Works fine, but bring your own screws
Pros (with caveats):
Construction is solid - heavy duty 3.5mm steel nicely finished with rugged black powder-coating (but see * below). This thing will house a hefty unit on it's top row and not wobble.
30 degree angle great for desktop use (but see ** below).
Cons (with work-arounds):
*As noted in other reviews, the screw-holes must be tapped before use. I used one of the supplied screws to carefully go in and out of each hole - no problems after that. The supplied screws are useless - too soft and WAY too short. On my range of rack gear the thickness of the rack ears goes from 2mm to 6mm, so on even the middle-thickness units the screw only goes into the thread half-way. Thats a recipe for breaking things! Luckily for me I had a bag of spare (longer, harder) screws. For the sake of a couple more Euros they really should give you decent screws, and 24 of them!
**Note that the lowest two or three slots are restricted due to the 30 degree rack - it's not possible to mount anything longer than 12cm on the 2nd row without hitting the legs. But its fine for mounting shallower units - I've put a Behringer Model D (with rack ears) at the bottom and it fits just fine - plus spare room underneath to slide in an old RX-17 drum machine.
Also note that the thin top crossbar obscures the top-most slot. But that isn't a problem if you've already put one or two units in lower down - those plus the main bottom crossbar are all thats needed to make the rack sturdy.
Despite the cons, I'm ordering another one of these (12u this time) as its solid, the angle is just right and its SO cheap!

Reasonably stable but the screws supplied tp fit consoles to the stand, do not fit the holes and strip as soon as you try to put them in.

For this price,you can buy)))
Ordered for their devices, as it is inexpensive, small in size. Very surprised that the lower stabilizer, longer than necessary by 2 centimeters, solved the problem with a saw))). Before installing the devices, it is better to fasten the holes with bolts to knock down the paint. In General,after refining this constructor, the function performs. But for the most part it becomes stable after the installation of devices.

It's wonky but it's dirt cheap and gets the job done.
Look, it's wonky, the cylindrical upper bar didn't match the screws I got so I couldn't use it, the lower transversal bar screws popped their plastic cover so I had to screw them using tools, the included screws for the rack are of no use (buy some other screws)... and yet, it's super cheap, gets the job done and doesn't wobble once you populate it with your units. So, if you're rich, buy something better, but if you're poor as rat like me, you'll be very happy this thing even exists at this price.
