(More customer reviews)I've stacks of AV equipment, and doing any maintenance like adding a cable, replacing a DVD player or TV and such is a tough chore that requires two to three people to do it right. The slide out, rotating base of this product works as advertised. Now, by myself, I can now safely slide out, and disassemble the AV stack until I get to the unit I am replacing. Re-connecting cables is easy.
Installation was easy. I used a power drill to drive the screws (6 in total) to fasten the base to the floor of the cabinet. I recommend fastening in the unit as close to the front edge of the open as possible so that you have no trouble rotating your equipment stack after sliding the stack out. Note that you can adjust whether to rotate the unit to the left or right by changing a stop screw at the bottom of the base. I am thinking about removing the screw so that I can rotate left or right to maximize access.
My current stack from bottom up is a 5 channel audio/video amplifier/tuner, TiVo DVR, DirectTV HD decoder, and a 5 port Ethernet switch. I have three more stacks and purchased three more of these products to deal with those.
Note that this product does not come with shelves which would have made it perfect. The manufacturer has products with shelves, but they require a much higher opening than what I have. Still, given that I am stacking just four pieces of equipment per base, this is a minor annoyance, and adjustable shelves would have probably reduced the number of boxes I could stack.
