PowerLine PPR200X Power Rack w/ Lat Attachment
By D. Pham
Pros:- Inexpensive- Comes with Pull-Up bar- Comes with a small paint kit to fix blemishes (about half ounce)- Lat Attachment comes with a long Lat Pull-down bar and short Row barCons:- Not very sturdy- Badges and stickers were already peeling off when I opened the boxes- Entire assembly comes in 5 boxes- Lat Attachment should be a cylinder beam instead of a square beam (causes unnecessary friction)- Lat Attachment loading bar is STANDARD 1"- Lat Pull-down and Row bar do no have a separate rotating collar (they usually move to protect your wrist)Thoughts:Bought from Fitness Factory. The entire assembly comes in 5 boxes. The boxes came in relatively good condition. This is the same product that Amazon ships.If you're reading this, you are probably set in getting a home gym and I probably can't deter you. If not, keep in mind most people don't use a home gym enough to justify the space and cost. There is minimal maintenance but maintenance nonetheless. Squat racks are great but you also need an adjusting bench to maximize its utility. Another associated cost with these racks is buying a weight tree, as most do no come with a weight storage system.The PPR200X is basically a cheaply manufacturer, mass produced home gym. Don't expect much. I regularly squat 300 with this rack (it's all the Olympic weights I own) and I don't think this rack will stand the test of time. I give it another 2 years... The lift offs and safety rods are quality, however, the eyelets are not. I see a lot of play when racking barbells and I rack very lightly. The lift offs should use 2 eyelets instead of 1 and it should be inclined, say 15 degrees or so. As it is currently designed, it is flat; under load, it is -5 degrees. I contacted the manufacturer's customer service line to buy an extra pair of lift offs and I never got a reply, email or phone; it has been a month. The rack wouldn't be so bad if the rear eyelets could somehow be reinforced. The pull up bar is a support strut. It's thin so you'll need some athletic tape.The Lat Attachment has too much friction due to the design. It should be cylindrical instead of square. There are no bearing, it is a friction system. It also is positioned too close to the rack (6" from the base) despite it poking out of the rear 19" from the base. Not a big deal when doing squats, but when using it to bench press or incline, this will be a problem. Read the description carefully, the loading bar is STANDARD 1" diameter and only 12" long. The rack, however, is fitted for Olympic barbells. The loading bar on the Lat Attachment can be fitted for Olympic plates if you go to your local hardware store and get PVC pipes and retrofit them.This is a cheap beginner set. Don't get the lat attachment (It is also sold separately). I truly doubt the manufacturer will honor any warranty. Save up for better designed squat racks ($800+) or just get a gym membership.Bottom line:Not Recommended.

Good rack
By Sam Colt
Not the best but gets the job done. I moved out to the country so getting to a gym is difficult. Been using this rack three times a week for a year or so now and it has seen 400+ pound squats and 300+ bench presses and it hasn't flinched. At fist I felt it was too flimsy for big lifts as some of the others mentioned but the lift offs have held up just fine to me dropping the bar on them. I actually prefer the straight lift offs to angled as you can slide the bar off easier while locked into your form when benching. The unit does flex a bit but it's proved to be strong. It is a bear to put together but I did do it myself. The plate carrier on the lat attachment isn't Olympic so olympic plates tend to rattle around on it but haven't had any problem with them walking off. There is some friction issues on the lat pull down as well but a little lubricant solves that easily. Mine is on mats and I do think it helps keep it more stable.Overall for the money it has treated me well. Only recommendation is a good quality adjustable bench to go with it.

*Five Stars with an Asterisk
By LoveVeggies
I've given this cage five stars (with an asterisk) for a few reasons:1) Assembly was reasonably simple: a wrench and a ratchet is all one needs; I built this myself with no help, although having two people would make it marginally simpler to construct.2) Assembled correctly, the cage is sturdy. I worried, at first and after reading a review to the contrary, that the pull-up bar wouldn't work well for me. I'm 6'2" and 200 lbs, and thought the cage might rock or not feel sturdy when hanging from the bar and pulling-up. I was wrong. I've done pull-ups, including close-hand, bicep pull-ups, wide-grip, behind-the-back pull-ups and standard pull-ups. There has been no sign of "rocking" or a lack of sturdiness with the cage. Full disclosure: my workout room has 1/2 inch thick padded flooring throughout, and the cage comes with "levels" for the framing that touches the floor. With the proper leveling, and the help of the padded flooring, my hunch is that these two things help create a sturdier setup.3) The cage is versatile. I've added the lat-pull addition and it adds to the versatility of the cage, and, I suppose, to its overall sturdiness.4) Delivery was good. The boxes arrived through a private contracter whose customer service called me the day before to schedule a delivery window (vs. UPS/Fedex simply showing up, hoping that you are home and wanting your signature before leaving the items).5) The cage's size works well in most rooms. My workout room is approximately 190 square feet. I have a treadmill, a stationary bike (larger than average bike - see the tour de France stationary bike), Bowflex 552 Selecttech dumbbells and a weight tree. The cage, complete with a multi-functional bench, fits quite well in the room. It stands about seven feet tall (my best guess) and has plenty of clearance to my ceiling6) It works for both me any my wife. I've mentioned my size and have been an athlete and weightlifter for the better part of 25 years; my wife is 5' 4" and barely crests 100 lbs, but uses the cage as much, if not more, than I do. She loves how the bench fits into it and especially loves the lat-pull addition. Further, the cage has safety bars, which makes her (and me) feel more comfortable under weight.7) We've cancelled our gym memberships and will save between the two of us approximately $1200/year. The cage pays for itself (and the additional pieces I've added - e.g. lat-pull, bench, weight tree, weights).Now for the asterisk:1) I wouldn't recommend this cage for heavy lifters. I don't know precisely what it's capable of holding with regard to weight (with squats for example), but if you are pushing on the bench press or squats anything that is approaching 300 lbs or more, don't buy this cage. For those of us that have lifted heavy, we know that when "racking" the weight after that last, difficult rep we don't set it down gently. The weight gets racked as if you are nearly "dropping" it; in particular, when squatting heavy and pushing up that final rep, the weight gets "thrown" forward and onto the rack. Do not do this with this cage; this cage is not for you. If you want a cage for the home AND intend to lift heavy, spend more money on one that is designed for thos specific types of heavy lifts.
