Perfect for my needs
I was on the fence about whether to buy a desk with rack spaces built in, or have a free standing rack next to my desk. I decided for a hybrid approach and put together my own desk with a motorized height adjusting base and a cheap Ikea desktop. I bought two unfinished 3u racks which arrived quickly and were packed well. . I finished them by applying Howard's butcherblock oil and then used a foam sanding pad, to sand the entire unit. So the foam pad doubled as an applicator and sander. Once it was smooth to the touch, I wiped off the excess oil, and followed it up with the Howard's conditioner. The Audiorax units look great on my desk, are great for storing my gear within arm's reach, and give me the flexibility when I decide to upgrade this $40 top to a real butcherblock top for my desk. I'll definitely use Audiorax for my future rack needs.

2 x 3u custom racks
I’ve done a lot of research trying to find and compare custom rack companies & these guys were clearly the best! Quality is of the highest caliber while the price point remain 30-50% lower then competitors.. No brainer.

Q:
2 questions. Can a Baltic birch rack be made with the finger joints like your hard wood racks? I want to use a rack for live applications in clubs etc. Can these racks be ordered with a 10” depth. Thanks, Bob
Asked by:
Bob
- 12/16/2019
A:
Yes, we can make these 10 inches deep. The price would be the same as the standard depth. On the checkout page, there is a text box for comments. Enter "Build 10 inches deep". We will see this and enter it in to your order manually.
No, we cannot finger joint the plywood racks.

Q:
It appears that your racks would also fit networking equipment. I have a Ubiquiti switch with the following measurements (17.44" W x 1.69" H x 8.70" D). Would that fit?

A:
That is correct. IT equipment follows the same standard for rack mounting as audio equipment. It will fit perfect.
