Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 5 / 5 from 12 reviews.
Great quality enclosure, affordable, and super easy to assemble. Looking forward to purchasing more.
Rack Theory is now my future go to for all my reptile habitat upgrades. Got a Glow 70-4 for my blue tongue skinks and it was easy assembly yet highly durable and high quality, you can tell each rack is made right before it’s shipped. Definitely would recommend 5 out of 5.
I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I did some research and Rack theory PVC racks became the standard that I compared the other brands to. The price and shipping estimates were the median between all the major competitors. I would highly recommend this rack to anyone.
I've purchased two 70-5 Core series and I absolutely love them. The turn around time is great and the the instructions are easy to follow. Will definitely be buying from them again!
Ordered a 70 Glow Series for my blue tongue skinks and had the most amazing customer service. They were patient with any questions I may have had, communicated quickly about updates on the rack build, and in person, were helpful loading the rack. They were also very helpful when I got confused about installing lights. My skinks loves the rack and I couldn't be happier with the quality of it! I plan to order again if I ever need more racks.
I got a 70 Glow series for my skinks. Set up was super easy. I love that it's the first PVC rack with lights! Such a game changer for the rack industry. It’s hold humidity and temp well which is huge for us. We’ll be definitely upgrading my other reptiles over time!
Zach responded in one day to my email. We went back and forth a few times—always quick responses— until my custom size PVC rack was just how I wanted. Easy to assemble. Sleek and elegant looking. These racks are awesome. Oh and lightweight!! I can finally lift it myself. That was a big selling point for me. Holds heat and humidity like a champ. Highly recommend.
