This stand is a decent stand. It is tough and seems to be built well. The metal seems of good quality for sure. However, the stand has a big down side in regards to its function. There is a support strut that goes across the top of the stand. Well this pretty much rules out the chance of installing any 1u rack device. You just cannot avoid this strut. So your robbed of basically the top 1u slot. The next thing that robs you of another 1u is the fact that the stand is too low to allow the bottom 1U space to be filled. As others have said this stand is more like a 4U.
I guess it's down to poor design that two 1U slots are made redundant. So be careful in your choice of stand. Luckily there was no great urgency for me to have 6U, I just chose this stand for the extra space available if I need it perhaps in the future.
One other thing, which is not a big deal, but it would have saved some time. There is no guide on how to setup the stand. It is straight forward but a simple diagram would have helped. Must things come with set up diagrams, it's not a big ask to have had one supplied. I had to go onto the website again to see what the stand looked like so I didn't install the strut and the rear bar in opposite positions.
Performance wise the stand holds up well. It seems quite sturdy and so long as it's not abused it will hold your rack gear no problem. Obviously it will not take a huge 4U rack PA as this would just be too heavy. But it will hold your 1 U preamps and EQs and noise gates with no issues and it sits very stable on a flat surface such as a desk or cabinet.

Lowest spaces not usable for regular rack devices, didn't check this before buying. Check if the devices you want to mount aren't too deep.

More like 4U in my opinion

The angle and construction make the two lowest Us practically unusable. The lowest U can’t even fit a patch bay

There are some problems with this "rack". First, if you have 4 long devices it is almost impossible to use lower row, because of no space at all. For my situation I can use it only for 3 of my rack units, I experienced problem even with MOTU 128 Express (it's really short) on the lower row. Can't recommend it.

its strongly built but not 100% aligned properly, I had difficulty with screws on 1 side, a little grease helped. realistically the bottom 2u cant be used, the 2nd from bottom will fit an alesis microverb IV which is very shallow. so think of this as a 4u rack

3U at best

As other reviews have stated, due to the angle, and depending on the size of the units that need to be mounted, it is difficult to use all of the 6 slots. i have since replaced this by building my own..
