Going to purchase a rack for my basement.  Wondering if anyone has any specific types they would suggest or if anyone has seen or used the AM Staff TR023, as I coould have this one delivered to my home for about 500$.
 
Any input at all would be welcomed.
 
Thanks

I just saw some at Dicks that look pretty nice for the money. Don’t remember the price, but think they were in the 500 range. I think most good racks are about the same. Some have better and stronger accessories.  Most good rack are 1000.00 and up.

For about $200 dollars more you could get a really good rack with a really good track record.  Louie sells a 3 x 3 power rack on Westside Barbell's site for about $700.  It has everything you need including smaller hole increments through the bench area and pins for bands.  Also has a regular and a fat bar pull up handle.  I bought it and couldn't be happier.  It's the least expensive quality rack that I was able to find.  So far (that was 2 years ago) I haven't seen any better deals.  Cheaper ones are out there but you get what you pay for.

craigslist.
 
bought my rack for $100 off of a local high school, have had it for over 2 years and no problems whatsoever. Put 2x4s under the legs to lift it a little so I can use bands. Solid.

Kyle,
I didn't think about you being in Canada. You've got a tough situation.  It's suck for shipping no matter where you go.  Does Cananda have any good places?
