VEVOR 15U Open Frame Server Rack, 15''-40'' Adjustable Depth, Free Standing or Wall Mount Network Server Rack, 4 Post AV Rack with Casters, Holds All Your Networking IT Equipment AV Gear Router Modem

I have been looking around for a long time to get an affordable rack for my home lab. This unit is exactly what i was looking for.

Everyone is talking about how hard this was to put together and how bad the directions were but it was honestly fine. At one point I stopped reading the directions and just put it together its pretty obvious. It took about an hour in poor lighting with an offbrand ratcheting screwdriver while drinking beer. Probably would have been like 20 minutes with a drill tops but I needed something to do. If you use a drill I would make sure to limit the torque or you're going to strip it out and ruin it. The most tedious part is the little corner reinforcements. It's literally half the job. The holes are fine you are tapping your own threads they aren't wrong. If I had to change anything I would make the rack bolts black instead of silver. Also it comes with a billion extra screws and only 10 rack bolts. I would have rather had extra rack bolts. Also you can't really use the top piece unless you assemble it in it's smallest size MAYBE slightly larger. To be honest I don't think you should assemble it in anything but its smallest size. It DOES say its weight limit is 200 pounds not 500. I think maybe 500 might be for in it's smallest size and as you increase it its weight capacity decreases. It doesn't wobble or anything it feels real solid the way it is. The wheels it comes with seem kind of bad but you can get better ones. It also comes with leveling feet which I don't think was mentioned. For putting it on the floor I probably will just sit it there and not use either. If you are putting it in an unfinished basement with slightly uneven concrete floor maybe use the leveling feet but they are definitely going to scratch up your floor anywhere else. Maybe put some tennis balls over them or something and then you can still slide it around if you have to. They are kind of overly tall at 2 inches completely un-extended seems like they could have been half that. The finish is pretty nice. This is a good way to save on racks that cost 3X the price. Now I can spend my money on actu

I've got all my networking stuff on here now, including my NAS, and other storage. The setup process was easy enough, I found the directions to be somewhat poor but I am somewhat of an ikea furniture savant so I didn't have too many issues with this thing either. I set it up in the floor standing orientation, with wheels, and have found it to be quite capable of holding my firewall appliance, switches, NAS, an AP, and some misc. items connected to my network. The build quality and construction is sturdy and feels good enough for home use, and frankly this level of construction/quality is what can be expected at this price point. My biggest issue, and part of the reason why I am deducting a whole star is that the listing is not accurate. The photos say 500lbs capacity on the floor yet the documentation and the box say 200lbs for floor standing and 100lbs for wall mounting, which is a very large discrepancy. Please fix the listing! Overall, if you buy this knowing its limitations, I think you'll be happy. If you buy it expecting to load it up with 500lbs, you will not. At this price point, I think this was a decent server rack, one that most people who are starting their homelab journey will be more than happy with.

Affordable smallish server rack. I read some complaints about the ease of assembly - and although the instructions are a little less than adequate - as there are only so many parts - assembly was fairly staright forward and easy. The included shelves are sturdy.

Easy to put together, easy to adjust. Make sure you know your server depth in advanced and measure out the length appropriately. Pay attention to the direction of the adjustable pieces, I got it wrong and had to take it apart. The quality of the top shelf is very poor, not strong enough for heavy items. Also if you make it longer than the shortest length, the top shelf does not span across the entire top (which makes sense or else it would stick out when not fully extended). Overall for the price, I honestly don't have a lot to complain about and it meets my needs! Highly recommend.

The instructions are not really sensable, and i had to just follow some pictures online. Fully adjustable depth, but the top plate is set to one size. Cage nuts and screws are allen key, not normal philips. Its honestly a great rack for what it is, and if you want side panels, you can use cage nuts to hold custom side panels on.

This was an excellent buy. I needed something to hold my servers and networking gear as well as lab devices for testing. It took me about an hour to build this myself. It would have been easier with a second person, but you do what you can. I got the proper shelving to hold my devices. The included shelving are not meant for servers and some of my other devices but are fine for lighter things. This is pretty sturdy and easy to work with. I haven't had a single complaint about it.

This VEVOR 12U Open Frame Server Rack is interesting. It took me about 2 hours to put together. I decided to use the wheels instead of plopping it on the floor somewhere. It did come with the bolts to mount it to the wall, but I'm not interested in that at this time. Being able to set the depth is interesting, but that makes the shelves a little unstable. I'm going to be setting some PCs on the shelves, so the fact there is no back supports on them it is a little disappointing. That is of course because you can adjust the depth. The only other thing I think I'd like to have seen is locks on at least a set of the wheels. As it is none of them lock.

This frame is really good, but please for gods sake change the setup guide the pictures in it are so faded and hard to read. None of the parts are labeled you dont know what is the correct way and the pictures do not help; It was pain to setup and I still have to fix it I have to put the extending rails on the other way I put them backwards because the instructions are garbage.

Perfect for my need. It is able to support quite a bit of load.
