For those having difficulty assembling this 4 post rack: Yes instructions could be better on a couple steps, but I'd guess you also have difficulty assembling most items overall anyways. Details are in the pictures on which way to assemble this 4 post open rack. Pay close attention to the pictures at the ends of the pieces, as they are shaped differently and if you note the position correctly, you won't have any issues at all. NOTE: Do not try to drill a hole with the electric drill you will need to use, once the threads are cut immediately stop when the head of the screw touches the metal. Items to note: 1) The height of whatever 4 post rack you are looking at does NOT include the wheels. I bought the 20U model which stated 38.7 inches, and with the wheels on comes in at just under 41 inches. 2) Weight capacity says 500lbs. No way this is even close. Instructions as another has shared clearly says 200lbs max. 3) You are going to need an electric drill with a #2 bit. I used a Milwaukee M12 1/4" impact with a magnetic 4" bit extension and it worked fine. Set on power setting 1. Not one thing can you use a regular screwdriver when installing this, except to mount the 2 included shelves at the end. So if you don't have an electric screwdriver I would recommend the Milwaukee M12 series or similar. 4) You don't get one of those thin flat cheap wrenches for putting on the wheels. If you want to put them on it's a 9/16 or 14mm open ended wrench. Snug is all you need for the wheels. 5) The first step is the most important one, if you intend on extending the depth for you 4 post open rack needs. Instructions mention, but not a lot of detail. I set mine at 32in deep, which leaves 9 open holes on each end as you assemble the depth rails on the first step. Adjust accordingly for your depth needs. 6) Also note, if you need the depth to be over the 23" default depth, the top metal piece isn't going to cover the entire top. I put mine covering the front of the rack

Use both the installation video which they have, and the manual, and the diagram chart, separate your pieces piece by piece by number, lay out the base on the floor, ensure you have it all in the correct directions, the top and the bottom rails make sure you get those directions right, i used a evergreen drill, yes the holes are a bit small but you just crank up the settings on your electric drill, depending on the part and holes, usually on the higher end, lower end for some panels. This is a really good deal. I have some 32" servers so this was the cheapest and I'm surprised the quality is good as well, nice paint coating on it, feels sturdy. I did this by myself just resting it in various ways to get it to work, on a chair, table, etc.

Overall, the rack is great and give it 5 stars for the price. The installation, however, is 2 stars. You first have to use the PDF version of the manual to even figure out what the steps are because the printed manual is of very low quality. While you will eventually figure it out, it is not evident right away and takes some time to determine the proper orientation. There's definitely no way you can use a hand driver to tighten the screws since it is not predrilled/threaded. You may not need an impact wrench depending depending on what type of electric drill you have. The screw heads are like butter and get stripped pretty easy so be careful.

This frame is really good, but please for gods sake change the setup guide the pictures in it are so faded and hard to read. None of the parts are labeled you dont know what is the correct way and the pictures do not help; It was pain to setup and I still have to fix it I have to put the extending rails on the other way I put them backwards because the instructions are garbage.

This is basically a well-manufactured, but light duty portable rack. The instructions could be much better - the printed version is tiny and badly printed. I was disappointed that Vevor don't seem to have an on-link PDF to look at. I ended up working out some of the assembly from images of similar racks on the internet. Once assembled it works well. It can be assembled with or without castors. The large castors and the overall metal gauges suggest the rack will be able significant loads. The supplied shelves are helpful, but very light-weight. They droop under modest loads (~10 lbs), so I'll need to get some that are more substantial for the rack UPS. Overall, and especially for the price, it's pretty unbeatable!

The metal plate that goes on the top was pretty badly damaged, the corner was bent meaning the plate had to be orientated in a certain way7 or it wouldn't fit. There is a lot of scrapes on the top plate. Everything else was alright, though the screws requiring an hex key is annoying, just use regular flat/phillips head screws.

Great piece of equipment, it did not disappoint, the metal uses good quality. The only complaint is it is a little hard to put together and also a little hard to figure out how long to make it. But once your past that its great, I have two servers and a dream machine pro on it with no issues. This could also be used for sound equipment which would be nice since it comes with wheels to move it around easier. Overall great product!

This is a decent rack, especially for how little it cost I can't complain much. Although I'm about to describe what I didn't like about it, I would buy this rack again if I needed a second one. For about a third to a quarter of the cost for something of comparable size elsewhere, it's worth making a few adjustments to make it work. First thing, although this rack is(I think) rated for around 500 pounds, the casters and caster plates don't do well with any real weight. The caster pins and the mounting plate were both bending badly while I was getting it loaded up, and I ended up just removing the casters altogether and bolting the rack to a large 1200lb Harbor Freight furniture moving "skateboard", and it works great. Second thing that I didn't expect but should have, the vertical rails are a bit thinner than the more expensive racks, and bend easily with unsupported cantilevered loads, even light ones. This rack will definitely need server mount rails, or a mixture of the rails and fabricated shelves like I did. It's a pretty solid little rack, and is doing well. I configured mine as 28" depth, so the top cover plate doesn't cover the whole top, but I use the top as a place for my 3D printer enclosure. If you're networking on a budget, this is a good rack to get started.

I had to drill the holes a little larger so that the self tapping screws would screw all the way in. Otherwise it is a great product and it is well made.

Bonjour, Après plus d'un an d'usage, rack robuste mais les vis autoperforantes font que le démontage et le remontage sont parfois délicats. POINT très NÉGATIF si le rack est lourdement chargé (100kg), les roulettes semblent adaptées pour des charges lourdes MAIS LES SUPPORTS DES ROULETTES se TORDENT très FACILEMENT (tôle trop mince) et vrillent la roulette.
