I need advice on a Squat Rack

Weider Pro 400 Squat Rack

I am looking to get this rack because it is just the right size to slip around my bench and it will spot me while I bench press (I have a standard bar and a bench for standard weight not Olympic). My squats will also be spotted now. I know that it is cheap, but I can't spend a lot of money right now and this is something I really need I don't bench a lot I won't even hit 200 for a while yet so do you think this will be good enough for now?
Thanks,
Lil'Lifter

PS if by the off chance anyone owns this rack what are your opinions of it?

i couldn't find a good squat rack, so these are what i use:

safety spotters, no interference from them, but if you can't press the bar and have to let go, it'll stop it about 1'' from your chest. i love 'em

(basically bolt onto the sides of the bench to act as, well, safety spotters, heh)

Lil'Lifter That rack is fine for what you need it for. We have one like that at the station and I love it. You can do so much with it.

Alex How much were the stands you got? I like them but I didn't see a price there.

Thanks for the support guys I think I am going to get it at the end of the school year as a "reward" for myself for all the hard work I did.

Walmart has squat racks? Hmmm.

That is exactly what I've been thinking about getting for a while. My program has kind of stalled lately, since I have outgrown my present setup. A rack like that is exactly what i need to get back in the groove!
