The Salamander design stuff is solid, but like anything else, scratches easily.
However, their approach to modular building is second to none. I've read a lot about the Adona stuff, but chose Salamander in the end for overall looks and ease of fitting all gear into one unit.

I enjoy the flexibility and versatility of Salamander. You can build on what you already have as your system expands. That in my opinion is a big plus factor.
+1! |

I have two Adona Racks. They are significant and sturdy. I also have four Adona Amp stands. The racks can be a little difficult to assemble. The company does provide good tech and customer support.

I'll vouch for Salamander. They are expensive but they're well built and look nice. Scratch easy but just get a magic marker and bingo fixed.

I really like the looks of both the Critical Mass and HRS's MXR series and from what I have heard they do what they are supposed to, but laying out $35k-$45k for racks when that money could be used to get upgrade speakers or amps gives me pause. Jim |

Well I've had lots of different expensive racks over the years and I never heard any improvement in sound from one rack to another. I really liked Billy Bags, but when we built our new house my wife wanted something that looked more like furniture and Salamander fits the bill.
