I was searching for an affordable power rack (full cage) that could handle more than 300 pounds and be relatively low height considering I'm not tall (5'9") and my basement has pretty low ceilings. A lot of the power racks on the market or on amazon in this price range are flimsy and cannot handle much weight. Anybody with any drive can outgrow such a rack in months if not weeks if they plan on squatting or, god forbid, doing rack pulls.
This rack fits the bill. Assembly was easy, even alone, but be sure to have your own set of tools because the wrenches they include are garbage, which is to be expected. Construction is sturdy enough, considering that it needs to be shipped in a relatively small box to keep shipping costs low, so there are a lot of bolts. It's not a full welded rack, like you probably have in a commercial gym, and will not perform like one : it sways a bit on 300 + pounds squats when racking the bar or when adding plates, but anyone who has worked with free standing squat stands knows this isn't a problem, you just have to be careful not to throw the weight around and to check for bolt tighteness every month or so.
The safety bar spacing is adequate. For benching, maybe not so much, since it is 3 inches and not 2 or 1, but for squatting, rows and rack pulls, it is ok.
The pull-up bar is also adequate. There's no knurling and the neutral grip is very close.
Luckily, the price cutting wasn't in the materials or construction, it was in the options : no included j hooks, no band pegs, no side holes for a plate storage attachements, no eyes to bolt to the floor, the safeties are solid, but their design is really ugly. You get what you pay for : very high weight rating, sturdy construction, but positively no frills. For me, it's perfect, but for someone who is used to a well equipped commercial gym with rogue, elitefts or such brand racks, this is a downgrade and it comes as no surprise because of the price tag.
J hooks and a way to bolt the rack to the floor would bump this to 5 stars for sure.
