I bought one of their racks and a bunch of other shit from them Because they are a cool bunch of guys who gives back to the powerlifting community by placing articles on their site and this one on a regular basis. Their customer service is top shelf. I have spoken with them several times and have gotten nothing but steller advice and an honest opinion on multiple issues.
Sure Williams Strength Syatems makes the racks they sell. The difference is the EFS racks have 1-2" hole spacing. The WS racks by the pics on their site have 2-3" hole spacing. Maybe the tighter hole spacing is available for all racks, I don’t know, but the current pricing for a 3x3 with weight storage is $1250 from WS, $1195 from EFS. Sounds like you got a hella good deal tho.

I appreciate the “giveback” but couldn’t justify paying a premium for that.
When I was looking there was no economy line from elite. At that time, a 3x3 with weight storage and chin-up bar from elite would have cost just under $2000, for tax (OH resident) and shipping. For almost the same price I got a 3x3 rack with weight storage/parallel grip chin bar/separate fat bar for chins, high/low plate loaded lat pulldown, 0-90 utility bench with wheels, flat db bench with wheels. Plus, they customize everything to your specs since they manufacture their own equipment in house.
Being in Tennessee, you have Legend Fitness in your backyard. But, you would be paying tax, like I would be in Ohio with Elite.
In the end, so long as you are happy with your purchase and it serves your needs, its value is greater than the price you paid. Happy training.
