I have a limited workout space and use a smaller, non-Olympic bar. Since I can place these where I need them, I can use them with my bench as as well as for squats. They are well made and easy to assemble. All the parts and tools are included although a ratchet wrench made things much faster. I would highly recommend these to anyone but especially to those with limited space

Good value stands for bench pressing. I have two sets of stands one fixed width, which i use for squating and these stands which i use for benching. If i go above 200lb i place a 50lb dumbbell over the legs to give extra stability. It`s not a problem as they are very stable but just to make sure they do not topple over i place a dumbell on each on the base legs. Very versatile product at a good price.

I like this alot! I Turned my garage into a work studio and this portable squat stand is great to push aside when I need to get to work. If you are concerned with space, this is one to get. When you have a bench with attached stands, you really can't move it anywhere and it always takes space. I like to work out and put it asside when im done. I use the portable work bench for people to sit on. I like it alot but I think it is a bit pricey. With shipping, tax and all that jazz, it was about $200.00. I paid for it because I cancelled my gym and wanted to get back to working out and it works for me.

Squat stands should be stable and allow the user the ability to rack relatively heavy weight (under 300#s) that they could not lift over their heads to perform the squats.

The stands are very basic and at lower weights it worked fine. It is not however for anyone using weights in the higher ranges. I had 110 pounds on it for a warm up set and the stands had way too much sway back and forth. I wasn't impressed that they moved like that on a warm up set. Once I put on 160, I found myself trying to rack the bar gently to avoid it tipping.

In my opinion these stands are just not stable enough for serious lifting. I have since moved on to a power rack that is much more useful for me.

I need to point out that the stands are functional and good for beginners (in my opinion). However I would suggest looking at squat stands that have a connection bar at the bottom to stabilize them.

Simple squat stands. Easy to assemble. Very adjustable and easy to adjust. I use this for strength training to supplement my Crossfit workouts at home.

I've owned these for a couple of years and they've done just what I needed. They are easy to assemble, adjust and once you have them where you want them they are stable. You can stack them up and move them easily when you need them out of the way. I use them for squats and military presses, I'm not sure what they're like with 300lbs on them but around 200 I've never had any problems.

Bad:

The hooks where you place the bar are too small

Its unstable

I have to use 100.lb weights in order for it to not tip over

Hard to adjust

when I opened the package the black metal was scratched up in a lot of places

Good:

Compact

Light weight

Nice Color
