I have owned a Saf-T-Gym for more than thirty years. I used it, my four children used it, and three of my grand children used it for strength training. It has seen a lot of weights in its day and it is completely sturdy and usable like the day we got it. All of my children and grand children were top athletes, some of them earning full college scholarships. Heres the problem, they all want me to leave it to them in my will. Thanks Rick for an amazing product!
