While this product does do the job it is designed to do, it never really felt...right. It felt very light, and as such when wanting to use heavier weights, I always felt like it was going to tip over which made lifting very uncomfortable. Another problem I encountered (which may be unique to myself, but still worth mentioning) is that may need a straight bar longer than 60 inches. Otherwise the stands are very close to each other and you have to carefully step over the stands when handling the bar during squats. This can be every tedious (and in my opinion dangerous becuase you could easily trip) when handling weights upwards of 200 lbs. I've attached some photos to demonstrate. As you can see, my stance has to be very narrow which is not safe squatting technique.
