Review: Very sturdy, great value - Very sturdy once everything is fit together and a few pieces of gear are installed to keep it from racking. Heavy gauge steel. Captive nuts riveted in almost everywhere. Many of the parts are reversible which makes it hard to screw up, just pay attention to the numbering and eyelet direction on the main vertical posts. Clever design keeps the overall parts number fairly low, good job from their design team. A bit awkward to build at a few steps since several pieces have to be held in place off the floor to bolt it all together. It definitely helps to have an extra pair of hands or perhaps a few small clamps could stand in to hold things in place while getting bolts started. Overall build is pretty simple, just bolting the corners together. You might consider measuring corner to corner as you put the final grunt on the bolts to keep everything square since there's really no corner/racking bracing, but the its quite close even without this effort. Just about everything required comes with the kit including wrenches for the bolts. The loose nut caster interface will actually require two of the smaller wrenches but only one is included. Not a big deal. One or two steps in the instructions make no sense, like instructing the consumer to put a washer on the back side of an interface then use a wrench to hold the washer while tightening the bolt. I'm sorry, do what now!?!? Luckily it is easy enough to figure out, but I think they skipped proofreading the instructions. A supply of cage nuts and bolts are included, but I went with Rack Studs instead. Despite a few very minor flaws still giving it 5 stars for outstanding value, chonkiness factor per dollar, simple and clever design, and fit for purpose. Open design makes installing sliding rails a lot easier. Great for a home lab. Unless you want enclosed side panels this is a great product. Use the money saved to buy rails, shelves, etc. Review: Worth the money - Very conservative packaging for shipment. Each piece in its own bubble wrap, well reinforced box. Instructions are marginal, but they are in decipherable English. Fit and finish is very good. No misaligned bolt holes or other similar issues. The riv-nut style pressed-in threaded fasteners for the frame bolts are a much better solution than is typical in this type of rack. I have only one complaint. The provided 16mm long bolts are too short to give enough thread engagement in the locations where two layers of frame are involved. Only a few threads are engaged. I replaced the bolts with 20mm long ones in those 12 locations. The casters are sturdy with a nice wide wheel, but I don't think makes sense to use them in a tall 42U rack. These things can get really tippy with anything heavy mounted up high. All in all, quite a sturdy and well made rack for the money. ## Features - ADJUSTABLE DEPTH: 4-Post 42U open frame server rack with 4 vertical rails and adjustable mounting depth 22" to 40" (56,0cm to 101,7cm); Compatible with various servers / switches / data / AV and other IT equipment; EIA/ECA-310-E Compliant - EASY ASSEMBLY: Mobile network rack with easy-to-follow assembly instructions and online video; Compact flat-pack shipping to avoid damage and facilitate installation; Total product height of 80.3in (204 cm) with casters, 78in (198cm) without casters - COLD ROLLED STEEL: Durable 4 Post 19in open frame rack designed for ventilation with 42U mounting height and 1320lb (600kg) weight capacity (stationary); 3 install options included: casters, levelling feet, or base-plate to secure rack to the floor - HARDWARE INCLUDED: Rolling computer/data rack includes cage nuts and screws to mount equipment, easy to read Units (U) and depth adjustment markings, cable management hooks for organization, and required assembly tools - THE IT PRO'S CHOICE: Designed and built for IT Professionals, this 42U rack is backed for 2-years, including free lifetime 24/5 multi-lingual technical assistance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HVKOPBW | | Best Sellers Rank | #31 in Computer Racks & Cabinets | | Brand | StarTech.com | | Built-In Media | 2 Left Vertical Rail, 2 Right Vertical Rail, 2 Base Bracket, 8 Corner Section, 4 Center Section, 2 Top Bracket, 50 M8 Bolt, 50 M8 Washer, 1 M8 (13mm) Wrench, 1 M6 (10mm) Wrench, 6 Phillips Screwdriver, 4 M6 grounding wire bolts (short), 4 M6 grounding wire lock washers, 50 M6 Cage Nut, 50 PVC Cup Washer, 50 M6 Phillips Head Screw, 24 Cable Management Hook, 24 Hook Mounting Screw, 4 Casters, 4 Leve… | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | compatible with most rack equipment | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,007 