18 months later, still a great rack for the price.
By Aaron Quinley on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2023
I purchased this power rack in April, 2022, for a sale price. It’s held up great so far and I couldn’t beat it for a budget-priced rack.Assembly was pretty easy and the parts, even and especially the bolts, were easily identifiable and packaged well with regard to their proper organization and placement in sequence.Some reviewers suggested this rack sways or isn’t super sturdy. It feels pretty solid when I do pull-ups and dips, though it’s certainly not with some slight movement. This isn’t a rack meant for serious powerlifting anyway. As a side note, I weigh 165 to 170 lbs, typically, and I don’t lift very heavy.The paint has held up well, both the black and the orange colors. No significant deterioration but things will scratch a bit over time and metal rubbing against metal.Plenty of holes for adjusting safety bars and j-hooks—more height options than some at my gym.I purchased the dip bars and an extra set of j-hooks from the the company. Definitely worth it for me. The photo I shared shows some straps hanging from the pull-up bar—I bought those from another company—and I use them for hanging knee raises for my abs. The bench was also from a different company.One thing I wish was different is where the pull-up bar has a declining angle/taper toward its ends. I’m kind of tall (about 6’2”) and have long-ish arms, so I’d like my hands to fit at a certain width but the bar isn’t horizontally straight all the way across (it’s declining) at that distance. It’s not a huge deal but I do a slightly narrower grip pull-up as a result. Plus-side, however, is it has additional intersecting bars to do neutral grip pull-ups, which is great.Another thing that could have been improved is a second set of weight holders on the sides. There are only 2, so it can’t hold a lot of weights on the 2 pegs due to their size and Sunny didn’t sell additional ones as an add on when I last looked.The package is very heavy and large, so be forewarned if it gets dropped off far away from your front door. Plan for help bringing it inside, if you can.Highly recommended for a recreational home gym.I hope this review was helpful. Happy and safe lifting, folks!

I'd pick up another version
By Mikhail Kartashov on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2023
First off - it has impressed me with sturdiness for the money. Second - there were damaged parts and Amazon gave a choice to pack it up or get a discount. No way I'll pack it up back into all the packing materials. Thank you. Third - it is a bit smaller than a commercial one, so no inside military presses, nor supersetting with two barbells (squat+press). Fourth - attaching more disk holders would interfere with training. So, in the end, I'd probably gone with an open squat rack, which would not require awkward bar relocation and extra bar holders and has more disk holders. P.s. I got dip attachment and it works fine.
