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

Listen, I was skeptical at first. $850 on a power cage seemed crazy. Took me all of 4 hours to assemble solo, some instructions not extremely clear. I found myself going to the next step before finishing the previous but overall not bad. I found 2 cons with this machine and they aren't the end of the world. 1: I had to use a lubricant/oil to lube the sliders for the cable machine. 2. The finish one the metal easily scratches. HOWEVER this cage is extremely sturdy, no creaking, doesn't wobble. Even comes with expansion bolts to bolt to the floor if you feel the need. I highly recommend this cage to anyone who is looking to build a home gym on a budget! I would also recommend to splurge for the aluminum pulleys but overall the plastic ones look to be okay. Mikolo if you're reading this you've made one hell of a product.

I was really hesitant because I thought there was no way something with this price could have longevity. It’s been 6 months and I use it at least three times a week and it’s still like the day I put it together. Whether doing pull ups or reracking after squats, it stays sturdy. The cables glide smoothly and evenly, landline attachment works great from multiple angles. I’m not setting powerlifting records but I do lift heavy. This rack and its attachments have proven to be able to handle heavy weight being slammed onto it. Assembly was pretty easy, though time consuming. All the parts came in labeled boxes and bags. I laid everything out so that all the pieces were in order, and followed the instructions. I assembled the entire thing, by myself, in a few hours. It would have been easier with an extra set of hands, but if you have any ability to think mechanically, you’ll be fine. Would definitely recommend this set up to anyone. I would definitely buy this brand again.

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.

This is the second rack we have purchased from Mikolo. The first one was their foldable one but due to house limitations we got this one now. Assembly took about two hours, has a lot of exercise options, and it feels sturdy enough for a home gym. It came with some scratches but I guess that was the fedex guy not happy about hauling these large boxes around.

Very sturdy, lots of attachments. Going to have to find space for all the things
