Review: the reason being is that the screw holes on the bottom of the mounting rails do not line up. i suppose if you want to mount a unit using only 2 screws you certainly can but then your putting the weight of the unit on 2 screws not 4. one of the sides was also not fully machined so when inserted in the top and bottom there is a slight gap. perhaps hitting with a rubber mallet might force it in but i don't have one and using a hammer will certainly damage the unit Review: Well made, real plywood instead of cheap particle board, at a very reasonable price. Easy to assemble. Just make sure you align screw holes for rack plates in front. Unit even came with extra parts in case you lose a small part. Reasonably study. You can glue boards with E6000 for greater stability. Very happy with purchase. I plan on buying more units as needed. ## Features - Elite Furniture Series 8U Desktop Studio Rack in Natural Maple Matte Finish - Elegantly Displays Pro Audio Equipment in Home Recording Studio / Control Room - 8U Spacing Provides Room for Preamps, Audio Interface, Effects Processors, or Similar Gear - Sturdy, 1”/25mm-Thick Plywood Construction - Protective Feet on Base - Ships Flat Packed with Assembly Hardware & Rack Screws (10/32 Size) - Rackable Depth (Front Rail to Rear Lip): 12.75”/323mm - Top Surface Dimensions: 21”/533mm x 14”/356mm ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09TB3TVL5 | | Best Sellers Rank | 61,007 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 45 in Furniture & Silent Racks | | Brand | Gator Frameworks | | Colour | Maple | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (59) | | Finish | Matte,Wood | | Included Components | Assembly Hardware, Rack Screws | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required? | No | | Item Type Name | Elite Series Furniture Desktop 8U Studio Rack MPL | | Item Weight | 22 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Gator Frameworks | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 2 year warranty. | | Material | Wood | | Model Number | GFW-ELITERK-8U-MPL | | Mounting Type | Tabletop | | Number of Shelves | 8 | | Part Number | GFW-ELITERK-8U-MPL | | Recommended Uses For Product | Pro Audio Equipment in Studio/Control Room | | UPC | 716408559940 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Assembly required:** No - **Colour:** Maple - **Finish type:** Matte,Wood - **Material:** Wood - **Number of shelves:** 8 ## Images ![Gator Frameworks Elite Series Furniture Desktop 8U Studio Rack MPL, maple finish (GFW-ELITERK-8U-MPL) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71njm6faBmL.jpg) ![Gator Frameworks Elite Series Furniture Desktop 8U Studio Rack MPL, maple finish (GFW-ELITERK-8U-MPL) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AmbwYJbrL.jpg) ![Gator Frameworks Elite Series Furniture Desktop 8U Studio Rack MPL, maple finish (GFW-ELITERK-8U-MPL) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VWmRDAhYL.jpg) ![Gator Frameworks Elite Series Furniture Desktop 8U Studio Rack MPL, maple finish (GFW-ELITERK-8U-MPL) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UrBlKYUoL.jpg) ![Gator Frameworks Elite Series Furniture Desktop 8U Studio Rack MPL, maple finish (GFW-ELITERK-8U-MPL) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YgtYqpVWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***N on 14 June 2023* the reason being is that the screw holes on the bottom of the mounting rails do not line up. i suppose if you want to mount a unit using only 2 screws you certainly can but then your putting the weight of the unit on 2 screws not 4. one of the sides was also not fully machined so when inserted in the top and bottom there is a slight gap. perhaps hitting with a rubber mallet might force it in but i don't have one and using a hammer will certainly damage the unit ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***0 on 28 February 2026* Well made, real plywood instead of cheap particle board, at a very reasonable price.
