Summary: Great rack for the money
Comment: I'm so please with this rack. I lift alone (my girlfriend won't get up at 6 a.m. to spot me!) so the security of a rack is great. I feel the quality for the money is spot-on. They powder coat could be thicker but I'm not in a show room so why do I care? Also, it's not like I'm careless and banging weights around everywhere.
Assembly was simple and I did it alone.
I purchased the lat tower option and must say I'm pleased with it as well. My instructions only had an exploded view (I don't know if they come with the step by step instructions) but I still figured it out in about an hour total. The pulley system is simple and not convoluted. One of the pulleys was crushed in shipping but I called on Monday and had it replaced for free in three days. Great support!
I paid $349.99 for each shipped to my house in bfe so it was a super deal. The next day the price was at $499. I still think it's worth the money for the rack.

Summary: Excellent value - Very pleased with rack
Comment: I purchased this rack and am VERY PLEASED with it. It was very straight forward to assemble - I did it solo. Seems very solid.
I really like the dip bars. They are well thought out and taper inward, so you can find the width that works best for you. Very stable also.
The chin bar is also good. If you are heavy or add weight on the chins, you may want to have the bar with a little weight on it to avoid any slight forward motion of the rack. Has not been a problem for me yet - but only doing body weight chins so far.
The frame and spotting pins are very solid.
Another benefit was the height of this unit. It is a little more compact - and shorter - than many units. That helped it fit better in my small (townhouse) garage.
Very pleased with this purchase.

Summary: Best Lifting Deal Ever.
Comment: Purchased for $349 with free super saver shipping. This is an awesome piece of equipment with incredible quality, even at twice the price. Dip and pull-up bars included which saves space and money. If you add the high low pully, matching utility bench, barbell & weight, and a set of dumbells you suddenly have a very respectable hard-core gym. The grey baked on paint is prone to scraping when moving the spotting arms, but the scratches are silver, so hardly noticable. Still, this is the best power rack for the money-a steal at $349 shipped!

Summary: Good Value
Comment: I work out at home in my basement. I don't have a spotter. Unfortunately, a couple of months ago, I suffered an injury when my bench decided to drop into decline mode while performing tricep presses. Then a couple of weeks ago while doing bench press, I had a scare when I couldn't get weights off my chest. So, finally I did the research and decided on this rack. I am really happy with my decision. This is a very solid and nice looking rack. I can finally do exercises to failure and do squats that I have been neglecting to do. If you are thinking about getting a rack, you better decide quickly, prices for steel are going up and as a result equipment like this is going up in price. I paid less than what this is currently selling for.

Summary: good power rack
Comment: Overall a good product. Construction is plenty solid. I would prefer a taller rack, but this one works great with 8ft ceilings. Nice to have included tricep dip bars, but I don't care for the way they flair wide. A narrower grip would be more comfortable. Chrome plating on the hooks and spot bars should provide good wear resistance. I searched hard and found this to be the best value for the money, and I am very satisfied with the purchase.

Not much to say here. This unit is solid and built to take a beating. This is the ultimate free weight training system.
The cage provides a safe method of performing all of the barbell power exercises such as squats, rows, dead lifts and all pressing movements with the security of the adjustable spotter bars.
The base Power rack can be purchased alone and includes both the chin up bar and also the dip bars at no additional cost. For a complete gym you can add the lat tower option that provides a high low pulley system for numerous cable exercises.
Utility Bench not included.
