Mikolo Power Cage, 2000LB Power Rack with Independent Dual Pulley System, Multi-Function Home Gym Workout Machine for Cable Crossover

The overall quality, fit an finish is good. Before I ordered, I noticed some of the other reviews mentioned shipping damage to some of the components but this order was extremely well packed and there was no damage at all. The company may have changed their packing method because the packing was outstanding. The cable system with the plastic pulleys is smooth, but that brings me to the first negative. The weight trolleys that slide up and down are designed in such a way that you need to balance the weight on both sides or it starts to bind. This is annoying because you basically need double the amount of plates for using both cable sides at one time. To have 20lbs of weight on each handle, you need to have 4 total 10lb plates. 2 plates on each trolley. Only other issues are with the attachments. The straight bar attachment is too small, they should increase the length of it or ditch it and provide a close grip attachment or something else. The landmine row bar is too wide and won't get used. I ended up ordering a close grip v handle for it. Otherwise it's sturdy and works well.

I was excited to set this up, and structurally it’s a pretty steady rack — it feels stable during workouts and definitely serves its function. However, the condition out of the box was disappointing. The pull-up bar had visible scratches, and the coating on the handle was already damaged enough to scratch my hands during use. One of the catch arms also had a deep gouge that looks like it was either a shipping issue or poor quality control. The bigger issue is the hardware and construction. The washers that came with it are way too small for the job — especially with 14-gauge steel. I used a torque wrench set to 170 in-lb, which is a conservative and safe value for M10 bolts and this thickness of steel. Even so, I noticed the metal started to deform in places where there’s no reinforcement plate (see photo). That’s a clear design flaw. Larger washers or extra reinforcement plates should have been standard here. If you’re handy, you can probably work around these issues (I’ll be trying ask manufacturers for the plates), but it’s frustrating to deal with this on a brand-new piece of equipment.

Unit shipped very quickly and arrived ahead of schedule despite ordering around holidays. The instructions were very easy to follow but definitely a bit challenging to put together by myself. It took my about 2.5 hours. I highly recommend using a wrench and battery impact at the moment to tighten everything up so that it doesn't take you way more than it already does. I also recommend swapping the two bars with the numbers from Left to Right so that the traveling blocks are on the inside and you dont have issues with the barbell hitting them with the weights. This has been mentioned in the reviews before so just swap them, it is very easy. it was very well packaged (extremely heavy 2 boxes so be aware you may need some help) and at the beginning I thought everything arrived with no issues. However, after I put together there was a Defect on the pull-up bar attachment where the paint seemed to be smeared and pealing. Despite it not affecting functionality, it was annoying that a brand new, expensive rack would have that so soon so I reached out to their customer support. The responded very quickly and offered a partial refund to compensate for the damage! However, since I needed the equipment more than I needed the money, I asked if they could ship a spare component to replace it with. They AMAZINGLY AND WITHOUT ISSUE offered to send a brand new UNIT to not only replace that part of because of the troubles. I've never received better customer service treatment! No brainer I would recommend with no hesitation just knowing that's how they treat their customers!!

ok so my wife bought me this home gym and i twisted her arm to let me build it. took a good 3 or 4 hours but i wasn’t rushing. the material is pretty stout not super thin like everything always is. lots of attachments and the instructions were pretty clear. my main question before buying this was are the cables adjustable and yes they are. for the quality, inclusion of attachments and price you really can’t go wrong with this setup, i’d recommend it to anyone looking for a home gym. hope this helps!

It is really heavy to move. Great rack for its price, looks professional and sturdy. No missing parts, and easy to assemble (with help).
