Max Load 550Lbs Pair of Adjustable Squat Rack 41"-66" Sturdy Steel Barbell Rack Free Bench Press Stands GYM/Home Gym Portable Dumbbell Racks Stands

I’ve been using these for about four months for bench work and squats. They suit my purposes fine and I’m pleased with the value. While they rock a bit when re-racking heavy weight, I have not found it necessary to do any additional stabilization even with 225+ on the bench or squat. That said, you have to control the weight and can’t just throw the bar into the rack like at a gym. I like the versatility of having individual stands you can move freely, and they store nicely in my garage. In terms of construction, they appear to me to be more than sturdy enough for all but the heaviest lifters. Caveat to that is the safety arms are a bit of a joke in the fact that they are about 3 inches long. I have not dropped a heavy load on them and don’t plan to. A note on assembly. Some reviews have said it’s difficult to assemble. It’s not complicated, but some angles are awkward and the fittings are tight. You’ll save yourself a lot of time if you have the right tool(s). The bolts and nuts are large (1/2” if I recall). If you just use wrenches to tighten everything down, it could take you hours. Get yourself an appropriate sized socket or two (a few bucks) and a ratcheting wrench or driver and you will have this done in 30 minutes max.

This is a really nice squat rack for the price. It's built really sturdy and easy to put together. However, you will need a wrench and socket for the locking nuts to tighten them.

Bought this 2 years ago. Paid pandemic prices which was about 3x the price. Oh well. I did get a lot of use out it, so not all bad. Overall, not bad, but they are wobbly. Used some weights and dumbbells to steady it (worked well with the front to back sway). I also had a couple of thread rods attached with washers and nuts (helped a bit with the side to side sway.) Just recently, I added a couple of accessories and it helped a lot. Given the current price, these accessories come close to the cost of the rack. *CAP Barbell 2-Inch Olympic Plate Holders, Attachment for FM-905Q Color Series, Black (FM-PLATE2) - - I wanted a lower level for the barbell to rest on. So now I have 3 levels: incline bench (J Hook), flat/decline (spotter arms), and floor wipers (this plate holder). So, don’t use it to put plates on (I actually have 1” plates). Works great. Holes on the rack were just wee bit small, so I had to take a drill to it. Took less than a minute to make the hole big enough. *SYL Fitness Wall Mounted Weight Plate Holder, Wall Weight Storage Rack - Fits 1" and 2" Weight Plates: I wanted to hang the weights on the rack and these work great. Used the threaded rods to attach these (it came with screws and anchors to put it in the wall). Serves 2 purposes: storing the plates and also makes the racks much sturdier. I have more plates than I use, so there’s always plates on the holder. Only drawback is that clearances a little tight for flat/decline and floor wipers, but works fine. It’s because I’m not using an Olympic bar - should be fine if you are using a 7’ bar. Good setup for a workout where you’re not max’ing out and don't need to sometimes “throw” the weight back on the rack. I wouldn't put more that 200lbs on it and you need to be pretty controlled with your lifting. At $65 with 5% coupon, it’s a 5 star (with the usage caveats). For what I paid for it, 3.5, but I’ll gave it a 4.

It serves the purpose! I bought this bench stand to compliment with my stand alone bench. I needed something to support weight lifting as this seems to be the right fit for it. I didn't want to spend too much money on it. It serves for what I need. Very light, sturdy and affordable. Glad I made the purchase!!!

Thanks to the pandemic, I decided to make my own little at-home gym. I enjoy lifting so when I saw this advertised and for a cheap price, I went for it. Some reviews complained that it's wobbly and not that great, but I was expecting that considering how cheap it was and when I read it can only go up to 500lbs. My boyfriend and I don't lift THAT heavy or bodybuilding style so that wasn't a downfall for us. We mostly just needed something to hold the barbell for us and this does that job. It is a bit annoying when you go to put the barbell back on after lifting because it moves a little by just bumping into it. Not a huge deal, but definitely something to note. Overall, it does what I need it to and for an affordable price until we can invest in a more top-notch product. Highly recommend for beginners to experienced lifters!

For starters, this was difficult to assemble and the instructions weren't very helpful. Each piece took about 30 minutes to assemble, plus the prep and clean up time. You also needed several tools. After the difficult assembly, the holes in the stand didn't match up when standing at the lowest height. You have to raise the bar about half an inch in order for the holes to line up. The safety bars are interesting. First, they are a very long, so when you do the bench press you have to lower them to a point that they are useless as safety devices in order to lift properly. If you don't, the bar will hit them. Next, the pins that they lock in with aren't very good. They don't go all the way through. Actually, they can't. For some reason the other end of the safety device is closed. I don't know why they would design a safety product like that, especially since the pieces that hold the adjustable bar can go through both ends. Furthermore, the screw pin to hold the safety sections is very short and often doesn't screw out correctly. The pin stays stuck and you find yourself struggling to remove it. Once you do remove it, the spring in it usually pops out and you have to put it together again. This happens every time you want to adjust the safety devices, on both sides! FInally, they wobble. It feels like they want to tip over when putting the weights back on the rack. There is a saying that goes, "you get what you pay for." This was the least expensive product I found, and I got exactly what I paid for. If you want to avoid my mistake, look around and be willing to spend a bit more for a better product.

I am very happy with these, but I’m writing to warn buyers that there are a few things that it’s essential to know. First, the good stuff: very sturdy, apparently very stable. It takes a while to assemble, but it’s worth it for the price. Then the warnings. I would recommend them to anyone with these qualifications: (1) The instructions are minimal, a chart of the components and a sketch of the assembly. (2) There are no tools included and no indication of what tools would be needed. You’ll need two wrenches. None of my standard American wrenches fit. I was lucky to have two 17 millimeter bicycle wrenches on hand and they did the trick. Two adjustable wrenches will work, but you may have troubles reaching where you need to reach. (3) The nuts are of a sort you may not be familiar with. When you screw the bolts into them it only travels maybe a third of an inch and then stops. You cannot screw it in further by hand. If you are worried about stripping the threads you may be reluctant to go on. The trick is to force it with a wrench. Make sure the black end of the nut is away from the head of the bolt, and apply pressure to the wrench to continue screwing the bolt through. I don’t know what these nuts are called, but they’re a kind of lock nut, and they’re a Good Thing. (4) The instructions have nothing to say about how the components work together. For the most part it seems obvious, but . . . . I’m sure this problem is only with my shipment, but one of the two adjusting popper pins does not work well. I’m not sure whether the problem is the or the component it fits into.
