My use of this was a bit "off-label." Instead of mounting equipment vertically to a wall, I used it to mount equipment horizontally under a desk. It worked great for this. A couple of notes:
* There are only two holes for fastening the bracket to the wall / desk / thing. This worked fine for me, the equipment I was mounting was only about 15lbs. If you're mounting something heavier, you might want to drill a couple extra holes.
* The fasteners that come with it: weird. I don't know how they're even supposed to work. Plan on buying your own, for attaching to the thing you're attaching to.
* Something called a "Lath Screw" worked great for this. It has a flat pan head on it, fine threads, and also a sharp starter bit at the end of the screw. Super easy, and cheap at the local big box store.
* This thing comes with what are called cage nuts. On the contrary, this is not referring to the reproductive organs of a certain actor that's always solving things; it means that the threads into which you're mounting are self contained in a small nut that snaps into the bracket. This is a really good thing. If you end up stripping a thread, you can just replace the cage nut, and not have to throw the whole thing in the trash. Eco living, buy it for life, etc.
The construction-- it is very well made and finished. No sharp edges, thick coat of paint, might even be powder coated. It comes with a set of rack screws that fit into the cage nuts.
I think I'll order another one of these just to have it around, it's that useful.
