Since I don't have the need\/space for a full rack, I decided to go with these squat stands. They are super easy to assemble and feel very stable (I have some 20 kg plates stored on there most of the time).Tip: combine with the deluxe utility bench 2.0 and you can use it as a competition rack, but with more versatility (adjustable bench) and for less money!Upsides: - Adjustable width and connected, so very stable. - Super easy assembly. - Small footprint (for those who want to use it in their home gym, like me). - Plate holders on the back. - Dipping handles on the back (I don't use these, but it's a nice extra feature).Downsides:- No numbering of the holes, but eventually you just know what heights you use for each exercise. - The spotter arms have rubber on them, but the j-cups don't. Paint came off the first time I put a bar on there. I fixed it by wrapping some rubber around it with some tie-wraps. - No rubber feet (not a problem for me, as it sits on my platform).
