Gator Frameworks Elite Furniture Series 8U Wood Desktop Studio Rack in Natural Maple Matte Finish (GFW-ELITERK-8U-MPL)

This unit was just what I was looking for. Seemed a little pricey for a 2 unit rack but it adds value to my living room while housing my subwoofer crossover and power rack.

Works great for holding an audio interface or two on your desk. Frees up space and lets you stack more stuff on top of it. Good quality for the price when you also factor in it had to be shipped. Feels sturdy when fully assembled. Assembly was easy.

Awesome small scale rack - mounted my rack mount tuner and power conditioner with ease, and it looks great!

This is a nice desktop rack, very solid, but it's pricy for what you actually get. They grey color looks a bit more brown to me as well. Overall, though, it's easy to assemble (use a power driver), and gets the job done. I wish they made a 10U version. Lots of extra parts included; don't worry, they really are extra.

Strong and easily assembled, finish is nicer than it looks in pix.

Exactly what I wanted. A bit of a hassle to put together as far as time wise but easy directions and good craftsmanship went into this product.

It looks great, and it's pretty solid wood, but I noticed when I rested a preamp inside, that the rack holes aren't aligned from the bottom of the cabinet. It's off on each side by less than 1/4 of an inch. It's less noticeable when you rack all of your equipment. I expected this to be more precise since it looks machine-done. The logo on the bottom of the rack isn't placed straight either, which speaks to their attention to detail. It will work, but I expected better quality control.

This is a well-built rack, it is listed as 4U however the opening space is actually 4.5U. Unfortunately the equipment mounting panels don't go completely up and down to fill the opening, if the did you could actually screw in 4.5U of equipment! As you can see in my photo I have 4.5U of equipment installed into the rack however the top and bottom units can't be screwed in because the screw panels are only 4U.

the reason being is that the screw holes on the bottom of the mounting rails do not line up. i suppose if you want to mount a unit using only 2 screws you certainly can but then your putting the weight of the unit on 2 screws not 4. one of the sides was also not fully machined so when inserted in the top and bottom there is a slight gap. perhaps hitting with a rubber mallet might force it in but i don't have one and using a hammer will certainly damage the unit

The Amazon listing doesn't state this but the Gator website does, it is constructed from cheap plywood with only a thin wood finish of whichever colour you choose. Really obscene to charge $300 incl. shipping for a little plywood hutch essentially, other people seem to have greater issues than me with the pre-drilled holes for the rack frames and wood dowels not lining up but mine aren't great either, it's not as noticeable with the 2U units than how far the 4-8-10-12U units go out by. I have a nice big slosh of wood filler on the front ledge of mine to mask up an impurity on the thin maple finish which just subtracts from the whole purpose of getting a furniture look rack entirely. It also only comes with 6 rack screws and washers, 2 short of being able to rack 2 1U units which is completely bizarre, as if the intent was to make people buy a whole additional pack of rack screws just to use this how it would be in most setups. Other than this it looks OK and does its job, but the quality is really not worth the price.

Having seen negative comments on another similar product from the same brand, I was a little scared. But in the end this rack is really good !
