At $169.99 (free shipping), this is the lowest price I've seen for this powercage model.
This doesn't actually have a 1000 lb barbell capacity as Youtube reviews say it isn't strong enough to survive a drop from an 800lb barbell. Reviews also say it is 16 gauge steel instead of 11 gauge steel for most of the structure.
However, the item is sturdy enough to be used for lighter barbell weights and is perfectly fine as a calisthenics cage (eg. pullups, dips, etc). This will be strong enough for the vast majority of people who aren't professional athletes, body builders, etc.

If you have a spotter, it's less of an issue (re: guy who got kilt by his spotter on squats) and you can bench without collars and dump the plates on bench. But I still prefer the safety bars, especially because I usually work out on my own.

The rack is an odd size of 2.35"x2.35", so not a standard size. Luckily it's the same thing as a HulkFit, so the attachments for the HulkFit work perfectly. I purchased 3 pairs of https://a.co/d/0LptTNw currently on sale and they are awesome. Hold up all my plates and make the rack more stable.
Mine arrived yesterday and it came with dip bars, j hooks, and safety bars. The package was badly damaged though and one of my yellow posts is dented. Installing this cage was a real pain as well, glad I never have to do it again. Please do yourself a favor and use an impact wrench, you'll thank me later.
I received the cage two days ago; package arrived torn a bit, and it was so heavy that the FedEx dude was super-glad I helped him carry it into the garage from his truck. All components were completely intact and all parts were included, including the safety bars. It wasn't hard to put together, just a lot of bolts (have a ratchet wrench w/17mm socket to make your life easier).
I am not a hard-core lifter, so this is definitely sturdy enough for me by far. I am going to store my weights on the weight storage attachments I also purchased, which should help, but it's fine without.
Lat pulldown attachment is presently OOS for the last few days; I contacted ProFrom about it, and they said they were swamped and didn't know when they'd have more. I would like to buy that attachment, and I've scoured the Interwebs.. if you have a spot for purchase, LMK.

Yep all of the HulkFit attachments work for this cage. The BalanceFrom and HulkFit cage are the same, just marketed with different names. I just installed the lat pulldown v2 yesterday, installation was pretty simple and it fit perfectly. I'd recommend it.
