I had mixed opinions about ordering this rack (20U) after I read all the reviews. However I can only say that I am pleasantly surprised. After reading the reviews I expected this to take hours to assemble, however it took sub 1 hour to do alone. My 20U unit had the numbers on the front even though the pictures does not, only on the 9U unit, however I do not mind. My 20U unit did not have the coasters from the 20U unit pictures ( which looks like office chair wheels ), but instead it came with the 9U coasters, which seems durable enough. I have mounted probably 80KG of gear + the rack weight itself around 18kg so almost 100kg and it's not problem moving it around. People also complain about the screws, that they are un-tapped and how even an electric screw driver will have a hard time, also that they are philips heads. I had no problem what so ever, also sure philips heads might not be the most optimal, but if you are using the correct gear there aint no problem. Maybe people are getting different versions of this rack, mine was shipped from Czech Republic if that matters.

I purchased the 12U open frame server rack. This unit is compatible with PowerEdge servers and other rack mounted equipment. The only problem is the 12U server rack can only support up to 200 lbs. In my case, my network equipment exceeded that weight limit and I only filled half the space. The setup took me 6 hours and 100% requires a power tool to get the screws in. The instructions were clear but the steps could have been more efficient. I ended up have to partially remove some screws to get others to go in all the way.

Good decent option for a homelab. Not too hard to put together, had all the parts. There were a couple bent peices but I can't say if that happened at QA or during shipping. Overall pretty good.

I bought a 12U server cabinet for my home lab, which houses two 4U servers. My only regret is the wheels—they aren’t holding firmly to the frame and have become misaligned, making the cabinet difficult to move.

Easy to assemble and surprisingly sturdy. Although I should have got higher. But I didn't know better.

Instructions could have been better and the material a bit thicker, but for its cost and use, this will be fine.

[Briefly] Assembly took me about an hour and a half- the pieces are NOT symmetric and you need to follow along with the product manual to minimize how many pieces you install backwards or on the wrong spot. A power drill (with Phillips #2 bit) is absolutely necessary for assembly; the design drives screws directly into undersized metal holes. The only tapped portion of the frame are the four caster mounts. [Extended] In geometry class you should expect to encounter Euler’s formula for polyhedral, F + V = E + 2. The number of faces, plus corners is equal to the number of edges plus two. While assembling this box you will become intimately familiar with its consequences. The four edges running front to back are assembled from three pieces each to accommodate an adjustable depth. Two screws couple the front of the arm to the center, and another two couple the center to the back. 16 screws later and the bag seems as full as you started. Then, the vertical pillars are attached with a further two screws at each corner. 16 more screws, 32 in total. This bag only starts to show signs of use. The left and right sides are formed. The cross-bars are attached to link the two sides. A further two screws for each corner. 16 more, 48 in total. The bag remains about 3/4 full. Corner braces are now attached to firmly attach the cross bars to the sides forming the depth of the box. Four screws per brace, eight braces. 32 screws, 80 in total. The bag is still over half full. Finally, you can attach the top panel. Only 14 more screws needed. 94 Screws in Total. You find out that the top is only sized for one particular depth. Do you go back and fix this mistake, or can you finally start tightening all these screws?

Good for home server setup. Instructions are not very clear so I had to take it apart a couple times to get it right. Electric screwdriver or drill required! Unfortunately, when you extend the depth, it makes a large gap in the top plate.

It would be nice if the depth were a little more adjustable would like it to be a little smaller

A little time consuming to put together, the instructions are a little hard to follow but not as bad as most items similar. Once together works as intended and appears to be sturdy
