“I bought this audio rack to replace an old-fashioned, wooden audio cabinet, and it's worked out very well. Assembly was easy and required no tools. (Be sure, however, to note that the last step is to turn the rack over, so the bottom shelf becomes the top.) It's plenty strong enough to hold my three components, one of which is an ancient Sony amplifier that is extremely heavy. Using my turntable is much easier, now that it's on the top shelf instead of inside a cabinet. It's also nice to have the extra shelf to store accessories. I am very pleased with this purchase.”
