No experience with them. However, any company that considers a 95kg power rack as "Commercial" just can't be right.

Says the Olympic bar is needle bearing (good for oly), 28.5mm (not ideal for oly) 500kg weight capacity (generally a sign of less expensive steel). Sounds like they took an inexpensive bar and shoved bearings in it since that is usually a sign of a decent bar. For reference, the CAP OB-86B has the same specs but with bushings instead of bearings and it is $130 (American). Rogue bars are $300ish (Canadian) and are guaranteed quality. I'd spend my money on this if that's your budget:
