Review: convenient accessory for rack - I bought 2 of these because I was going to use them for things that were not too heavy, a Mac Book, and a guitar effects pedal. It holds them well only using the front screws to mount. I would not try this for anything heavier however since without the rear screwed in, it's a bit bouncy/flimsy. That said, it is perfect for my setup.
Review: More than I wanted to spend, but well worth every dime. - This is one of those rack accessories I wish I'd bought years ago. It is a very well built from quality materials, and the design is equally impressive. (I remember thinking how I wish my kitchen cabinets were built this well.) I like the use of stainless steel fasteners (included), and quality bearings that are very low noise. Note - it will be a much easier install if you remove enough rack gear adjacent the unit to get between the rails and the rack sides from the top or bottom of the tray being installed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good deal, with some rough edges
*by F***P on March 16, 2012*

Several reviewers have complained about the lack of instructions, I found this to be straightforward to install with the following procedure: 1.) Separate the two sections of the slides by depressing the plastic tab within the slide mechanism (like any other drawer). You should now have two slide halves and the center drawer section. 2.) For each slide, loosen the two screws on the rear rack ear and adjust the length for your rack. Tighten the screws once you have the correct length. 3.) Install the two slides into your rack. 4.) Insert the drawer until it locks into place on the slides. You are now finished installing the rack drawer. Build quality is OK, not great, not terrible. I use this for light items (<10 lbs), I wouldn't try to load 20lbs on to it personally.
