Unbelievably Solid
Had my pre-ordering concerns that this rack would need to be bolted down or wobble when I rack the weight or do chin-ups/pull-ups... couldn't have been more wrong.
Firstly, I've decades of experience with aviation and car mechanics, and I've never in my life assembled anything that went together was anywhere near the perfection this rack and all equipment did. It was flawless. Did the normal hand-tighten everything until it's all together then final tighten after checking straight and level... nothing needed adjustment. The uprights were level with zero effort and I was able to assemble the rack in under an hour by myself. You will need either a pair of 15/16" sockets or adjustable wrenches that can go to at least 1".
Chin-ups, squats, bench, whatever... no mounting plates and the rack is solid as a rock sitting on 3/4" stall mats. Cerakote finish (I got clear-satin) is immaculate. I honestly can't believe I paid so little for something so perfectly engineered. Oh, Fat-Skinny bar for the win... the fat bar is about Axle diameter, so installed it at the top and skinny is typical pullup bar.

Simplicity, Versatility, and Quality
When I was looking to build a home gym, I first looked at cages, but realized their tremendous size/bulk. The SML-2C with the spotter arms can do everything a cage can do, only smaller. The open design makes for an easier and safer workout, you just lift the bar onto the j-cups, no need to thread it through the front supports of the cage. With an added T-bar row attachment I can pretty much do all of the required lifts and get a great workout. The only thing, it is slightly taller than a cage, but I didn't have a height restriction. The SML-2C is super easy to assemble and adjust. There are many spacing holes so you can get a custom fit for the J-cups and spotter arms. The build quality is outstanding, the frame is 3x3 steel with a durable finish. I also liked the fact that you can get it in a color, not just black, I purchased it in Rouge Red. Glad I bought it.

Custom Cut
Bought the dark blue stand with custom cut. Very well made. It does take a few weeks for a custom cut and I received it today and assembled it in about 30 mins. Without any weight holding the stand down I was able to do pull ups (I don’t kip), toes to bar and the rack does not shake unless I’m just not feeling any movement or it just doesn’t bother me. Overall a very sturdy product and a great addition to a home gym. Now to get a barbell and bumpers to complete my basement gym.

A rock solid beast of a rack
A perfect fit for our home gym. This rack is good looking and solid. Assembly was easy, the fit perfect, and the functionality is dead on. Exactly as advertised. One word of advice: make sure you have 15/16" sockets, preferably two, to make assembly a breeze. My son and I got the double chin-up bar and the spotter arms, and everything is top quality.

Nice option that doesn’t need to be bolted down
Awesome squat stand. I got the monster utility bench which is built like a tank too. Single skinny bar topped out gives enough height for T2B and kipping pull-ups for me at 6’0”. I can rock the unit a bit but it’s plenty solid to make it work without booting into my floor.

Awesome equipment
Awesome equipment - that is all I can say. The only issue is the delay in shipping, but I appreciate the care in shipping. Compared to thier competitors they do an awesome job. The quality of the rack, barbells, bench, weights etc. we’re woth the wait.

Custom cut
Overall I am happy with the product. This is my second squat rack and first in the 3’ x 3’. As always great quality. A little cut more feedback with the custom cut would have been nice as the pull-up bar sticks out slightly above the frame. Maybe a half inch but again that was only the custom cut. It was cut to the height I desired but wished they had called it they identified an issue but I can’t complain much about that. Still the best solution for a low ceiling in my opinion. Satisfied customer here.
