Looking at getting an AP economy rack. Anybody use these. Pros/Cons

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Allison

AP racks are solid racks, but you will need to drill your own air holes, since the shelves are not ventilated. I have several, and on the whole am happy with them. The one problem I have had is with the "sweater box" size rack-I had a couple of escapes due to the shelf spacing being slightly off. I fixws it with shims on the affected shelves.

Frankly I prefer Vision racks-less expensive, come with wheels, shelves are pre-ventilated, and they are much easier to assemble and move.

Have you contacted AP to see if they would remedy the situation?

No need-fixed it myself!

I know AP is a great company overall-I'm otherwise happy with their racks.

Animal Plastics racks are awesome, they are well built. AP has the best customer service!! You can buy from them with confidence.

Great products and great people.

We tried several brands of racks out there and now buy from AP with confidence. I've never purchased their economy racks but I'd feel comfortable trying them because they have the AP name on them.
