Review on πŸ“¦ StarTech.com 2U Server Rack Shelf - Universal Vented Cantilever Tray for 19-inch Network Equipment Rack & Cabinet - Heavy Duty Steel - 50lb Capacity - 16-inch Depth (CABSHELFV) in Black by Everette Jean

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High quality, the front bottom edge disrupts the space below, so it could be a 3U high unit.

This is one of those cases where you get exactly what you expect from what you see online, apart from being made of stronger and thicker steel than I expected , for about $30. . It comes with little things (sorry) that you put in square holes so you can use screws to mount it and they come off easier than any others I've used which was a nice plus. After all 4 screws are in, it looks really solid. There are a few things I would change if I could: 1) The ridge on the front, while I understand it strengthens the unit and prevents flexing, also blocks the top of the space underneath. Since I didn't have a server with less than 2 units of space that I pasted this into, it didn't matter, although "filler bar" doesn't come back. I suspect if I had a server in the area below I wouldn't be able to drag the server without deleting it. I'm not sure about that. 2) I wish there was a raised lip on the back. Nothing sharp to dig into the wires, but something blunt to keep anything from rolling down and perhaps that obviates the need for a lower lip up front. Those things aside, it's a good thing, well made for the money, and I don't regret having it.
