I almost ordered on Thursday at $139, now it's $129. I really want $99, but I also don't want them to sell out.
I tried to order the lat pulldown option with it, but kept saying it was out of stock when I would checkout, finally realized you have to buy them separately. Rack ships from CA via FedEx, the lat pull down is shipping from unkown via Estes.
$190 out the door for a rack and lat pulldown is a solid deal for a entry level cage.
Gave up having a garage gym, and that rack is too tall for my basement (7' ceilings).
For $130 and next day delivery (that part was a surprise for me), I grabbed the yellow model.
Comments all say the rack no longer includes safety bars, so I'll use mine from my other rack.
I dislike that they label it as 'gauge similar to other racks' - that means nothing.
I'll check once I get it.
Unclear what size holes are in the rack for attachments, but you can buy safeties from lots of companies, which means the cost isn't exactly this low for everything you're after, but still a great price for an entry-level rack.
UPDATE:
Received the rack, here's some notes.
2"x2" uprights 14-gauge steel (measured with caliper since it wasn't disclosed)
No safeties - even the manual they include shows no safeties will be included.
I'm really impressed with how well this is packaged.
They lined the cardboard with 5mm thick plywood to help prevent it from busting through, which is the first time I've had a company do that, ESPECIALLY at this price point.
I can't get the photos to render correctly here, so I'll just include a link to a small imgur album with the relevant pictures: https://imgur.com/a/power-rack-dpyJqzk
For the cost, this beats any other rack I can find.

If you're really concerned about the safeties, you can get some from Titan fitness for $64.
That still puts you <$200 which is still $100 less than the next cheapest rack I can find.
Update 2:
Just assembled the rack - it's ok.
For $130, it's about as robust as you'd expect.
It will get you through a workout, but if you over tighten the bolts, it'll crimp the square tubing.
The frame is painted not powder coated so it scratches very easily.
The assembly is 10mm bolts with nylon stop nuts - no washers.
So when I was assembling it, the nut and the bolt head both scraped circles of paint off.
None of this is critical or integral to its strength but it's usually part of the conversation.
I do still think this is a steal at $130, but buyers should be aware of what you're getting.
It also dawned on me I can't use my old plate horns on this rack because it only has front facing holes (no side holes for attachments).
Not a huge deal, but something I hadn't considered.
Update 3:
It was pointed out I should measure the uprights because they aren't 2"... they are 2-3/8" x 2-3/8".
Because so many big names build 2"x2" racks, there are an infinite supply of attachments that fit this.
There are significantly fewer that fit 2-3/8"x2-3/8".
That sucks.
The Jcups have no padding on them, so they are slowly starting to chew at the knurling on my bar which is not ok IMO.
There are many 2" jcups on the market for reasonable prices, but I can only find 1 brand that makes padded jcups at 2.5" -

Ranging $50 - $90.
It's still a bargain, but think through what you will be wanting to do with this.
If you're wanting all the bells and whistles, this isn't the rack for you.

Update: Well suck.
2-3/8" x 2-3/8"...... I may slowly be regretting my purchase.

and furniture foot pads are an interesting idea. I'm considering buying some UHFW sheet and modifying my existing 3"x3" accessories for use (specifically my rolling jcups)

This one is currently out of stock but it was either $25 or $30 shipped for a pair. Guessing this SD got them all bought. May come back. https://www.amazon.com/HULKFIT-Ba...CLKM/?th=1
Here is a 2.5" - https://www.amazon.com/AmStaff-Fi...0CT3VRXSC/
Another 2.5" - https://www.amazon.com/AmStaff-Fi...07R6P9DDY/
The last two here are probably the same ones that you found. There were at least a couple of other options but they look to be sold out on Amazon.
