F2CMax Load 550Lbs Pair of Adjustable 41"-66" Rack Sturdy Steel Squat Barbell 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.

Very happy with the quality of metal and finish. No sharp edges or blemish in paint. Seems quite sturdy. Took roughly 30 minutes from unboxing to finish. Instructions were straight forward. I think I could have built this just fine even if instructions were missing. All braces fit together well, and holes lined up and perfectly.Only tools needed: 17mm socket and wrench.

Great rack for a good price. I have been using it regularly with a 45lb barbell loaded with weights on each side for squat and for bench and these hold up very well. One thing I knock down a star for is that the base support isn't the most stable so you'd need to weigh these down so they don't move around when racking after a set. If just the base of these was heavier it would alleviate that problem, but as they are now just make sure to throw a weight on the feet or a sandbag or something. Either way that shouldn't stop you from buying these as they are a good price and far below the heavy duty gym equipment brands that cost a fortune.

Love these! I wanted a barbell rack without it being huge and stationary and this works great for my space. I I need to move them it isn’t a big hassle at all. Sturdy and do not wobble at all. Assembly took a while but wasn’t difficult. I would buy these again if I needed to. The picture isn’t the greatest since it is a screenshot of a video but that’s what it looks like set up.

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.

The instructions aren't the best. I needed a socket wrench and pliers to tighten each bolt, so if you don't have these on hand get them. Otherwise, the stands will wobble. I think some people assume if the instructions don't mention any tools, you won't need them. Assembly took me about an hour. Unless you're benching really heavy, I think this product will do the job at a great price.
