OK, but not great.
Seemed expensive for what it is. Quite thin sheet, and a few of the corners were mis shaped on arrival, even tho it was well packaged. Assembled ok, and looks good once in use, but 3/5 because it’s quite flimsy and was expecting heavier gauge sheet/better quality for the price. Think it’s priced as a ‘server cabinet’, but if it was any other steel cupboard it’d be 3/5 of the price for the quality I’d say. Wouldn’t want to wall mount it with any weight in it.

Cheap for a reason
I needed something to tidy up all my networking kit - this will be used to house a patch panel, my router, and a switch.This is cheap. Very cheap - and I don’t just mean in price.Apparently it support 30kg - I doubt that very much. When I mount it to the wall, I’ll be adding some shelving brackets below it as the metal isn’t thick enough to support that sort of weight.Each of the four vertical mounting rails, for supporting your kit, are held in by two small M4 screws each - and these are screwed into the thin metal of the cabinet. Without washers (not supplied) it’s not possible to screw these in properly - luckily I had some washers to hand.The metal is very thin, and with how it’s screwed together, the quality is pretty poor.But, I knew I was buying cheap - albeit I wish now I didn’t.It should be able to handle a shallow switch and patch panel without too much issue. As well as a power strip.It also has a cutout to add a 12cm case fan.Additionally, either via poor handling with the delivery or from the factory, this was riddled with dents and scuffs. See the photos.It took me about 20 minutes to put together with a single screwdriver.At the end of the day, it’ll hopefully do the job I ask from it. But with the added shelving brackets and poor quality overall, and questionable weight limits that it can supposedly support, I wish I’d saved myself the hassle, and future limitations, and bought higher spec.[Edit: 25/10/24].Finally had time to put some stuff in it.I stated with placing a shelve that I bought for this. Fitted okay, however the flex in the vertical runners, without loading it, was pretty poor.I added my switched, and then my panel, and the chassis has started to flex.This is no good for its intended use. I estimate the total I have is less than 15kg. I’ve yet to add my router, and I’ll do this tomorrow to avoid wifi interruption tonight.This is clearly not fit for purpose. I do know know where the other two ‘ratings’ have came from, because this is terrible.Do not waste your money.I have since checked the specs on the paper work (not available in the description as of today), and the chassis is made of 0.6mm steel, and the vertical runners are 1mm zinc plated.Stay away.
