Do you need the Original RACKIT™ System, the larger RACKIT™ System 19, or a combination of the two?

The Original Rackit System and RACKIT System 19 are completely compatible in style -- made of the same fine materials with the same meticulous attention to detail. Crafted of solid American red oak and Finnish birch plywood, the units are lightweight, yet sturdy. They provide a handsome natural accent to any home, studio or office.
 
 

The Original RACKIT™ System Best choice for your vinyl (LPs, 78s) and laserdiscs. Record Cabinets are also great for large books, up to 13 inches tall. Smaller "footprint" for where space is at a premium. Original component racks hold equipment up to 16.5 inches wide (for larger equipment, use System 19). Holds up to a 20" TV on standard tabletop.

The RACKIT™ System 19 Best choice for your CDs, DVDs, all tape cassette formats and equipment. Component racks with shelves or mounting rails hold standard 19 inch gear. Drawers feature full extension ball bearing drawer slides and pull to a stop. Holds up to a 27 inch TV onstandard tabletop. Great for use in your home office. Create your own desk, computer stand and more!

Both Systems

Modular, stackable units combine to hold any size collection, and are easy to rearrange and move. Made of the same high quality materials for matching looks (Many customers use both systems together). The tabletop provides a sturdy platform for substantial loads and is always recommended.

The Dolly is a Base with 4 twin-wheel casters. Birch drawer front is a light color wood with a subtle grain (same as cabinet case material). Oak drawer front is a darker wood with more pronounced grain (same as frames on all units).

RackiTables

At our office, we have been using RACKIT ™ furniture to create desks, work tables, and computer stands for several years. Now we'd like to share our experience and suggestions with you. RACKIT™ System Tables, Desks, and Counters. Your RACKIT units make a perfect support for desks, tables, and counters. Take one or more stacks of RACKIT units, add a nice wood or glass tabletop, and presto! -- you have a useful new piece of furniture. You can create a variety of practical, functional, good looking tables, counters, and stands for all sorts of uses -- desk, computer work station, office equipment stand, even a work/dining table. And you'll appreciate the useful, versatile storage space provided by the shelves and drawers of the RACKIT units themselves. Decide your ideal table height, then choose a combination of RACKIT units to approximate your goal, allowing for the thickness of the tabletop. Start with a Base to bring the next unit off the floor and provide a toe-kick. Or, for single-stack desk/table supports, start with a Dolly to provide mobility. For the top of your stack, choose a drawer unit, a Component Rack, a Cabinet, or an inverted Base. If you plan to use a clear glass table top, consider the visual effect of this top unit. A Component Rack works well with a fax or printer, or even a small sculpture. A Cabinet or a drawer unit leaves just enough clearance for a poster, photograph, textile, or other flat art; adding a Base provides an inch and a half to display your favorite knick-knacks (perhaps on black felt or velvet). Create a Table, Desk, or Counter to Suit Your Needs. The RACKIT System provides a versatile base for tables and counter tops of many sizes. One stack with a top up to 36î x 30î or 36î diameter round, will serve well as a computer table, TV stand, phone/fax/printer/ anything stand. Two or more stacks will hold desk-size table tops, and larger. Use your imagination to create a multimedia work station, a home office, or just a small side table. Material Choices: Maple wood block counter tops make an exellent choice. They are available from your local lumber yard or home improvement store. Typically they are 1 1/2" thick by 25" wide, and come in lengths up to 8 feet, at a cost of about $20 per square foot unfinished. Other wood species may also be available. Or, if you are handy, you can make your own tabletop from 3/4" plywood or prefinished particle board, with an appropriate edge treatment. Glass tabletops are available from your local glass store in a number of standard sizes -- round, square, or rectangular -- or can be custom made to your specifications. They come in several thicknesses; we recommend 3/8" or 1/2" for most sizes. The cost is reasonable -- as low as $12 per square foot for standard sizes, $25 and up for custom. Marble or granite -- real or man-made look-alikes -- also make great tabletops. These materials generally cost more than wood or glass. Check with your local supplier for availability.
