- How long have you been using it?
Over two years
- Which feature do you like the most / the least?
Pro: price.
Con: quality
- Did you try any other models before buying it?
Yes
- How would you rate its value for money?
Ok. It's not expensive so it's no top quality!
- Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?
Not sure...
I don't own this exact model. It's nearly the same model but the top rails can be tilted over the top. Which is very convenient to access the rear panel of a mixer you have on the rack. Like in my case.
The main advantage of this product is its very affordable price. It's difficult to find such a rack for this price. If you want higher quality the price will be a lot higher. It's a good solution for people on a budget or people who don't want to spend too much money on a rack.
But don't expect a high-quality product. I didn't use it a lot because I stopped touring soon after I bought it. Nevertheless, the snap catches are already oxidized and hard to open.
The wood is a bit thin so the product must be handled carefully. It's not roadie-proof!!! It's a product for a band that uses its own gear.
BTW it's not very convenient for transportation. This bulky rack has only two handles placed right in the middle. In spite of my long arms I can hardly hold it by myself. And mine is pretty light since it's not full and I only have some light effect processors on it. No amp for example.
Anyway, it's normal for a such big rack to be rather heavy and be transported by two persons. Hence it should have two handles on each side. Considering that the gear's weight is concentrated on the front the rack tilts when you try to lift by the handles only.
Once you know all these things it isn't really a bad purchase: the rack isn't very durable but it does its job and your gear is protected for a few bucks.
