Great value bit of kit
I wanted a rack unit chassis on a budget to hold my two current 1U units, and also future-proof myself for any potential future purchases. I got this with a 2U rack adapter and some blanking panels. I'm pretty impressed with it, it does what it says on the tin and holds my rack units securely, while not looking too shabby at once.
I've not come across anything like this good value anywhere else on the internet, so that's a huge bonus. It seems pretty sturdy for what it is, though I iamgine rack placement is important - I have one comrpessor with a lot of depth, the unit stretches back really far compared to a digital reverb I have, I imagine if I was to place the compressor on top this added depth would maybe this stand a bit top-heavy and at risk of leaning backwards, so I placed it below the other unit. Overall I was very happy with this unit, though I've deducated 1 star because - the top right screw hole from the front of the unit clearly hasn't been drilled properly, I grappled with trying to hand turn a screw in for ages but it kept threading/knackering the head of the screw (and this is a flat-tip, not even philips) so I think it's a lost cause. A small shame about that but doesn't really affect the functionality and at the price I paid, I can't really complain I would recommend this.

For the price its a nice rack
Its a nice rack but there is a major flaw. The upper hole of the rack cannot be used since there is a long iron stick coming across. There is a workaround: you can choose not to include that iron stick and the rack will be perfectly stable if you put 3 or more rack units. For that reason I took 1 star off, otherwise its a great rack stand for what you pay.

Great for small setups!
Overall, the price for this piece is quite good. The biggest flaw on the whole deal is the low amount of screws (which won't be a problem if you have large rack units!)
I used mine as a desktop station for all my patch bays, which worked brilliantly. The angle is ideal, and works regardless whether you're sitting or standing in front of it.
The second major flaw of the rack are the feet - the rubber feet seem to be of poor quality, and will stain your table if you use them! (A notice on this is kindly provided though, and it's easy to remove them).
Other than that, I can recommend this for anyone with a few rack units just laying on a table - it makes a huge difference having them setup in a rack like this!

Feels sturdy
I bought this for home use and I think it will work well for that. It was easy to assemble and looks and feels very sturdy. It was easy to assemble. My only complaint is that the included screws are very short. I was going to put three units in this straight away but for one of them, I will have to get longer screws, as it's slightly thicker than the other 2 (and most units probably). Also, only 12 screws were included, which means you have to get more, or make do with two per unit, if you want to fill the rack with 1U stuff.

Works well
Does what it is supposed to and is quite sturdy. At the bottom of the rack you can only fit a small rack unit because of the steep angle.

Cheap but not disappointing
I was worried that this would not be very satisfactory, but it does the job fine for the most part, and is surprisingly good for such a low price. The rack was easy to construct and very stable once units were installed and screwed in.
It is worth noting that the angle of "uprights" means that longer units won't fit in the lowest positions, but the Behringer ADA8200 fits at the top with a Novation KS Rack (5U but shallow) installed below without trouble. The ADA8200 would not fit in the lowest position, as it would hit the supporting surface or crossbar.
