Review: Great so far! - StarTech 18U hinged cabinet just came in today. First and foremost, there was absolutely zero damage from shipping. 👍 Was really worried about this reading other reviews. We have not hung this cabinet yet, but the cabinet already being put together make this cabinet worth every penny.
Review: Solid, heavy quality - I've read many reviews on the packaging and damage during shipping for many of these cabinets. This came fully assembled with no damage at all. The only set up I did was adjusting the back rails all the way back. This is a very high quality rack. I highly recommend the back hinge if you plan on working in the rack regularly. I find that I open it up almost every time I need to do something in the rack. So much easier to work on it with free back access. For my low heat equipment, I like the open vents for free air flow. Steel is thick, welds look good, tolerances are tight, very confident in the build. Installed with 4 lag bolts (5/16x2in) into studs, holds strong. Again, highly recommend the hinged back for anyone that wants or needs to tinker in their rack frequently.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very well built
*by A***S on June 3, 2023*

Awesome Unit. Very well built. Arrived in perfect condition. Already assembled. It was a bit heavy, but my wife and I were able to wall mount it. Didn't come with wall mounting screws, so you will need to buy those. Highly recommend.
