Construction is weak and shaky.
Look at cage weight only... it says: "145 Pounds (power cage only)."...
After that look at another similar products like dickssportinggoods's ETHOS Power Rack at 278 lbs... that one costs much more... but in my opinion it is better product.
Those 2 power racks have 11 gauge steel and similar spec rating...
However walmart cage has 11 gauge steel only at top (pullups bars are 11 gauge) everything else is thin metal.... and you could see this from weight only...
Moreover metal quality construction of walmart rack is cheap (weak metal and parts are not precise)... when I tightened bolts and nuts yellow painted metal was slightly bent...
So bottom line: would it work - probably yes... is it a quality product - no it is not!
It has a cable crossover attachment available for $250 as well here

The next closest price power rack I was considering was over $300 more with lat pull and cable crossover so I decided to risk it
EDIT: MAJOR UPDATE
So some of the negative reviews mention that the packages arrive severely damaged. I just got mine today and that is an understatement. Both ends of the box are completely open with parts literally falling out. I haven't started putting it together yet but I can't imagine that I'm not missing parts. I wish I could upload a pic for you all to see. It's ridiculous

I have the ProGear from Walmart [walmart.com], and I don't think the rack is flimsy at all. But it is easy to knock around unless it is weighted/bolted down.
Thinking on buying this and waiting for barbell/weights deals.

To compare there is also this version on Amazon for the same price which has the safety straps and says it's 11 gauge tubular steel frame construction. The total weight of the rack seems low though.
