I was going to purchase a different power rack and quality bench but saw this instead. Should I go with this or a more stable bench?

There is a learning curve in the beginning while using it because if you don't adjust it just right you could end up using your legs to lift to the front of the bench off the ground. It is a solid bench though so I wouldn't worry about buying another one unless your overall weight is going to exceed 600 pounds (Body weight +free weights).

The stability is fine, but the pull-up bar is something to be desired. I've had to replace it once due to the weld breaking on both sides. I had a friend make me a new one out of a higher gauge steel to stabilize it. I only weigh 185.

The rack does move and isn't as stable as another one I ordered but for the price it's a good bench

We have been quite happy with this rack and have had no problems with stability. It is a great rack at a great price.

If I could redo buying a bench and rack I would have found a more sturdy bench, as I said previously this bench is always crooked and it gets very annoying. Spend the extra money for a better bench because in the long run it will be worth it.

I would not recommend putting more that 300 pounds on the squat rack. The rack is not very stable and tends to rock with heavier weight. I recommend even less weight when you are trying to bench. This not a really good bench for heavy lifting.

I suggest returning it. The company dropped the ball on this over priced rack. We urgently needed it for a trip so I kept the wobbly piece of scrap metal. I wrapped it with some thin rubber I had and it helps the wobble, but really I should not have to do this.

I think the bench is a pretty sturdy bench. It's very well made and doesn't feel like most other cheaply made benches in this pice range. I haven't tried attaching it to the rack, not sure if you can do that or how you would do that. I have to say overall I am pretty impressed with this set my only complaint was the assembly, the instructions are a pain and are not very clear at all, it is definitely not a one man job by no means.

I would say no unless your table is extremely low. The intent of this bench is storage.

Just make sure you tightin the screws and stuff right or it wont be stable. I use mines in the garage and it's ok. Sometimes if your using the leg extension, and depending on how much weight is on there, if you are moving it too hard it will make the bench move in reverse a little bit. Don't know how it does on carpet.

Yeah if you're pulling that much weight, I think it would be better to just buy a power cage/rack

No i haven't...you probably have to find the correct screw type. It would make the work bench less stable

I'm sorry that I can't help you. The bench didn't quite fit the area for which it was bought -- vanity area (it was too high.) So, I returned it.

This bench is very sturdy, but I doubt it would hold that much weight. Check the info from the manufacturer for weight limits. There is a larger bench advertised, so you might want to compare with that one as it may hold more weight.

I think it's versatile. It is wider than a bench so if you are looking for a standard bench storage you might not like it. It would be a great solution tho if you want to sit in comfort. I think Home Decorators catalog has some great shoe benches also.

Yes, the bench is separate from the power rack. Also don't listen to the guy telling you not to get it. I have owned it for two years and for the money it is completely worth it.

The bench is pretty good for the price. It's not commercial gym grade by any means. . I bench 240 and use about 60-80 pounds on preacher curl at the gym. The bench can handle heavy weight but it does get a little wobbly. It takes a little extra weight control and form which can be good for the workout I guess. . Overall for price it's good. Not a bad deal.

Personally I would correct the installation. It may not move and appear solid but do you want to risk it with 300lbs on your back? I wouldn't. This is a safety issue and should definitely be corrected.

NO,NO NO, I do not recomend this at all. The power rack holds heavy weight but not for pulling, The power rack can move and that is all you need, If the power rack is bolted to the ground in cement might help. but this model is not made for that, you will need to upgrade to twice the strenght of this power rack, I hope this helps.

Yes the bench is stable , the bench is made into the table , not separate .

It is a pretty good bench and I am very happy with it. However, the base of it is not very wide, so it may be a bit unstable for dragon fly.
