I have had several Thon cases made for my gear, and bought some stock ones including this one for my home studio setup. The finish on all of my Thon cases is actually very good and materials used are quite decent. Perticular these 19" racks are not for hard road use, because they don't have frond and back covers and it's 7mm plywood so the wood is on the thin side. But when you put the gear in, they get real stable, no problems at all. These racks are total killer for home studio use AND they are cheap! Mine also came with a lot of screws, and installing the gear was a breeze, fast and easy.? I can only recommend this rack.
