Summary: Not Bad ...
Comment: The rack itself isn't too bad. It is difficult to do squats in, but you can step out of it. My biggest problem with it is the fact that it is bolted together. No matter how tight you get the bolts, it still has some movement. Overall it's a good starting rack, but my next purchase will be either a power cage or something solid and welded.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very good compact rack
Comment: Been using for a couple of months and am quite happy with the product. Assembly was quick & fast. Noticed there were two stable positions (vertical bars slightly closer at the top or slightly wider at the bottom).
Best features:
* The safety bars (both squats and bench presses) are extremely useful when you don't have a spotter.
* Easily do both squats & bench presses on the same side by adjusting height.
* Compact footprint. You still need an 7 ft Olympic sized bar. A 6 ft bar will do if the separation between the joints is standard (I think it's 52.5" or so).
* Price! Couldn't find too many in this range that offers the safety bars as well.
Cons:
* The horizontal bar at the bottom is mounted a little high, so it can interfere with some benches. I have a folding bench and need to swap the front-back directions to get it to fit. Standard workout benches probably won't have this issue. So buy this first, and then the bench.
* Doesn't tell you how much weight you can safely use. I have a 300lb set, but am not using all of it right now.
Overall, very happy with the product, and would highly recommend to someone who is in need of a compact footprint for doing squats (as well as bench presses).

Summary: Well Built and Well Priced Multi-Press Rack
Comment: Received this about a month ago - had it unpacked and put together in less than 45 minutes. I chose this rack because space is an issue for me and I am not disappointed. It doesn't take up much room next to a wall and doesn't need to be moved in/out between uses.
After using for about a month, I can say I am very happy with the quality of materials and the design. The bar supports and safety catches are easy to change and accommodate almost any exercise.
Highly recommended product. Particularly at about $100, this is a great investment for any home gym.

Summary: Warning: this rack is for OLYMPIC & 7ft standard barbells ONLY!
Comment: I did a LOT of research on squat racks before I decided on this one. The main reason I chose this one is:
a) it looked pretty compact and I have only a small room (most press/squat racks you have to be on one side for bench press, then go around to the other side of the rack to squat...with this one you don't have to do that)
b) the price was very good, and
c) it appeared from the product description that the rack would work with my 5 ft. standard weight set
I rec'd the rack last night. The packaging wasn't too bad, but one of the legs was sticking out of a hole in the corner of the box....it should be packaged better, especially on the corners. Also, there were a couple of places on the rack where the finish was scraped off, wasn't happy about it but I'm not sending this 74 pound package back because of it. Best Fitness should definitely work on their packaging for this product. It's made in China, BTW.
Putting it together was easy...took just 15 minutes with DH helping. The rack seems more than sturdy enough...you need to be facing the rack for squats and you'll need to straddle the crossbar for lunges. Pretty compact for a rack!
The reason I'm only giving the rack 3 stars is because (in my mind at least) the product description is Incorrect when it states that the rack Width is 29.5 inches. It's actually 45 inches (looking at the rack from the front), which means that you need to have an Olympic barbell to use this rack (or a 7 foot standard). I only have a 5 ft standard bar and plates and I can't tell you how disappointed I was when I put the rack together and discovered that it would in NO WAY work with my standard bar setup.
I am going to the local metal shop and having them cut several inches off the middle part of the crossbar and weld it back together, so that I can use the rack w/my set up (which of course will null and void the 3 year warranty darnit)!
So just be aware before buying this product that you need to have an OLYMPIC barbell set up or an 7 ft. standard barbell), as a standard bar setup (5 ft) won't do unless you're willing to hit the local metal shop!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good rack, 1 point to consider
Comment: Good rack, Sturdy one thing to think about before you buy is the hight of the bench you intend to use with it. The bench I had before I bought the rack is fairly low to the ground and the support bar is to low to clear the racks crossbar, its going to require some rigging to get it to work with my current bench, But besides that great.
