3.5 Stars

First purchase of a component rack, and though I'm satisfied in the end, it took a lot of patience and a compromise of my expectations. First the good: very solid construction, and totally customizable in how you can use the panels, door, slots, shelves, and accessories. Add tie-bars to keep cables organized, and it's exactly what you want to bring order to your set-up. Now the bad. There were a number of manufacturing & assembly problems: front door was mounted off-level by ½ inch; the caulk securing the glass panel in the frame was stripped, cracked, or missing in almost the complete perimeter; one blanking panel had a swirl in its paint application; the front corner was scratched; one side of the rack rails was assembled completely out of alignment. The rails were the only fixable problem, but required taking the entire rack almost completely apart in order to adjust. Not a simple task. There were also two surprises: the feet and casters are not silver as pictured, they are powder-coated black, which I liked; and the top & bottom cable access panels are not removable plates, as seen in Crutchfield's outdated owner's manual, they are large, cheap-looking plastic sliders, which I definitely don't like. Customer service was just as unhappy as I was about the defects, and made up for it with a post-sale discount. I didn't want to wrestle with a heavy freight return process, and then risk receiving the same poor-quality build a second time, so I appreciated their offer.

Easy setup. Built like a bank vault. Love the casters and the removeable panels. Has plenty of open slots for wires and cords. Only complaint is the shelves are not as wide as they could be, making some components a tight fit.

Great cabinet!

Very satisfied w/ components cabinet. I wanted an enclosed rack because my electronics in my basement are located under the stairs in a crawl space and it can get a little dusty. This worked perfectly! Man is this thing solidly built, looks terrific and the components are easily accessed through multiple doors. Wire management, surge suppression, heat disbursement, etc. are all handled with the added accessories. I have a receiver, directv box, 4k DVD, and an Xbox in the cabinet and everything fits/works just great!

Great Component Rack

Well built rack. Very configurable with caster wheels or stationary installation purposes. Door can be mounted on either side. I purchased a scratch and dent model but when I received the unit it looked like it took a beating in delivery. It was missing a screw leg which Crutchfield immediately sent out to me. Unfortunately, it also turned out to be defective as the door did not properly reverse. Crutchfield again made it right and is sending me a new unit out. The unit is well made and I can't wait to get it in use. Crutchfield's customer service has been outstanding (as usual)!

Built like a tank

Product was on the scratch and dent price, it arrived in pristine condition, it had just one small dent on top of the unit. But it is noticeable. The unit is built like a tank and is perfect for a modest av equipment collection. I have a power conditioner, receiver, ps4, bluray player, internet modem and router, and a ps3 all installed in the unit, with a space i am saving for a amp. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Very solid product with expansion capabilities and additional accessories. Four stars due to no support on rear of each shelf. Very heavy preamps or UPS might cause slight tilt.

Thank you Crutchfield!

I bought this with skepticism from Crutchfield's Outlet. Watched the Outlet video on Youtube then read a few reviews online and found only positive comments about the Outlet so I took the gamble, best dang purchase ever! This thing was delivered by freight for free. UPS called the day before to schedule the delivery, the delivery guy called that morning of to say he'd be there by 5 pm and 4:58 pm I looked out my office window and UPS freight truck pulled up. Nicely packaged, so good was the packaging that the cardboard in the back that secures the shelving during transit gave me hell to get out. To be honest that was the only issue I had with this beautiful piece, you almost have to take it apart to get to the cardboard on the inside. I chose to use my box cutter and cut/remove small pieces at a time with the back panel off. I've gone over this thing with a flashlight and cannot find even a scratch. Five stars to Crutchfield for their service and delivery. 4 3/4 stars to Sanus for a beautiful and functional piece (deducted a percentage point for that cardboard on the inside lol).

Best 19" rack home entertainment cabinet I could find

The Sanus cabinet was the best thing I could find on line for home entertainment systems. It's well thought out and well made. it came completely assembled which sounds good, but ultimately I had to take it all apart and assemble it for my equipment. Additionally there is a cardboard triangle thing for shipping that you have to take the cabinet apart just to remove. The shelves are sturdy, but you can not use every hole to mount them. If you know 19" rack mount equipment you know sizing shelves and components are based on units 1u..2u etc. The shelves have to be located in 1u increments which is about 2" this cuts down on the versatility of this rack. The removable sides and back are great for shifting equipment and organizing cables however the cabinet itself does not come with any cable organizing system of any kind. I ended up putting 3 UPS units in the bottom. The shelf could not support that weight so I had to get cleaver and flip an unused shelf up side down under the shelf I located the UPS units on. The shelf supported one UPS fine (pictured) The blanking plates accommodate most unused space, but you may have to buy others for your specific equipment. I had to make one out of black cardboard for the lower section where I located the UPS. Now that I have 3 down there It is no longer required.

Just what I needed.

This is a well built cabinet that I was fortunate to happen upon. Obviously not intended to "hang" with proper furniture being a boxy black steel cubicle, but, form indeed follows function. There are some annoyances, but they are too petty to not rate it a full 5 stars. Pricey, most likely due to packaging and shipping. I have the small 2115 and can't speak to the other cabinets. I am fortunate it sets on a hardwood floor as it is safe to say the smallish castors would sink and clog on pile carpeting. Vintage analog high heat tubes and first generation solid state components have warped previous wood cabinets. I managed to fit everything I needed into the 2115, as my wife would not allow anything larger. Yes, I'd bet most women hate its industrial look. Changing the configuration of the skeletal rack inside the cabinet made me mumble words I don't often use, particularly the nut fasteners! The window sticker peels off easy enough, but leaves a stubborn adhesive residual- are you listening Sanus? I stripped out 8 screws trying to install the optional fan unit into the untapped holes in the top- until I got wise and went with stainless screws. I am very happy with the finished result. Looks a lot like a wood burner, but provides a dust free, heat resistant, solid and safe home for my gear. The cat can't disconnect and chew on wiring anymore! And personally, I like the look of my rack mounted reel to reel and electronics through the glass door- despite the wood burner look!

This thing is a BEAST! While I sorta wish the top opening was on the side/back instead - it's top-notch, strong, commercial-grade impressive! Likely more than my little "system" even needed, but it was recommended by a professional, therefore, I bought it.

Nice looking, well built cabinet. Very functional and even better it comes fully assembled. Moving shelves is easy if you have a screw driver or a drill with the proper bit. It's not exactly the kind of cabinet you buy for display in wide open view in most living rooms given it's somewhat industrial look, but if keeping your components organized, secured and out of view are priorities this is a very good piece for that.

Almost Perfect

The cabinet arrived in perfect condition - the packaging was awesome! However, I must remove one star due to the horrible adhesive used to affix literature to the glass door (it took over an hour scraping with a razor blade to remove the adhesive - Goo-Gone did nothing!). Otherwise, the cabinet is exactly what I wanted, and Crutchfield's order handling was great.

Tank

Wow. First off, this isn't remotely a cheap piece of furniture, and while it may look expensive, you are getting every cent you pay for one of these. I'd liken it more to a refrigerator built of depleted uranium. Amazingly engineered, and I seldom say that about things. Nice wheels that won't scratch floors. It is a heavy beast and feels like it will last forever. Currently holds a receiver, cable box and DVD player, plenty of room for a game system as well.

If you have large heavy electronics this is the unit for you. I have two large McIntosh amplifiers that normal media furniture was not large or strong enough to handle.
