Opinions on these squat stands please.

Im looking at buying these squat stands the guy said when he bought them he was told they could handle 400kg. They look very sturdy to me, the bracing and support but was hoping some of the guys here with more experience with squat stands could have a look at the pics and give their advice. I know it will be difficult to give advice on just pics without a brand name or seeing them in person, I just need some squat racks that will hold at least 170kg.

They look reasonably strong.
Don't see why the wouldn't handle close to 400kg.

One strange think I noticed was the bottom crossbeam on one stand is going in a different direction to the other one, a little inconsistent.

Wow, I didnt notice that, good eye. Thats very weird especially if they werent custom made and were manufactured, I wonder if that would effect the structural strength at all.

He only wants $90 for them plus shipping, not sure how much that will end up costing though, need to get a qoute.

Thanks.

The different direction bracing won't affect the strength, just looks weird at first.

For $90, it's a great buy, as long as shipping is not some crazy amount.

Thanks for that shipping company. Shipping is $68 to my door. Hmm, $170 for those or $205 for these delivered SQUAT AND BARBELL PRESS STANDS WITH SAFETY RAILS (eBay item 250775186873 end time 27-Feb-11 22:59:40 AEDST) : Sport 200kg rating and 2 yr warranty.

The fully welded ones are alot better.

Thanks man.
