An okay hardcase
I have to say that it looked better in photos than when I held it in my hands.
It is very lightweight and doesn’t feel particularly robust. I wouldn’t suggest carrying expensive and important equipment in it day after day, but I guess it's okay for storing stuff in a studio and occasionally moving around with it.
It could use a couple of extra pop rivets on the timing to make it sturdier.
A bit annoying thing about it is that the feet are made out of very hard plastic, so it slides around if you put it on any smooth surface such as a tabletop. I am definitely missing rubber feet on it. Although they are advertised as rubber feet, they definitely are not.
All in all, it is fine for the very cheap price it is being sold.

You get what you pay for.....
I bought this case to house a Furman PL Plus CE and a KHE AMP/Cab/Loop switcher in an easy to move package.
I looked at other heavier duty cases and also the Proel 3U sleeve - all these alternatives were around £20-£30 more expensive. I read the reviews of this case and understand that it is a budget solution.
On receipt, I agree with other reviews that it is lightweight and also a little flimsy - for example the plastic handle is loose without ever having been used and the sleeve of the case only holds its designed structural shape with the doors/lids in place. Hopefully this will improve once the rack units themselves are in place but not an encouraging start.
The accompanying screws/washers were loose inside the case and several had become wedged fast in the rails and needed pliers ro remove them.
I'm borderline considering a return but will see if it will suffice for my studio needs.
Given the "out of the box" structural issues and poor handle fixing, I would be very wary about trusting it ito protect the contents if any kind of third-party road or air shipment were needed unless it is wrapped in bubble wrap and placed back in the shipping box in which it was delivered - which pretty much negates it's raison d'etre.
IMO definitely NOT road worthy - maybe good enough for my immediate needs (TBA)
If you need it for any kind of medium to heavy use - go for a professional quality case, not this one.
