I only load large, lighter things on it, and I used some additional anchors so I could further support the rack with some ratchet straps, just in case something fails, to help prevent it from falling on my car.

So far, I really like it. I might get an additional, smaller one to store the Christmas tree at some point.
I may have looked at these, but the 4' by 8' units were too large, which is why i went with the 3' by 6' units. I just missed the mounting requirements, since it was not included in the ads.
