Assembly took me about an hour. Its easy but takes a little bit of time to do it right. Overall, pretty great rack for the price.Pros- i lift by myself and am very confident that the rack will hold up just fine.I use it daily and its had little to no wear and tear.I like the pull up bar add on at the topCons- As stated in the description, you dont want to rack over 300 lbs. If your trying to do big weights, get a bigger rack. But if you stay under 300, this rack is plenty good for you.The two spots to hold additional plates are almost pointless and dont work that well. I dont use them.The rubber that sits under the area you rack your barbell on came off in a week. Doesnt affect much other than its noiser now when i rack the barbell during bench and squats.It sways a little left to right, but is very sturdy back and forth.Overall, im very happy with this rack. I use it daily. I got rid of my gym memberships and am glad I invested a lot of money into a home gym. Worth every penny.

Finally got around to putting this together in my garage after buying it this winter.Assembly: fairly easy to put together by yourself. Would be way easier with another person though when it comes to the pull-up bar. Take note of the orientation of the inner bars that have the plate holders on them, though. Had to do that twice! The rubber pieces on the catch bars though, didn't stick appropriately and one came off and I found it stuck to my shoe. I just peeled them off the rack itself. All bolts and nuts were on vacuum packed plastic attached to cardboard.Sturdy: Haven't yet done any sets with it. But after doing a couple pull ups, it feels balanced correctly. I do have the rack sitting on some foam workout mats, though which I'm sure helps. I would like it to be slightly wider by maybe 6 inches, I'm not sure how comfortable bench pressing will be. That being said, I mainly bought this for safe squats, barbell rows & rack pulls.The rack states it is good up to 300lbs; based on how well its bolted together & that its steel, I wouldn't worry about going up to 400lbs. The catch bars themselves are directly in the middle of the rack and are pretty robust, all steel.I'd say this particular rack is much more well made than the comparable hundreds of racks made by off brands that you've never heard of that are all over amazon. If you're setting up a garage gym and want a good place to do your squats, and you're not pushing four or five plates, this is exactly what you want.

although its a good deal, keep in mind its not for someone who trains like a beast. If you slam 200lbs + on this, it will eventually give in. You must as gently as possible lay the weights down. It seems very sturdy for anything under 200lbs. Although it holds 300lbs, i do recommend you be careful.I use it to bench 205 lbs, and after 5 times using it, i am still not 100% comfortable. Although there are not any signs of the rack giving in. I just prefer to be cautious.I also do shoulder-shrugs with about 250lbs. Seems fine. Just dont slam the weight down.Its very sturdy for pullups. I weigh 190lbs and add a 45 lb plate to my belt. So thats 235lbs total and it works like a charm. It doesnt wiggle much.Keep in mind I use this in my garage. Smooth concrete floor. I do have it pushed up against a concrete step. This is enough to keep it from moving. I do not add any additional weights to keep it down.

Nice half rack Olympic weight cage. Looks nice and well built. Setting up was easy and took about 45 mins with just a ratchet wrench. Perfect size for people who don’t have a lot of space. Feels solid, but there is some movement side to side (less than an inch). I would not put more than 300 lbs on it to be on the safe side. Packaging came in one big box. No visible damage on the outside or inside.

(Note: I dont know this seller and dont have a relationship to the manufacturer. I am saying this because its a highly positive review) My son asked me to buy him a pullup bar. I refuse to get the ones that go on the door as I am a physician and have seen one too many collapse and even seen 18 year old boys with neck fractures as a result. So I did some research and got this product. It takes a small amount of space so you will need that. But if you are like my son, he has a bench and dumbells as well, so this fit nicely within. This product is easy to assemble. It is sturdy. I have a nice home including my basement area and refuse to include any products that look "cheap". This product looked great as well. The only negative here is that now that I have it, he asked me to buy free weights and a bar (which costs more $)....and now is asking me for a pulley station. But if just want what seems to be a safe, good looking pullup bar....with other functionality to put a bench and store a weight bar/weights, this is a fantastic option.

I was mainly looking for something sturdy enough to do pull ups, this definitely fills that check.I like that I can use my bar, I can add about 200 lbs to it and it seems to hold them well.I like that I can do a bunch of other exercises with resistance bands.Great addition to any home gym for people that want to keep a being in shape.Easy to assemble, I was able to put it together by myself, but having an extra hand would probably be safer.I am very happy with this purchase, great price.*I wish there were some attachment for it like dip attachment or a bar holder for storage of a bar/bars on the sides. It has the space for it for sure.

Took 4 shipments and 5 weeks to get all the parts. First shipment from AMZN was a cobbled together box with only the large components. (No fasteners, mount parts, instructions, etc.) Obviously a return. MFR customer service was mostly helpful with getting me all the necessary pieces, but it took some time. Rubber pads are already falling off after only 2 months.

Package came destroyed, about an entire foot of the end of the box had been taped back on when I got it. Inside there was various tearing of the plastic packaging, presumably from things being shifted around and slid back into the box, I noticed a couple chips in the paint. On the box I noticed it says "team lift" but there was no team to lift it other than the delivery driver and myself. So at some point one guy tried loading it into the delivery van and wrecked it pretty bad, either in transit or at the depot. It only felt like forty pounds when I lifted it, but the box is approximately seven feet long which makes it an awkward life for a small guy. The instruction manual for setting it up is like a picture book, so you have to figure out the orientation of each post and brace, and there are metal shims for saving the posts from being crushed by the bolts. Once it's set up it seems pretty sturdy and certainly worth the money spent, unfortunately the delivery for such an item is terrible. If you can pick it up from a store near you that would be much preferred, as you wont have so much damage to an otherwise marvelous asset.

Facile à monter, solide et la peinture de bonne qualité. Un point négatif est les supports supérieurs qui ont tendance à tourner lorsqu’on dépose la barre des poids. Une modification a été nécessaire pour barrer les deux braquettes en place. Les caoutchoucs aussi sur les braquettes ne tiennent pas.
