Capacity is very good. It's made to store 8 long guns and 8 service length handguns. Two additional mesh trays are included for any extra items you wish to store. Depending on what you want to store, your ultimate capacity may differ. Expect some blemishes in the finish on both the wood and metal sections. I've only included images of the blems that you can see after assembly. There are some other dings that aren't visible so I didn't bother including them in the pictures. If you want furniture quality, this isn't the rack for you unless you plan to do some touch up paint work. The rack assembles easily enough. Without too much adjustment in the leveling feet the finished rack was really close to square and level. Be careful as you tighten the fasters on the square tube sections. It's very easy to dimple these areas if you screw things together too tightly. I've included a shot of the fastener I learned this on. The metal base of the rifle stock rest has an ever so slight angle decreasing from front to back. Happy to have any angle, but would have liked a greater slope in the base. You just need to remember to pull the butt stocks forward when placing the long guns in the rack so the barrels rest against the back of the rack. I plan to do some additional modification work on the handgun rests to make them more secure at the bottom of the grips. Probably a custom high density foam that will cradle the bottom of the grip and keep it from spinning in case of someone accidentally bumping into the rack. I may also add rubber tubing to the U-rests where the long gun barrels come in contact with them. The empty rack is light weight and easily positioned where you want it. Level it up with the leveling feet and the added weight of the items being stored on the rack adds to the stability of the rack. I think the rack is worth the selling price for someone looking for a basic storage solution.
