Feels almos like a scam
Liukke 07.02.2022
I feel very bad giving a harsh review on a Thomann owned brand but...this rack is awful.
First things first...it comes with half of needed screws, only 12, despite saying just "Includes screws" in the description.

If you check carefully one of the photos it shows the "only" 12 screws, it feels like one of those cheap scams because another package of M5 screws costs 3.90€ and of course you end up with MORE than needed.

So if you plan to put serious equipment on that rack (which requires all 4 screws per module) then either buy something else of consider the extra cost.
I thought I was in Germany where things are usually fair but looks like I ended up in a classic American scam...my bad.

Second huge problem, the quality just sucks.
Feels like they coated the paint without caring for the screw threads, which simply don't work.
My whole right side of the rack was a pain in the butt to fix, the screws simply didn't fit in, I had to manually tap the holes with a sharper and specific screw so that it fits...in the meantime I ended up with stripped screws while trying to use the freaking product as intended.

Damn, after almost a decade of doing purchases on Thomann this is the first time I feel embarrassed for them, how can they sell this :/

Works fine, but bring your own screws
Emlyn K Helicopter 07.01.2023
Pros (with caveats):

Construction is solid - heavy duty 3.5mm steel nicely finished with rugged black powder-coating (but see * below). This thing will house a hefty unit on it's top row and not wobble.

30 degree angle great for desktop use (but see ** below).

Cons (with work-arounds):

*As noted in other reviews, the screw-holes must be tapped before use. I used one of the supplied screws to carefully go in and out of each hole - no problems after that. The supplied screws are useless - too soft and WAY too short. On my range of rack gear the thickness of the rack ears goes from 2mm to 6mm, so on even the middle-thickness units the screw only goes into the thread half-way. Thats a recipe for breaking things! Luckily for me I had a bag of spare (longer, harder) screws. For the sake of a couple more Euros they really should give you decent screws, and 24 of them!

**Note that the lowest two or three slots are restricted due to the 30 degree rack - it's not possible to mount anything longer than 12cm on the 2nd row without hitting the legs. But its fine for mounting shallower units - I've put a Behringer Model D (with rack ears) at the bottom and it fits just fine - plus spare room underneath to slide in an old RX-17 drum machine.

Also note that the thin top crossbar obscures the top-most slot. But that isn't a problem if you've already put one or two units in lower down - those plus the main bottom crossbar are all thats needed to make the rack sturdy.

Despite the cons, I'm ordering another one of these (12u this time) as its solid, the angle is just right and its SO cheap!

Great value bit of kit
FOILHAT 30.09.2019
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.

Very useful
ElrondSch 08.07.2020
Easy to assemble.
I have three units in it(Scarlett 18i20, Behringer ADA8000, Behringer Power Play 8000). Everything is held in place very well, connects to each other very easily in the back and is carried all together as a single piece very easily.
If you dont need to put more stuff together - then this will serve you nicely.

For the price its a nice rack
Thomas Ikon 27.06.2022
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.

Pretty bad....even for the low price
Bowsy 14.01.2023
I have bought millenium stuff before, normally it is ok, cheap and cheerful. This small rack however is very poor indeed. The quality is poor and the tolerances are all over the place. The horisonal stability bar is several mm too long meaning the stands skewed. The crude build quality means the screws can barely fit in, and the holes are not quite in the right place to fit my module (A beautifully made Vermona DRM). Don't buy it.

Great for small setups!
Izmotion 29.08.2023
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
jonsson 13.12.2019
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
Producent 17.07.2022
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.

Reasonably stable but the screws supplied tp fit consoles to the stand, do not fit the holes and strip as soon as you try to put them in.
