When you compare it to racks like the four runner, arb,Sherpa and gams…it’s one of the lessor priced options and it does look nice. My concern is preventing leaks. You can use a marine grade sealant but it’s really messy to work with but it will never leak. I can’t recall the name of it but it was used on my previous rack. Worked great in Tennessee downpours.It's fine for that, but I had a considerable amount of flex on mine with Pelican 1650's loaded down. It's certainly one of the more aesthetically pleasing racks out there but their fit and finish leaves a lot to be desired IMHO.
