4.0 out of 5 stars Strong enough so far, July 3, 2007

I have very limited space so a "cage"-type squat rack just wouldn't do for me. Also, I do reps with a little under 400 pounds so it couldn't be a rinky-dink thin-walled round-tube pair of uprights like you see bolted onto cheap weight benches. This rack is a decent compromise for those of us with a little space and the desire to squat fairly heavy in that space. Any heavier and I'd be wise to go to the gym and have spotters on hand anyway. In my opinion, this was a solid purchase I'd recommend.

Sturdy as can be. However I'd recommend putting the back end of the feet against a wall or something or it can shift around a bit when you're putting the bar back on the rack after a heavy bench. Or at least have it on a rubber mat. It would be good to have a spotter with you so it doesn't tilt back if you slam your weight back on the rack so it doesn't tip over. If you're careful that's not an issue, or if you wanted to somehow bolt it into your floor. :)

Also the height-adjust holes are spaced a little far apart so it's not that precise as to how you might like your benching, about 3 inches apart. I haven't tried it for squats yet. You'd definitely need a spotter for squats because obviously there's nothing to catch the weight for you if you can't stand back up with a heavy weight. It took me 15 minutes to put the thing together myself using 2 wrenches.

For the price though it's definitely solid. You can get a Gold's Gym olympic 45# bar at Walmart for $45, same bar they use at normal gyms, and olympic plates are there too for about $0.80/pound or find them at Sports authority or something if they go on sale.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great value, sturdy squat rack for your home gym, January 2, 2010

I bought this item for my garage Crossfit gym. Its a good value for the price. It was easy to assemble. The photo does not show the rack at full extension, but it does extend higher for back squats, front squats, and shoulder presses. I also bought a flat bench to go along with this item for bench pressing. Just be sure to brace the squat rack against a wall or something sturdy to prevent it from sliding back when racking the weight on the bench press. (And have a spotter!)

The only modification I made to this rack was to pad the hooks to prevent scratching of my olympic bar. The hooks are somewhat small and I would prefer higher backstops on them, but they work fine as is. I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend it for home gym use.

The most weight I've had racked on this product was 250lbs. At that load, there weren't any problems with the rack.
