| Subject: | A Must have for any home studio |
| Quality:
| The On Stage Stands rack stand looks to be very well built from .105 carbon steel tubing and 1/8" sheet metal broke to 90*to make the rack rails.
the holes are drilled and tapped and is supplied with screws for mounting equipment. |
| Features:
| Easy to assemble and disassemble for storage purposes has a nice powder coat finish so it should hold up well under abuse. All the screws are included and comes with a top bar for added stability which I have noticed that some models do not have. |
| Ease of Use:
| very portable and versatile. |
| Sound:
| N/A |
| Reliability:
| this stand should be able to hold up to anything short of a nuclear blast. |
| Overall:
| this is a must have piece of equipment forany home studio or the gigging musician who has a lot of rack mountable equipment. I like concept of how easy everything is to get at to hook up unlike enclosed rack cabinets that can be difficult to reach in to plug in equipment. |

| Great item |
| Features:
| Would be nice to have a tray on top to set up a mixer in a horizontal position... but it won't be hard to make that bracket and I will have one soon. |
| Ease of Use:
| Very easy to use and set up ...how could you go wrong...by not having one...does what it is supposed to do and then some. I already mounted a power strip to the bottom base. |

| Just got it but seeems to be made very well |

| Subject: | Excellent for the money! |
| Quality:
| Surprisingly sturdy and dependable. The fuller they get, the more sturdy as the racked gear bridges the metal pieces. |
| Features:
| As another reviewer pointed out, this should be advertised as 11U or even 10U. The bottom slot is useless, the second to bottom is mostly useless, but the unit is surprisingly sturdy and I don't hesitate to put $30,000 worth of gear between 2 of them.
Comes with screws but no washers. |
| Ease of Use:
| took about 3 minutes to setup.. |
| Sound:
| Mettalic :o) |
| Reliability:
| Time will tell, but I don't see how this is ever going to "stop" working. |
| Overall:
| Overall, it's by far the cheapest solution and it's good enough for me. So much so I bought a second unit. |
| Do you own this product?:
| Yes 2 of them! |

| See comments above. |
| Features:
| This product should rightfully be listed as an 11U rack unit. The side rails slope significantly, making the bottom rack slot almost useless. Even relatively shallow devices like the MOTU 828 (7" deep) touch the floor in the bottom slot. Thus, the bottom slot is only usable for patchbays or 1/3U effects processors like the NanoVerb. The vast majority of rack mount devices I've seen just won't fit.
Even the second slot could potentially be problematic, depending on your gear. My preamp (12" deep) barely fits. If it were even a half inch deeper, it would have to move up to the third slot.
It's a shame. For pennies more per unit, they could have made the thing one inch taller and this wouldn't be an issue... or, better yet, they could have made the verticals... oh, I don't know, vertical.... You really have to wonder what they were thinking. |
| Ease of Use:
| It's a rack.... Not much to say. |
| Sound:
| n/a |
| Reliability:
| Just got it. No idea. |
| Overall:
| There's another hardware flaw, too. The thumb screws that hold the bottom crossbar are too large. The result is that it can be hard to tighten them down in a way that they hold things solidly without also acting like feet and making the thing rock back and forth. |
