Sound TownEnhanced Thickness 1/2” (12mm) Plywood 8U Audio Rack/Road ATA Case with 11U Slant Mixer Top, 20’’ Rackable Depth, Casters, 8 Space Size, Pro Tour Grade (STMR-8UW)

I just spent a lot of money on other equipment and needed a quick rack to store my gear on the cheap. For the people leaving poor reviews and saying for the price they expected better quality. I would say these racks are super inexpensive compared to other brands. What I can say so far as I just recieved it is: it came perfectly intact. The build for the price seems quite good. What I expect from cases I have owned in the past with the same type if outer paneling, do not leave it in the hot sun. It will probably warp. We'll see how it fairs with use. My equipment is heavy and this case will see a fair share of beating. I didn't have any dents or missing hardware when it arrived like mentioned in 1 star ratings. It came perfect and well packed. The caster wheels seem sturdy. Not trying to talk down on the brand, however, like mentioned above- the price point is low. My low point so far, is the rachet seems a bit flimsy. I can see it possibly failing. So I hope this case last me for a bit until I can afford more expensive brands. But, I haven't even taken it out once yet. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised and it will last for several years. So far I like it and it looks good. I will update my review after some use.

This thing is cool! Works great!

This item is well made. The rivits are all in place. It is heavy and heavy duty. There was a surface skuff on the back cover due to shipping damage through the box. It could be covered a little better. If you are using it for its intended purpose, it will get skuffs. I am not going to return it. The rack mount holes worked for my items. The closure hardware/ latches are good quality.

This travel case is one of the best purchases our band has ever made and we've been around for over a decade. It's a high-quality piece of equipment at an unbelievably low price. It has all the features of more expensive cases. Assembly only took about 15 minutes. Putting it together and installing all of our equipment was a breeze.For a small- to medium-sized band, this is the travel case you need. It's built to industry standards and all the equipment (amps, compressor, wireless mic receiver, mixer, etc.), fit perfect.We installed a power strip and an LED light. These would be good options for the manufacturer.

We have a small 4-piece band that uses a 16 channel mixer, two amps and some processor boards. In the past, we had these units in two smaller 4u and 8u portable racks. The mixer was separate. We upgraded the mixer and needed another 3u of rack space. We ordered this Sound Town 12U PA DJ Rack and moved everything in to this new unit. It's has wood panels framed with aluminum for sturdiness. The covers have the snap, twist lock fastners and tongue and groove coupling to hold them in position. I had to install the wheels (easier to ship with them off) but all the hardware was with the unit including enough rack screws for the equipment. It's heavy, but rolls very easily. Our first gig next year will be the test.

Could have come with a full time volunteer Roadie. (roflol).All in all? Waaaaayy better than I hoped for.Thanks tons to Steven M. at Sound Town for your willing and professional assistance to help decision making.You're a true Pro good Sir.Wesley Deaka "One Lick Wesley"

I was a little nervous after reading some of the other reviews, but figured if it didn't work out, Amazon has a great return policy. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I was almost able to give it a 5 star rating. First off, it has sturdy construction and the casters are heavy duty. My only mark off is because one of the mounting holes was not threaded. The piece that was installed in that position was light, so I opted to go with just three mounting screws. I could have used a small bolt as an alternative. The side table option is useful. The table fits into some brackets on the side of the case. There is no locking mechanism for these side brackets. I was concerned that the table might get bumped and our side equipment would fall on the floor. So I bolted a small piece of wood over top of the brackets to secure the table connector from coming loose. Overall, very happy. A big improvement. And the top shelf was perfect for our Behringer X32 producer mixer. I am not able to fit the top cover on, but I don't care.

Heavy Duty.....is a stretch. Good box for the price but is not made to be abused. Thin wood and too little support with covers off. No rack rails for rear mounting either.
