Just ordered this one:

At $349.99 it's a good bang for the buck.
I'll update everyone when it shows up.

Great rack, I've had mine for about a year and half. NYBB ships their orders right away by FEDEX ground. Since I live in NYS I got it in two days.

Looks like I'll be getting it next Wednesday. I live in SOCAL, so that's pretty F'n good.

Can you give a progress report on the item? Wear and tear, useability, whatever else.
I use it 2 to 3 times a week for squating.
In would say that its a good home power rack. The welds are good and and it went together as advertised. It is however not an industrial/ professional power rack and it shows in it's weight. The professional ones I have seen must be double the weight iof the one I own.
Considering the numbers that you are squating, this power rack will last you a long time. I'm not bagging on you, my squat numbers are far from Impressive. We could both be squatting 500+ and this power rack would be AOK.
I haven't owned it long enough to have any wear and tear, but considering it's in my garage and I'm the only user, it's going to hold up just fine.
Give it two thumbs up.
