It comes with a lot of nice extras that show StarTech has put more effort into its units than most of the knock-offs. It's made of very sturdy, powder coated steel. I really appreciate that it came with *all* of the tools that you will need to put it together -- including 2 wrenches and a Philips screwdriver. The instructions are well written and come in a nice little plastic pouch should you need them again. More than enough hardware included as well.

    Be sure to measure your server before putting this together. I ended up going about six inches longer because of the measurements listed in the manual.

    First let me state, this rack for a 25U cabinet, heavy duty! Almost to much so.
    Overall the assembly was good. The instructions suck. But since I have built many a rack in my career, wasn't to hard to follow along.
    The side rails ( top and bottom) make straightening the adjustable depth rails annoying. But since they are only for rigidity and don't affect mounting devices, it's a mute point.
    My suggestion is to leave bolts slightly loose, then tighten at the end when you square the front and back.
    Makes putting it together much easier.
    Overall, I'd buy another if I need the extra space. But since this is a 25U, Don think I'll run out of room.
    I did get all the parts, unlike some of the negative reviews.

    Hey all,

    I was in the market for a rack now that I have two PowerEdge R620's and a handful of networking equipment. The clutter of stacking this equipment will go away with this rack! Based on some negative reviews - I didn't experience any issues whatsoever. It also arrived sooner than it said it would and the tracking notified me that. Anyhow, I attached a couple pics, please excuse my messy house.

    This thing is a must for a home lab setup (maybe seems like it's too big at first), but I guarantee the space will be appreciated later down the road. Here's my pros, success points thus far along with maybe a con or two.

    Pros:
    This thing is solid, heavy, was well packaged (all parts were individually wrapped in bubble wrap within the box and even additional plastic for the sliding rails to protect the nice black finish from scuffs). Clear instruction sticker is put on the box alerting the shipping provider to keep the item flat (sorry, girlfriend threw the box out since the cat was going crazy wanting to climb inside it and such...).

    UPS brought to my front door (I met him outside), and he said is it okay if I put it here..this thing is heavy lol. The box was in good shape other than a hole that was punched in (during shipping), however there was NO damage to the parts.

    Instructions were included inside a nice plastic folder insert - Thank-you StarTech! This ensured the instructions were kept in pristine condition despite being crammed into the box.

    Was easy as heck to assemble. I made my girlfriend help since she was just sitting on the couch, however this could have easily been done by one person in less than an hour. I just had her kind of hold some of the parts while I located the bolts/washers to fasten them in.

    My Dell rail fit just perfect! The instructions for measuring the depth are spot on / make sense.

    Cons:
    Shipping time - took close to a month, but arrived sooner than I had originally expected. It's heavy as heck, so maybe that's the issue? Was free shipping though so cannot complain.

    The included tools (little wrenches) aren't right? Who cares - who uses tools included in these kind of assembly kits anyhow? I just grabbed my 1/2" socket and it was a breeze.

    That's honestly about it, assuming I don't run into further issues when adding in more equipment and moving to my final resting place for the rack. It has wheels - I will install tomorrow.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. I posted this under my girlfriends Amazon account since I ordered it through hers. She has prime, I don't.. free shipping. Take care all! Thank-you for reading.

    Works Great, Very Durable, and Easy To Assemble with tools that were included. Makes an excellent server rack for my Distribution and Access Layer to my Cisco Learning Lab that I use for CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE self study along with the CCNP lab manuals and CCIE practice labs.

    Montage très simple. J’ai changé un rack fermé de 20U manquant de profondeur pour celui là en 18U. La profondeur me permet au final de ne pas avoir de perte de place. L’open frame est bien plus pratique, a une bonne finition.

    Les points à corriger.
    Le manuel comporte une erreur avec un élément en trop.
    L’emballage n’est pas adapté et arrive en très mauvais état.
