This is a nice feature to have and I use it all of the time not only for squats but for reverse push-ups and should presses. 3) Quality weight bench. The bench is very nice for its price. It goes (almost) flat to (almost) 90 degrees upright so you can do a wide array of exercises. It also can be used for quad extensions, hamstring curls, bicep curls, and I even use it for seated rows. The squat rack will support up to 600lbs and the bench supports 300lbs.

You can see my video review on that here: Cons: 1) Stability Concerns: When loading the squat rack, I always make sure to place some weights on the weight holders to stabilize it otherwise it feels wobbly, especially at 135lbs+. I am concerned at times it will break if I load it with too much weight and don't have it stabilized with support weights. 2) Longevity of the Bench: While the bench has been great so far, the inner-core is (I believe) plywood) so at some point the bolts will break from the wood and the bench will fall apart. I just hope that doesn't happen when I am bench pressing 150lbs+. 3) Weight Storage Arms: These are designed for both Olympics and the smaller (I believe) 1' weights, so the actual support is ~ a 1' hollow metal tube with a plastic sleeve for Olympic weights. I store around 40-50lbs on each side and am afraid to load anymore for fear the metal will snap under too much load. Verdict: Buy this if you want an affordable and quality Olympic weight bench and squat rack! There are a lot of minor complaints from various owners of this weight bench and squat rack, such as the bench not going 100% flat, the squat rack being a bit wobbly but you should expect such for $180. So for this price tag, this is a steal. If you want something more robust that will handle a lot more weight and be a lot more secure for power lifting, steer clear of this.
