This is a high quality rack which would meet the needs of all but the most serious of lifters. It took me about 2 hours working alone to put it together. The instructions have a few typos but they're not serious. If you take your time and study the diagrams you shouldn't have any problems. The rack itself feels very solid and has some nice touches. The weight support bars are all solid steel, not hollow. It comes with 4 storage pegs to hang your plates on. About the only complaint I have is that the sleeve which holds the weights for the lat pull is a very tight fit on the guide pole and adds some resistance on the concentric portion and hence subtracts some resistance on the eccentric (lowering) movement. I'm guessing over time this will decrease. The Valor website has some detailed drawings with just about every dimension you'd need to know before purchasing - especially important if you're limited on space. Note that you will need a 7 foot bar with this rack. Overstock had the best price and it was delivered in 4 days by UPS ground from the time I placed the order. Outstanding.

I would recommend this power rack to anyone beginning to lift at home. It is stable and allows enough room inside to make exercises inside the cage comfortable. Lifting alone is also possible due to the spotter. The assembly of the machine took a few hours , but was not difficult. The necessary tools were sent with the machine.Very good machine for the price.
