This assessment is based on first impressions. I put the rack together and put it in place, but I haven't used it yet. The building is in good shape. If it can withstand abuse, only time will tell. The instructions, or lack thereof, irritated me right away when I took it out of the box. This is typical of a Chinese-made product, where nothing is assembled and instructions, while likely written in Chinese, are translated into English without regard for how we Americans read things. I consider myself to be resourceful, and I was able to solve the problem. If you rely solely on the instructions for assembly and installation, you will almost certainly fail and become fast friends with the Stark customer service line. assuming they respond. The installation of the carrier brackets, for example, is entirely missing from the assembly instructions. It's the first thing you should do, and you'll have to disassemble it later when you realize it's gone. The Stark decals on the posts had already begun to peel away. They won't be able to withstand the weather. br>I'm pleased with it now that the decals have been removed. There is no such thing as a cheap aluminum rack. I would have given it a 5 if it weren't for the bad instructions and the fact that it was made in China.
Very sturdy, simple to put together, and well-made. I was blown away by what I received. This is how I transport a 17-foot canoe.
On the Chevy Colorado, the rack system performs admirably. It takes me about 10 minutes to put on and take off. I'd like the ladder retention rings to slide out further, but that's due to the width of my bed, and the upright post prevents the retention rings from moving. For me, this isn't a deal breaker at all. It's possible you'll need a deep-cleaning service. The clamps are attached to the wall of your truck bed with a 19mm socket. Also, because my garage door is standard height, I am unable to drive out with my truck's racks. Outside of the garage, the racks must be attached and detached.
It was inconvenient, but they were quick to respond and correct the situation. They not only replaced the missing parts, but they also sent a bunch of extras along with them. The rack was simple to put together and appears to be quite durable. I'll use it to transport kayaks and ladders from time to time. This should be perfect for what I'm looking for.
I've seen a lot of negative reviews about how unclear the instruction manual is; they're right; it's not rocket science; if you don't know how to change oil in your car, you'll have a harder time putting it together; however, if you know how to hold a screwdriver, you should be fine.
These are made of a low-cost aluminum alloy. They're a little thicker than a typical beer can. This product, in my opinion, will not deliver on its promises. Mine was damaged and unusable when I received it. For a piece of garbage, I paid over $250. I also messaged the seller, who was rude and almost standoffish about their subpar product; hindsight being 20/20, I should have just bought something else from a well-known brand!.
We really liked the rack, but we'll have to return it due to space constraints. When we first got it, one of the bolts holding the load stop assembly in place didn't tighten all the way, causing the load stop to move around, which was obviously not ideal for hauling a load. When we requested a replacement, we were told it would be sent. They followed through on their promise, but only sent me the entire load stop assembly, not the broken bolt. We'd like to keep it and are even willing to purchase the bolt, but there are no replacement parts for this item, so if anything goes wrong, your rack is rendered useless.
This is a fantastic rack that has been meticulously designed. The bolts and other components are of excellent quality. My purchase has exceeded my expectations!.
