All around great piece of equipment
I bought this rack 9 months ago for a home gym and have used it almost every day since then.
The packages arrived a little battered with some edges of the equipment sticking out, but that was expected with such a heavy piece of equipment. My girlfriend and I were able to assemble this in about half an hour by ourselves. I attached it to a home-made plywood/rubber lifting platform and it is extremely stable. I'm always jumping onto the pull up bar and it doesn't budge. The orange color is fantastic.
I have several attachments - the matador, the crown pull up bar, and most recently a landmine.
My only complaints are: how the landmine attaches to this unit - see that review for details; and just that the pin/pipe safety bars could be better. Every time you want to adjust the height of the safety bars, you have to take off the pipe that goes around the bar and then reinsert the pipe, through the bar. It's not my favorite thing to do alone, or in the middle of a workout. Also, when I bought the crown pull up bar, it came with silver screws which were an eye-sore when compared to the black. Rogue sent me replacement black ones for free!
I think if you are deciding between the 390, 490, and 690 that any is a good option. I personally felt "claustrophobic" squatting inside a 390 and I thought the 690 would be too big. The 490 was a good compromise. I got a plate tree because there isn't a ton of storage space on the 490 if you are squatting inside the rack.
Overall, minor flaws, but an incredible product. Would buy again.

Everything I expected
It arrived a couple of weeks ago in about a dozen boxes. It was easy to assemble but I would recommend you have a second person around as it does get heavy. I built a platform from various plans I found on the internet and bolted the rack to the platform, not to concrete floor in my garage. Seems to be more than stable. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the poor job of packing the pieces. It arrived with several large scratches because the packages broke open. See the attached photos. Other than that, an outstanding piece of equipment. Probably more than I'll ever need but exactly what I wanted.

Better than you Think!
I decided in December to remodel my garage. Garage Gym 2018. Major undertaking of 200+ hrs solo. The crowning center piece of course could be no other than the RML-490C. I struggled with the color be never wavered in choosing the 490. Got free shipping b/c I went all in Rouge and could not be happier. This thing is a beast. It's solid, and the envy of all that lay eyes on it. If you are considering a rack, consider this one. 43" inside the cage is exactly what I wanted. Goodbye gym membership. I have no criticism, I give a full-throated endorsement. The team at Rouge is on to something. Made in the USA!

RML 490C (Silver/Red/Black)
I got the special edition silver/red/black version (not sure why it isn't offered anymore). I also got the stabilizer in hopes to not have to bolt rack to floor. Unfortunately after heavier squat re-racking (600+) it does move slightly. This does not differ my recommendation as this rack is a tank. Worth the money and offers much greater selection over my previous squat stand. Paint is solid so far with no chips and overall pleased with the purchase.

Very happy with what we purchased.
We love the power rack! I also got 45lb and 35lb bars and I love to use the Bella bar, and of course I am really glad we got bumper weights! I feel the Rogue equipment is very much worth it!

Couldn't be happier. This thing is a tank. Looks great in my garage. Can't wait to start adding accessories to it.

Love my Rogue
I have had racks before , but nothing compares to my RML - 490 C
Solid build , beautiful color ( I bought the bright blue)
Welds are amazing , paint finish is impeccable , easy to assemble
3” x 3” construction makes it a tank
I bought a stabilizer as I did not want to anchor in floor and this thing doesnt move
The only thing I should tell buyers who get the risers cut is I got mine cut to 82” to accommodate low ceilings and the upper cross bar at the back with the rogue logo is only bolted down with one set of bolts and not two as the holes didnt match up
Also the pullup bar had to be bolted to the horizontal crossmembers as the bolt holes didnt match
But this issue is due to my low ceilings and not a rogue issue
This rack is a masterpiece!!!!
