This rack is solid; I really like it. It's not at all flimsy, and holds all our switches and patch panels like a champ. It's got side doors that make access easier, as well as ingress plates on both the top and the bottom, so cable bundles can move where needed. For what it is, it is excellent and I have no complaints whatsoever.
In practice, however, I ran into a few snags. First, it's amazing how quickly 6U can go. I needed 5U when I started, but one extra is not enough; I should have gotten an 8, but that's my fault. The bigger warning is that 16.5" depth really isn't enough if you're using managed switches. I tried putting a Cisco 3750E in here, and it was about an inch too long, even with the front mounting rails moved all the way up. I replaced it with a Dell 6224, which technically fits, but I had to get a right angle power adapter, and even then it just barely fit. I gave the rack five stars because the issues I ran into were clearly a lack of planning, but I thought I would post this warning that a 20" deep rack is probably a better investment if you're not absolutely certain of the dimensions of all the equipment going into this rack before it is purchased.
Joey It fits well with our furniture setup.
I have used about 50 of these so far, all worked perfectly. It fits well with our furniture setup.
