Review on πŸ—„οΈ Sabrent 9U IT Wall Mount Rack Enclosure 19 Inch Black Server Cabinet - Fully Assembled (CT-DSWL) with Locking Glass Door by Tim Thuss

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Serviceable but not top quality

I would classify it as home use or maybe a small business, but really just a simple cupboard that's a notch higher than a stack of appliances in the corner. I don't want this to be a review of the packaging but I had a few issues with physical damage when I received mine and it really comes down to the fact that the construction is fairly light. The sheet metal uses it to a minimum to keep the structure in shape. Even where there is no damage, the tolerances are quite large. The hinges on the front allow for up and down movement, so I have to lift the door to close it. Worst of all is the clasp: the metal is so soft it can easily be bent. It's one of those locks that keep honest people honest. Don't believe that unless you really want people to come in. Those complaints aside, it allows me to better consolidate things in our laundry, although as you can see from my photo some organization is needed. I'm impressed with the ability to open at the back and the hinge is pretty strong there. However, don't get hung up on it. The included mounting screws are not very long and screw into the stud just an inch behind the drywall. If this sounds like a problem to you then you might want to look elsewhere as I think the closet will be the first to pop up. Inserting the cables was as easy as pushing down on a cut sheet of metal. They involve 4 keys so there is a lot to do. I don't have any fans for the bodice yet but appreciate them including the necklines. This is a VERY light weight cabinet. However, my home use is an off the shelf refresh and it looks better. Knowing what you're getting, and at the right price, really matters.
