I bought a flat foot rack and a front extension to have more space to store weights and in case things got wobbly. Let this serve as your warning that that extension won't have flat feet on it, so it'll be floating unless you have something to put under it. I got all my parts in eventually in several different boxes. It seemed like the sequence I received the orders in was the worst way possible because I couldn't do much assembly until the third or fourth set of boxes came in. Once I got to assembling things, I realized that there was some hardware missing but I wasn't sure which boxes it would have been missing from because there's nothing on the site that tells you which of the several packages should have which units of hardware and several were still due to come in. I eventually got all the boxes, and I was definitely short a bunch of the 4-5 inch bolts, split washers, and nuts. I just went to The hardware store and picked some up, but all the frustrations with that is what cost the review a star. Other than that, the equipment is solid, sturdy and what I would expect.
