Anyway, back to the topic of gyms, I just moved to an apartment with a dedicated gym room, and the doorway pull-up bar I have doesn't fit ANY of the doors in the apartment! They all either have a low ceiling on one end that prevents the back side of the bar from resting on top of the door frame, or are too wide for the actual bar to rest on.
So I'm thinking of buying a pull-up station/tower. I considered making one out of 4x4s and steel pipe, but that'd still run me I think between $125 and $150, plus time and effort (and having to paint it too).
Having the ability to do dips would be great too, but it'd have to be solid for dips, as I like doing weighted dips, often with 90+ pounds.
I see this in-stock from Walmart, and it says it has a 440-lb capacity, but there's like no reviews on it. Amazon had I think 5 reviews for it and they were good, but a similar looking one from Walmart got not good reviews, and I don't want to spend $200 on something that isn't pretty damn sturdy.

Any recommendations for $250 or under for a pull-up and dip station? I think my options are either one like that, or just a squat rack that has a straight pull-up bar on top of it, which should, in theory, be fairly cheap for something fairly sturdy, but I know stock of a lot of things are VERY limited at the moment.
Oh, and I also have TRX-style bands that I'd like to be able to attach to the pull-up bar to do things like rows, triceps extensions, rear delts, etc., so it should be sturdy in other planes besides just the vertical plane you'd expect from doing pull-ups.
Thanks in advance everyone!
Edit: I'm less worried about the one I linked from Walmart now. The one that I thought looked similar (that got bad reviews) actually looks like the metal is a lot thinner, and it's listed at only 13.2 pounds to the sturdier-looking one's 72 pounds.
