It's decent quality. Simon in the powerfuluk video actually laid in it so it can take a good amount of weight.
It makes the boot a lot more useful, plus if you have wet things like ski boots/helmets etc. you can store your dry stuff on the rack. I don't use wolf boxes so can't comment there. 22MY Defender 110 D300 S in Pangea Green and Contrast White Roof IG defender_japan "Hulk san" |

No experience with it, but I like the concept - the cargo area footprint is ok, but the vertical space is where these vehicles really come into their own. Having a shelving solution to make more use of that vertical space is a great idea in general.
A couple of points I've been considering: 1. Does it fit your primary use for the cargo area? Or does the reduced flexibility make it a little less useful? - Would doggo be happy underneath it - Do you carry taller stuff, regularly (my mrs loves a bargain ebay furniture purchase..) - Do you have/use the 3rd row much If it was clip in, rather than bolt in, this reduced flexibility might not be so much of a problem. But I guess there's safety concerns there. 2. Security - Living in a city, I like being able to hide away kit under the non-descript "cat hammock". This shelf essentially presents your expensive looking wolf-boxes at eye level. (Little does the thief know mine would probably only contain a pair of dirty wellies, some bunjee cords and a dog bowl!) I think this is the real deal breaker for me. |

all good points and some I had not considered
I think the PowerfulUK version comes with Thumb Screws so does make it easier to remove if SWMBO decides to buy something big at a moments notice so is sort-of workable for me. and I dont have 7 seats the dogs are the biggest concern and for short journeys they maybe OK and lying down below it. I just wish I could fit a door to the bottom to keep them in when the door is open. but this just adds to the complexity 
for me, i think I really need the one that was produced for the D4 - a roof basket to keep all the stuff like pac-a-macs, gloves , dogs leads etc from messing the floor space up. I think I need to live with mine a few weeks luckily for me, security isnt an issue -SWMBO is always leaving her car open over night. and has been known to even leave the door wide open. she doent have access to my Defenders for obvious reasons  Defender D250 HSE
