Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm not going to review this as a squat cage, because there are enough reviews here to tell you that it is sturdy and will hold weights and has the proper dimensions to do exercises in. Also, I am not an expert at weights. What I will answer in this review is, can you assemble this thing, and how? The bench shown in this picture is not the bench that you can buy with this, but a different bench. I am a short woman with the typical amount of Ikea furniture building experience, and with another short woman friend, I was able to assemble this in a couple of hours. If you are tall and assembling this in a place where you don't care about the walls and floor, you might be able to do it as a single person, but I could not have done that in my apartment. It's not hard to figure out, and the parts are packaged really well, but it is tall and awkward. In the couple of hours of assembly time, I am not including tightening the 40 bolts. I didn't do that until today, because I had to go to Home Depot and buy better tools than what are included in the kit. I included a photo of the tools that I used, which are a 17 mm socket, a ratcheting handle for that socket, and a 17 mm wrench. You need two tools because you need to hold both the bolt head and the nut, on opposite sides. Get a ratcheting thing or you'll be sorry. Even with these tools the bolts took me a while. Once I got everything tightened, the rack is very sturdy. I attached the TRX cables as you can see in the picture, and at least with the 45-pound bar on there, I can hang my weight off the cables at any angle and the cage doesn't want to fall over. I weigh about 250 pounds, so it seems fairly untippable to me.
