Customer Reviews for VEVOR 20U Open Frame Server Rack, 15''-40'' Adjustable Depth, Free Standing or Wall Mount Network Server Rack, 4 Post AV Rack with Casters, Holds All Your Networking IT Equipment AV Gear Router Modem

I am going to be real, I did not expect much out of a rack this cheap but I am glad to have been proved wrong. It is shockingly stable and sturdy. I put a heavy 2u server and a 3u storage array in it along with a switch and a few other things and it is rock solid. Only issue is the top they gave you is too small for anything but the smallest config. I am fabbing one up out of butcherblock that I think will look pretty dope. All in all for a home lab this is a great purchase.

Very heavy duty and good quality unit. A little involved to assemble, but it is worth the time and effort. I bought the 15 unit rack after buying this 12 unit one.

For the price, it doesn't get any better than this! It was really easy to put together and is nice and sturdy. The wheels do struggle a bit when it's fully loaded up, but it still moves around ok. One thing to note is that the top cover is sized for the rack without it being extended. I extended mine and have a large gap at the back. Not a big deal, but I didn't think about that until I put it all together.

Easy to assemble. Fit everything I needed it to and seems quite sturdy. I was even able to put a clamp mount on it for a monitor for easier access to the server in the rack.

The EVOR 12U Open Frame Server Rack is a solid choice for anyone needing a versatile and sturdy rack solution. The build quality is excellent—durable steel construction ensures stability and reliability whether it's used as a free-standing or wall-mounted unit. I particularly appreciate the adjustable depth feature (23''-40''), which accommodates various equipment sizes and future scalability needs. Moreover, the EVOR rack comes at a great price point, offering exceptional value compared to other racks in its class. However, where this rack falls short is in the instructions provided. While assembly is straightforward for those familiar with server racks, the instructions could be clearer, especially for first-time users. A bit more detail or visual aids would greatly improve the setup process. Overall, the EVOR 12U Open Frame Server Rack is a high-quality product that meets my needs perfectly once assembled. It's robust, versatile, and offers great value for money. Just be prepared to take some extra time if you're new to setting up server racks.

Excellent product that now contains a 1U ethernet switch, 1U power bar, KVM, and several component shelves. Easy to assemble with a power screwdriver. Just make sure the clutch is set properly so you don't overpower and strip the screws.

The instruction are very vague. Had to go and watch the video online on Vevor's website. Pictures in manual do not show all angles. Overall, like this rack for my stereo system.

Instructions could have been better and the material a bit thicker, but for its cost and use, this will be fine.

[Briefly] Assembly took me about an hour and a half- the pieces are NOT symmetric and you need to follow along with the product manual to minimize how many pieces you install backwards or on the wrong spot. A power drill (with Phillips #2 bit) is absolutely necessary for assembly; the design drives screws directly into undersized metal holes. The only tapped portion of the frame are the four caster mounts. [Extended] In geometry class you should expect to encounter Euler’s formula for polyhedral, F + V = E + 2. The number of faces, plus corners is equal to the number of edges plus two. While assembling this box you will become intimately familiar with its consequences. The four edges running front to back are assembled from three pieces each to accommodate an adjustable depth. Two screws couple the front of the arm to the center, and another two couple the center to the back. 16 screws later and the bag seems as full as you started. Then, the vertical pillars are attached with a further two screws at each corner. 16 more screws, 32 in total. This bag only starts to show signs of use. The left and right sides are formed. The cross-bars are attached to link the two sides. A further two screws for each corner. 16 more, 48 in total. The bag remains about 3/4 full. Corner braces are now attached to firmly attach the cross bars to the sides forming the depth of the box. Four screws per brace, eight braces. 32 screws, 80 in total. The bag is still over half full. Finally, you can attach the top panel. Only 14 more screws needed. 94 Screws in Total. You find out that the top is only sized for one particular depth. Do you go back and fix this mistake, or can you finally start tightening all these screws?

Just upfront, my comments and ratings are heavily considering the price, which was 30% less than other similar options I saw. The biggest complaint/issue for me was the packing. It came with the corner of the top cover/shelf bent up about an inch or so. I was able to hammer it flat enough to hardly notice, unless you know what you are looking for.   Comes with concrete expansion bolts to wall mount, also includes the casters all with brakes. Came with 16 standard rack clip mounts and bolts that use an allen wrench (included). Not familiar enough to compare quality but 1 clip did brake after a couple add/removes. The 12 Us are labeled both front and rear side, which is nice. The 2 trays that come with it, I assume would cover most random uses, I only needed 1 of them. Having 2 though gives options (imo). I put a small battery backup on the larger shelf which did sag a little, these are heavy so not surprised. It seems sturdy enough. Nothing seems overly cheap or flimsy. Assembly is pretty straight forward, the instructions aren't great, but they aren't the worst I have seen. I did end up having to reverse some parts, some of the side bar orientation wasn't really clear in the image, but they did specifically try to call out certain features like the caster holes for proper orientation (though the same parts have the U labeled so difficult to put upside down anyways. The adjustability is a nice feature if needed (I didn't), so cannot comment of sturdiness if fully expanded. Those particular bars came pre-assembled in the shortest configuration which was nice. The instructions did include steps to put them together as if they weren't.
