Millenium Steel Box 6

I needed a small metal rack for some computer gear, and this dinky little box was the only one small enough! I was not expecting quality for this price, and didn't get it either: The Steel Box 6 came well packed from Thomann, but out of the box it already had a dent on one side as the metal is so weak. After taking off the plastic, my next job was to wipe away all the dust - inside and out. Some paint had already come off at edges. The metal and the construction is so light, that I could probably tear the whole thing into a pieces with bare hands.

This steel box is ok for my specific use, so no complaints! But for racking music gear I will stay with K&M and such.

I got this to rack up some gear in my home studio setup. The box had a very unobtrusive look which is a big plus when I'm using it at home.

It is very sturdy and not likely to break with normal use. Unlike many other cheap metal racks the dimensions are accurate enough to actually fit the advertised number of rack units.

The only con is that it's got some VERY sharp edges around the front. I cut my hand really badly the first time I handled it. The only way to use it safely was to file down the sharp edges. This obviously damaged the black finish so sadly it looks a bit beat up now.

If it wasn't for the sharp edges I would have recommended this product without reservations but it's a really nasty flaw to be honest. Still, not many competitors at this price. You get what you pay for.
