Strong enough so far
I have very limited space so a "cage"-type squat rack just wouldn't do for me. Also, I do reps with a little under 400 pounds so it couldn't be a rinky-dink thin-walled round-tube pair of uprights like you see bolted onto cheap weight benches. This rack is a decent compromise for those of us with a little space and the desire to squat fairly heavy in that space. Any heavier and I'd be wise to go to the gym and have spotters on hand anyway. In my opinion, this was a solid purchase I'd recommend.

Not bad
Sturdy as can be. However I'd recommend putting the back end of the feet against a wall or something or it can shift around a bit when you're putting the bar back on the rack after a heavy bench. Or at least have it on a rubber mat. It would be good to have a spotter with you so it doesn't tilt back if you slam your weight back on the rack so it doesn't tip over. If you're careful that's not an issue, or if you wanted to somehow bolt it into your floor. :)

Also the height-adjust holes are spaced a little far apart so it's not that precise as to how you might like your benching, about 3 inches apart. I haven't tried it for squats yet. You'd definitely need a spotter for squats because obviously there's nothing to catch the weight for you if you can't stand back up with a heavy weight. It took me 15 minutes to put the thing together myself using 2 wrenches.

For the price though it's definitely solid. You can get a Gold's Gym olympic 45# bar at Walmart for...
Mixed feelings
I was very excited to receive this rack. After reading most reviews it seemed to be a good fit for my new home gym. After setup I was not entirely impressed. Here are the pros and cons:

Pro:
-Very simple setup, four bolts and done. Solid frame, clean look. Was able to easily assemble on my own in under 20 min.
-Comes with a small canister of touch-up paint (which was needed right out of the box from shipping but that's part of the cons)
-Small footprint, easily moved (that's a plus and minus) and can fit in almost any space.
-Spacing between the columns are plenty wide, makes it able to do wide and narrow grips without issue for chest press. That was a big plus for me. I cannot stand racks that have the columns spaced exactly where you naturally want to place your hands on the bar.

Con:
-Not that shipping faults the product, but the box was very beat up and one of the column tops was sticking out of the box when received. Two of...

Does not work on BSG10X Home Gym
I thought that since Amazon links this as an accessory to the BSG10X Home Gym it would come with a 15 hole selctor rod for the additional five weights. It does not. Therefore, you have no way to use those weights. THe BSG10X only supports 160 lb short stack and you can't get a selector rod for 210 lbs. In short don't buy this if you have the aforementioned gym.

good product but....
It would have been nice to know at the time of purchase that the rod is too short to support theincreased depth of the weight stack.
50# Upgrade
Correct weight plates for Powerline P2X, even though not identified on the webpage. Arrived as promised, used to upgrade my P2X with leg press from 160# to 210#.
