Summary: Avoid
Comment: This purchase is my first disappointment dealing with an Amazon vendor. Do not waste your money on this item. Why? Because:
a. This item has small pieces that are easy to lose
b. Assembly required
c. Assembly instructions are sparse and written by someone for whom English is a third language
Items which require assembly really should have instructions written by someone who understands English if sold in an English-speaking country.

Summary: Good Looking Rack, May Not Fit Your Bike
Comment: The rack looks good and is sturdy, however, although Amazon says "This rack fits almost any bike and is one of the best racks out there for the price, 815g with hardware" -- this is not true.
We tried to put it on a Schwin bike -- hardly an unknown brand -- and the rack does not come with the required parts.
In order to fit your back with this rack, you must have 2 predrilled and threaded holes at the top of the rear fork, OR you must drive somewhere and find an adapter bracket, which they do not provide.
So Amazon's writeup on this rack is very misleading, and its too bad the manufacturer didn't think to provide the adapter brackets so that it really does fit commonly made bikes.

Summary: Strong Rack, Pain To Attach
Comment: This rack is sturdy and fits my hybrid bike. It is strong, will support quite a bit of weight, but it on was a real pain to put together. The fitting adjusters come apart easily and are tricky to reassemble. Also, the plastic cap ends on the rods come off easily and can cause the adjusters to slid off the rods. M. Nyland's advice was helpful, but a good set of instruction are needed, better yet a different adjuster. It might be a good idea to have someone help you attach the rack. If I ever take it off I'd consider putting it on Craigslist and buying something easier to work with.

Summary: Secure and Quiet
Comment: As everyone else has mentioned, the installation instructions that come with this rack are completely useless, however I figured it out on my own with relative ease and it only took maybe 10 minutes to install the rack.
Once installed it feels very sturdy and makes no additional noise which surprised me. I expected at least a little rattling, but it is virtually silent even when riding over bumpy roads (My house is on a cobblestone road)
Great rack, and highly recommended.

Summary: May not be compatible with hybrids
Comment: I bought this for my Fuji Crosstown 2.0 hybrid to commute to school.
The seat stay brackets (arms that attach to the bike near the seat)are too short which causes the rack to tilt forward on my bike. Unless you have the resources to fabricate your own brackets I recommend looking elsewhere if you want this rack for a hybrid bike. Overall, the rack is very nice and installing it is very doable if you just fiddle around with it a bit.