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 years | | Enclosure Material | Alloy Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030855211, 00650308552116 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 44.1"D x 77.6"W x 23.6"H | | Item Highlight | Mobile or floor mount IT rack, Cage nuts & screws, U & depth markings, Cable management, 80.3in tall | | Item Type Name | Rack Frame | | Item Weight | 38.5 kg | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Mfr Part Number | 4POSTRACK42 | | Model Number | 4POSTRACK42 | | Mounting Type | Floor Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 44.1"D x 77.6"W x 23.6"H | | Size | 42U | | UPC | 065030855211 650308552116 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 2-Year | | Weight Capacity | Maximum weight: 1322 pounds | ## Product Details - **Brand:** StarTech.com - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Product Dimensions:** 44.1"D x 77.6"W x 23.6"H - **Size:** 42U ## Images ![4POSTRACK42 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61hZRbbLDoS.jpg) ![4POSTRACK42 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Zq3emMbFS.jpg) ![4POSTRACK42 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pOkVaehjS.jpg) ![4POSTRACK42 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Iu4aLSxGS.jpg) ![4POSTRACK42 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ja98Peu9S.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very sturdy, great value *by V***. on January 25, 2026* Very sturdy once everything is fit together and a few pieces of gear are installed to keep it from racking.

So, the instructions aren't great, but they aren't terrible, and a youtube search finds enough videos to help. But there's one thing that still wasn't really clear to me, and obviously I got wrong once - When adjusting the depth, if it says 1/1 for 24" - that means the first holes should show those numbers. If you do that, everything is precise. Overall, though, I really didn't have any problems assembling it, I probably would have had it done by myself in about 45min, but I was trying to be deliberate and avoid a tear-down (oops). But if you have enough room, light, the right tools, and have it on material that allows you to move it, lay it down, roll it over, etc. without fear of your floors being damaged, it's pretty easy. Now, it's nice they include tools, but I used my own which made the job faster/easier. I really liked all of the hardware they supply. They include extra nuts/bolts, so no issues there (they may have listened to past reviews?!), and especially the rack bolts, and cable management bars on the sides were great - great quality, and I didn't think i'd need them or use them, but they ended up being better than what I had. Packaging and shipping were great - I thought the box would be bigger, but it really isn't, but do your driver a favor and help them unload it! It was well packaged and no damaged, missing pieces, but the packing materials did take the brunt of it. SOLID - VERY SOLID. Surpringsly, but not due to other reviewers comments, it doesn't budge. Even without installing a full-length shelf in the middle, though I'm sure it'll help. I cut down a piece of plywood and through on top for my wifi, but I will eventually put my kvm moniter on top. I haven't even bolted down the top, and I have no concerns about that. I was worried that going from an ikea desk (;-\) to an actual metal rack would introduce some resonante noise, but even as open-post and equipment exposed, it's just as quiet as before. Very happy, hope I don't outgrow it too any time soon! Though, i have ZERO complaints on the price due to the great quality and extras, and free shipping... If I did outgrow, I wouldn't hesitate to get the 42U version. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com 4-Post 42U Mobile Open Frame Server Rack, 19in Network Rack with Wheels, Rolling Rack for Computer/AV/Data/IT Equipment - Casters, Leveling Feet or Floor Mounting (4POSTRACK42) - StarTech.com 1U Adjustable Vented Server Rack Mount Shelf - 175lbs - 19.5 to 38in Adjustable Mounting Depth Universal Tray for 19" AV/ Network Equipment Rack - 27.5in Deep , TAA (ADJSHELF) - StarTech.com 2U Server Rack Shelf - Universal Vented Rack Mount Cantilever Tray for 19" Network Equipment Rack & Cabinet - Heavy Duty Steel - Weight Capacity 50lb/23kg - 16" Deep Shelf, TAA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://frenchpolynesia.desertcart.com/products/4554561-4postrack42](https://frenchpolynesia.desertcart.com/products/4554561-4postrack42) --- *Product available on Desertcart French Polynesia* *Store origin: PF* *Last updated: 2026-10-14*
