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.

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.

Great quality, heavy duty I love the castor on the bottom that makes it mobile. The only downside is that assembly is laborious with lots of pieces and screws.

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.

I was struggling to find something that wasn't $300+ to house all my new networking equipment. This looked perfect for what I wanted to do. Only 4 stars simply due to the screws and hardware not fitting perfectly and some of the assembly needed a little more elbow grease than anticipated, but for the price cannot complain at all. Put this together and had everything mounted properly in an evening. Definitely recommend if you are looking for an inexpensive setup for your precious equipment.

Einfacher Aufbau. Die Qualität ist annehmbar, jedoch war eins der Bohrungen versetzt, weswegen ich selbst ein Loch nachbohren musste.

Was straightforward to assemble, just make sure you have appropriate tools, power tools preferred. Quality is good for the price, not the best but you get what you pay for. Holds all my equipment pretty well, except there is a little flex with my ups. My ups is a three battery 1500 ups so its a little heavier than most. But I put it on the very bottom so its not noticeable. Overall I would buy this again and if its all you need for your homelab or server it works really well. I would recommend it to anyone that only needs a 9u rack.

The rack went together fine. The only issue is the shelves supplied are attached only on the front of the rack. Anything heavy causes the larger shelf to deform. It was intended to use as a 48V 100ah battery rack and is big enough but the shelf is unsupported at the back so it will have to be modified. The second shelf is very weak and of no use . Someone mentioned that possibly you could the unit taller instead of longer but that’s not really possible unless you do not plan on using the caster’s. Although rated for 500 lbs on the wheels the one shelf cannot hold 100lbs so unless you’re putting something on the top of the unit that rating is meaningless.
