Love it! I got mine this week as well. I got Enchanted evening and the team up with Erin Vest. All of them were beautiful though, it was so hard to choose.

Just received my new signed playmat by Seb McKinnon :)!

I had the choice of a Squat Rack or a Weight Vest and I went with a Weight Vest that goes up to 150 pounds. That plus Single Leg Squats and Nordic Leg Curls can give you all the lwg work you need :D

Just entered another lockdown where I live (in Australia), so I can't access the gym (again). As this has become ridiculous at this point, I decided to quit free weights and move on to trying to building muscle through calisthenics. The idea is that even when lockdowns end altogether I can still save money by not spending it on gym fees.

However when navigating various bodyweight fitness guides, it's become apparent that it's not feasible to create hypertrophy for legs and back without free weights (i.e. squats and deadlifts). Given that, is it worth it to invest in a cheap squat rack and barbell w/ weights, and would I still save money on gym fees this way? Are there any alternatives?

Is it worth it to fork over money for a squat rack?

If you are looking for a versatile piece of home gym equipment, the Yes4All Multifunctional Deck is an excellent choice. This bench is strong enough to be used for many strength-building movements and versatile enough to make up for its higher-than-average price tag. The lower legs lock into place at 8" and 14" but can be safely set up as a decline bench. The platform moves from a flat position to a 25, 50, or 75-degree incline, with each one offering safe and stable support. The exceptional amount of ways this bench can be positioned makes it an incredibly dynamic choice for home gym use. You can easily transition from one configuration to the next without taking time away from your workout. This bench even offers a 5.65-liter storage cache beneath the central platform, though when this storage space is full, the adjustable feet are inaccessible. The coin-grip surface texture of the Yes4All provides great traction for sweaty hands or wet shoes, and the feet offer excellent floor traction as well. This step weighs in at 32 pounds, which means it won't budge while you're doing your exercises. Yes4All rates this multifunctional aerobic deck for up to 300 pounds, and we believe this to be true. During testing, we had a 200-pound man use this as a bench for heavy lifting and a step for jumping, and it held up to the challenge without fail. 
The drawbacks of the Yes4All are relatively sparse in the grand scheme of things. We found it to be quite cumbersome to move, though still doable. When lifted, the feet tend to buckle, which can add to the overall clunkiness of movement. This isn't a problem if you choose to leave the bench in one spot, but we would not recommend this step as one to purchase if you require to move it around often. The only other nitpicky detail we found with this bench is that it is only 14" tall at its highest. We love to add box jumps to our circuits, and 14" isn't high enough for a real hop-testing challenge. Ultimately, however, anyone who wants an all-in-one bench for lifts and circuits will be very happy with this award winner.

The bench was ordered after seeing the similar bench that was sold out, and it took a few weeks to arrive, but I am very happy with it.     It took me 2 minutes to unbox and 1 minute to set up, it was easy to follow the instructions and I was able to fit 3 jump ropes, thigh bands and 1 in my home gym.     This is a great bike that has many functions, it's nice and sturdy, if you pop everything in to place correctly.     The bench is sturdy and easy to put together, perfect for a home gym, and it has extra storage for those items you want to keep tucked away

I keep the bench covered with a pretty blanket when it isn't being used, because it provides extra seating in my living room, and it can do so many things.
