cheap but useful
Pros: cheap, lightweight, with punch holes for rack nuts.
Punch holes are great, because many racks in this price range have built-in threads, which wear easily. Here, you can replace the (not included) nuts, which is the more durable, professional standard.
Cons: cheap, hence not very sturdy.
I wouldn't dare loading it with power amps. It's ok for a couple of synths or effect units. I wouldn't dare putting too much weight on the top of it either, especially when empty.
When I mounted my synths into it, the one at the top wouldn't fit because the rack was a fraction of a millimeter short. So I forced a little bit (because I'm that kind of guy), and now the whole frame is deformed. It's still squarish enough (still useful, not completely destroyed), but not as pretty as in the pictures.
Still a good compromise I suppose, since you can't really complain for that price.

Heavy but strong
When I got this product, I was pretty shocked by the weight of this product, which of course is a good thing, I've been able to happily rack all the items I have with no issues so far, I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a place to put their rackmount equipment :)

Sturdy and well finished
Perfect fit for the Behringer 2600, plus leaves a lot of space at the back which I use for storage.
The only con is if you stack two or more of these and your gear is not too heavy, the top one will slide when plugging jacks in.

Good enough for use at home or in even a studio
It seems very flimsy at first, it gets quite sturdy as you mount your units in it though. I wouldn't take it on the road, for home use it's good enough. The quality is pretty decent at this price, even my 3U quite heavy power amp is held up straight and level

not great, but good
the rack arrived with some bumps and bruises. it was a bit chipped and dented. so to fill some of the slots it needed some pushing, the rack is fully loaded so that made it straighten it up. not the best quality, but it does the job, especially for this price it's ok

Great value for your money!
I bought 2 of these for an angled DIY rack stand. They seem a bit wobly at first but once you mount in your modules they are solid.
I also like the reduced depth, ideal for sound modules!

As basic as they come, but well built
This 8 unit 19" rack is ideal for studio use. It's not particularly pretty, but it does the trick. I had a lot of old 19" stuff kicking about, and now it is neatly tucked away. Together with a rack-mounted RGD-LED-light, it is actually quite pretty. Note: rack screws are not included and the back does not allow for additionally mounting stuff. But that's only a minor oversight.
