MikoloPower Cage, Power Rack with Cable Crossover System, 1500LBS Squat Rack with LAT Pull Down System, Workout Cage with Pulley System for Fitness Home Gym

Took me about 4 hours to put together by myself. Instructions are picture only, but very easy to follow. I recommend a partner for some parts if available, but one person can handle the project. I also recommend a ratchet and socket or ratcheting wrenches over the included wrenches they provide for the build. It’ll help with time and will be easier to build.Once completed, the cage seems very solid and sturdy. All moving parts seem to move smooth and without any problems. I will be adding a silicone based lubricant as recommended to the guide rod and pulley system, which should make things even better. Can do so many different exercises, and I will be cancelling my gym membership soon. Being able to do almost every necessary exercise with this one cage is great. Now just waiting on my bench with leg extension/curl attachment to complete the home gym and help me save money on a membership.Highly recommended! And looks great!

First of all received it 5 days earlier than scheduled.Open the boxes and everything was in perfect order. No scratches no damage. No missing parts.It took me (80 yr old man) around 5 hours to assemble it completely. A little longer than what most people required, but I got the job done; by myself. Test it out the police system to check for his smoothness in action. I opted to go with the polished aluminum pulleys instead of the plastic. Very happy I did so! The pulley system is super smooth. Not a sound or any drag in the system at all. Tomorrow will be the day that it gets put through its first real workout. I'm anticipating a really good workout on this cage. No more stretch bands! Yay!Oh, and for those people who use adjustable dumbbells I found that my dumbbells fit nicely on the weight rack. I have special hangers for the dumbbells so they attached to the weight rack. I do not have to buy any plates for this cage. At least not yet until I outgrow the dumbbells. LOLI highly recommend this cage for intermediate and advanced weight lifters or bodybuilders. I guess it would be good for beginners as well. I have been body building (off and on due to injuries throughout the years) since 1972 and have owned a lot of different equipment throughout the years, including Smith machines. This is the best cage yet.Oh, and before I forget I would like to say that the customer service for this company is totally outstanding! I have emailed them several times asking questions before making my purchase and they have returned my emails within hours, not days, not weeks.I highly recommend this equipment and this company.Hope this review will be helpful.

Best bang for your buck! The rack is very sturdy and has limitless possibilities of what you can do with it. Takes a good while to put together, so be prepared. I also recommend using a lubricant and spraying the pulley system when you have finished putting it together. I had issues with the pulley system sometimes getting stuck or feeling like it wasn’t smooth. After applying a spray lubricant, it moves flawlessly. Highly recommend! Great product!

Very good quality for price. Have to change weights as compared to adjusting a pin on more expensive models. All attachments one would want. Handles/dipping grips in the way of adjusting the left and right pulley height holders. Overall strong and sturdy. Pulley cables smooth. Protective bars on sides serve as protection for weight bar but really gets in the way and I lowered them

The media could not be loaded. Off the bat I give it 5 stars!Shipping: Ordered March 6th. Delivered March 10th. BOTH boxes! As many people will notice, boxes can arrive a little beat up. But riding on the floor of FedEx/UPS trucks for those days can do that. Nothing was damaged and all parts were there. NOTE: both boxes are heavier. Team lift if you are very strong in the core or back. Lift with your legs!Assembly: Not too bad! Instructions make you think a little bit. But the parts are listed and marked in each bag. Meaning each part is wrapped in plastic with a letter and number on them. Hardware is in separate boxes too, also lettered and tells you how many of each you have. Each STEP to assembly will list the parts you need and how many of each. It’s one STEP per PAGE. Makes it easier. All in all it took my lady and I 3 hours to put together.Durability: Okay this is what a lot of people worry about. It is DURABLE. 2x2 steel uprights. There’s plates that go around the bottom to secure it even more after bolted together. Does not move much. Sure you’ll have a TINY bit of shake when you’re doing pull-ups. But other than that not much!Functionality: The cables it comes with actually are awesome. Seem commercial gym quality. I got the plastic pulleys since I see no need for aluminum. You can put some 3 in 1 oil on them to suit your needs if be. I like the landmine attachment. You can put that either side of the rack, chose a hole. Most of the attachments it comes with are actually nice. I got aftermarket VBAR for pushdowns and a different lat pull down attachment and D handles. Theres enough space between uprights to bench press inside the cage.Conclusion: I really like this rack. I think it is a great buy. Heavy duty and very nice to add to a home gym. I was a little hesitant on it as to just how sturdy and how it would perform at that price range. But, it exceeds expectations. I’m sure it will with you too!!
