Good product but a bit expensive
Having gotten my hands on the product, I feel it's a little bit more expensive than might be justified, but it is constructed out of heavy-duty metal and mounts very securely. I've been able to carry a 40 lb. load on the back of it with no issues at all, and it does not have any interference issues on my bike.

Just as described, works great
I don't know what everyone is complaining about. I was looking through tons of bike racks, too, and didn't have any trouble determining what this was. The only problem I found is that all the screws are the same size (short) so you need one long screw in order to attach to the bike frame itself. Very sturdy, well made. I found mine for $1.99 from Niagara Cycle Works, here on Amazon, but I can't find that listing any longer.
Also, this hardware does come included with the Wald #215 Bicycle Rack (though you're not given that info in the rack's listing). I bought this separately because I couldn't determine whether or not it was included with the rack. Good thing I did, because the bike I bought for my wife (Schwinn Ranger 24") was not compatible with the included hardware insofar as the attachment point on the bike frame was further away from the rack than it was supposed to have been. Since I had the extra hardware, thought, I simply bolted to two together to extend their reach and VOILA, perfect connection and even looks good.
Don't listen to the nay-sayers in these reviews. Their complaints aren't really even about this product for the most part.

Bolts are to short!
The bolts that came in the pack are to short to install on a common Schwinn mountain bike. They need to be about 1/4 inch longer to be useful. They must have been designed for a bike with a really thin frame. They also don't include a bolt to mount to the brake support. A new set of nuts and bolts aren't expensive to purchase, its just annoying that I have to make an extra trip to the hardware store to get what should have come standard in the pack. The only piece that is of any use is the bracket that attaches the bike rack to the brake post...which should come standard.

Not perfect.
Very study bracket but doesn't contain every thing I need to install a rear bike rack. I still had to visit the nearest hardware store for additional nuts and bolts to complete the install.
