Very good compact rack
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).
