   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.

   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.

   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!
