E&T spider rack knock offs - how bad are they?

Hm. They must be REALLY bad...!

stanwall, see link below:

i'm assuming FE was the originator of the design, but that point is secondary to finding these racks in the US, which is what I'd really like to do. shipping one of the E&T racks from China will cost about $200.
FE has a distributer in Denver supposedly, Blunote, but i haven't been there yet.
Also see this interesting link comparing the FE product with the Chinese version:

Thanks.

Thanks.

Just looked up the rack of silence and it looks incredible Btw, more high-end quality than FE's product, at first glance, very nice...
