Sturdy and powerful

This is exactly the stand I needed. I replaced a 4U rack with no depth adjuster with this one so I could install a full depth switch and I'm very happy with it. A built-in shelf is a great way to increase rack rigidity and provide additional surface area for equipment without mounting brackets. It was fairly easy to put together, although the instructions indicated the wrong screws in one step and some of the screws were difficult to get in (I think the powder coating may have been applied after the threads were cut). I would definitely buy this rack again if I needed to mount the 4U somewhere else on the wall.

Pros

STANDARD WOOD DIMENSIONS: The wall shelf is a solid solution for mounting your equipment, and the wall mounting holes are spaced 16" apart to fit a standard drywall frame.

Cons
