RIVECO POMU 12U Network & Stereo Rack with Caster Wheels, Rolling Server Rack Open Cabinet for 19 inches Audio Video Musical & IT Equipment Mounting, Round & Square Holes, Build in Handles Heavy Duty

The legs (both the castors and the screw-down feet) are really sturdy and allow this thing to roll very nicely. The assembly is relatively straightforward once you figure out what screws are for what, which is self-evident from counting them (they are not color-coded so it starts out as a challenge). Note that the manufacturer has hilariously mis-translated "blunt angle" as "BLUNT ANGEL," but there are no plain-speaking representatives of heaven here, just a nice feature where the corners aren't so sharp.

This little 12U rack is impressively sturdy. Nice gauge steel used for all parts , well powder coated. I think a key aspect of this rack’s design is that the top and bottom pieces are made from a single, bent and formed, piece of steel.Went together easily, the instructions are nice and clear. All the pieces go together with nuts and bolts. In truth, it took me about 30 minutes (there’s only so fast that I can put 48 nuts or on the 48 bolts and tighten them all with the driver drill). The bolts snug-up easily, without the use of washers, because they use flange nuts with a slight serration on the bottom to keep the nut from turning when it comes in contact with the surface. Everything lined up well and was well finished. No sharp edges.There were some minor cosmetic defects on the back of the top piece, where the point was scuffed/rubbed. It’s an equipment rack, so I don’t care. But if it was much worse, I’d have complained.The power distribution panel is clearly “not great” (see the other reviews), and if you’re using a UPS for your equipment you don’t want to plug a surge suppressor into your UPS in any case. I tossed the power distribution panel right into the trash, and used a Tripp Lite distribution panel.I didn’t use the included shelf… instead I bought two Riveco 14” 1U shelves and installed those,Plenty of decent quality cage nuts and bolts provided with the unit. I was happy that I didn’t have to struggle to get the cage nuts into the square holes (as I’ve had to do with other, “professional” racks). Note that the BACK of the rack has round holes that supposedly takes 10-32 screws. If the silver screws provided in the package are supposed to fit (they can’t be for anything else) they definitely do not… so, no verdict on the round holes.In summary…. A decent little rack, particularly for home use. Recommended for that purpose.

It's a nice and attractive server rack that allows the rear mount posts to be moved forward. The rubber components have a odor that reminds me of shopping at Harbor Freight. I disposed of the 5cm grommets and that seemed to help considerably. The construction of the enclosure does not protect against excessive lateral forces but adding components or drawers 4U or more will help improve it's strength. If you skip the wheels, it might be low enough to fit under a butcher block desk with 30" legs. You would still need to add some felt pads\strips on the support channels underneath - This unit will get heavy fast. I selected this rack to fit a drawer fridge and storage drawers for my side drawer unit. in my build, the fridge pushes out 9 inches past the back of the rack but that works fine for me and promotes air flow. Being able to custom build with drawer sizes and placement is a step above the fray.

Just set it up today. Took me about 2 hours. Set up was easy. I bought this for my music rack. 1U, 2U, 3U, etc. Overall, for the price. This gets 10 out of 10. I got a bit dented one but I didn’t mind that much because all the important screws went in all right. I have one request. It’s not a major one but the big Rod screws that go under the rack could have been longer because I still want the wheels attached but I still want the big rod screws to support the majority of the weight. Right now, the wheels are supporting the majority of the weight. This is actually not a big problem because I can just find a way to make it work but I thought this info would be useful for your next version of this production. This is a very solid product. Well done!! I would buy it again.

For the money, this was better than expected by far. Really nice unit till i got to the bottom piece. As you can see in the picture, that metal was ripped and exposing a serious cut hazard. It wasn't caused by packing or shipping, because the box was in perfect condition packed in two boxes. This was made and packed like this. This is a bad quality control, very bad. Lucky I didn't cut my hand or finger. And two more things. Many of the pre drilled holes for rack mounting was not tapped for threads, so that's an empty hole. One of the welded nuts for the leveling feet are striped out, so you can't screw in that one. So now I have to tap that one to accept threads. Unacceptable!!!

its easy to assemble, and as you can see ample space for my systems, also nice and slim, not very bulky, it does comes with no racks, you should add those, if you would need then, I source the ones you see, from a sysrac I replace with this one, the other one was just way too bulky and everything got hot inside even with 4 fans insise the unit.I was not especting this to be good actually, I mean it is not very expensive, also, this unit has the back and front open, but as long as it is against the wall, and good wire management, you should be just fine.if you are just looking for a functional U18 rack, and you just want function, I recommend this, again please do your research, on how many equipment pieces are you going to put in there.
