I would love a separate cable machine. It's the first thing on my wish list. But for now, in my small bedroom room, this gives me access to a cable. And for that it's priceless. It's obviously not perfect. But one advantage it does have over some cable machines, is that you can pull at any angle and as it rotates, it allows rotational movements etc. too. I can't comment on this vs cheaper pulley's on Amazon etc. But I can say that this fills a gap in my gym, and I get the famous Spud Inc straps with it too. They are sweet and make the purchase worth it for that alone.

Looks great and holds the weight no problem. Recommend getting the Rogue Monster Lite Short Plate Storage Post Pair (trying saying that fast) to hold extra change plates etc. The main issue with this weight tree are the posts. They are powder coated, which look great, but the powder coat just scraps off, leaving bare steel exposed and black dust over your plates and then barbell. The inside of the posts also don't have a rubber gasket to prevent plates hitting the central post or bolts. I think Rogue went for a certain look/style rather than function with this one.

Solid box, with inner support. Much cheaper than the Rogue equivalent. Mainly used as a table these days... The Abmat RooBox is a step above, but also a step above in price.

Hard to get anything other than the starter kit in the UK. It's good, but wish it came with more of the medium hooks and less of the short hooks. Depending on what you want to store, you may also need to buy separate hook linear. The separate hooks etc. are not cheap in the UK. But overall, a good system.

Limited sizes and colours in the UK, but the standard rectangle in black is prob the go to for most people anyway. Pricing prob a bit higher in UK too but it's a solid and versatile storage system that works well.

These are the one "gift to myself" I've bought for my gym. They're too expensive to recommend unless you just want the high end design. I have the v3 with blue and brushed stainless steel heads. The blue looks great, but the brushed stainless steel is just beautiful. I would like to compare to the original polished stainless steel, but happy with these.

I originally bought this to do Bulgarian split squats. Which works great, though a bench also works great. I then ended up using it for all sorts of things. Reverse back extensions, Nordic curls, Preacher curls etc. I do prefer the Monster design with a single inline post which takes up less vertical room on the rack, but you can turn this upside down so works for most things. Not used as much as other things, but I'm glad I have it. It gives options.

If you have a Powertec bench, and no room for a standalone machine, then this gets the job done. It's not perfect, weight drops off at the top of legs curls for example, but it does work and I'll take that over nothing. Affordable too. Though if you have the space, I would go separate machine if possible.
