Pretty happy with these plyo boxes. I was a little hestiant to spend $63 each on two of them for a total of $126, but as someone who has actually made my own plyo box before, I know what kind of material and labor goes in to making these things (included a photo of my 22x24x28 homemade plyo box).
The main reason I got these is for a few different reasons. First, it's to have a dual platform setup for doing landmine belt squats to get up higher and have that extra range of motion while using 45lb plates. The second reason is to have an equal height platform to do box jerks (elevated deadlifts/rack pulls). And the third reason is to add additional height to my plyometric jumps, as I have maxed out my 28" height and need to increase the challenge for my jumps from the ground. With including my DIY 28" box, after adding these Yes 4 All boxes I can now do 34" box jumps and 40" box jumps.
I read the reviews and was prepared for the issue with no pilot holes during assembly, I have my own tools as you can see from my own DIY plyo box so this was not an issue for me personally, even if I can understand the frustration of other reviewers. Thankfully, that was not the case for me. (This review date is 09/30/2025.)
Every single hole for my assembly was pre-drilled and it went together as smooth as butter. I even had 2 extra screws per plyo box for a total of 4 additional screws. This is great, and I realize that some people will be shorted screws, but hopefully due to their practice of providing +2 screws means someone will need to be shorted THREE screws before it becomes an issue.
Now again, as I mentioned, I have built a plyo box before. The one in my photos is about 10 years old, which puts it around 2015, and even back then I probably spent over $100 making it, just in materials. I made it nice so it took a long time to measure and make the cuts straight and true, and then gluing it and assembling it takes time as well. Factoring in time we are well over $100, even though that includes paint as well.
This box has extra features which add to the cost, and then tariffs these days, I figured out I was probably at least breaking even if not getting ahead. Firstly, all of the pre-drilled pilot holes. Secondly, we have the black painted plywood interior, and thirdly we have the grip texture laminate on the exterior surfaces, and then fourthly we have the handle cutouts, and fifthly we have the etched decals such as the "6" and "Yes 4 All" logo, and sixthly we have the complex jigsaw cuts of the four sidewalls, and then seventhly we have the matched and included assembly hardware screws, then eighthly we have them with the pyramid style build ability to stack on top of eachother, then ninthly we have to flat pack and it and add the packaging materials and cardboard shipping box, and then after ALL of that we have those tariffs. Honestly this is a fair price. I couldn't have made these myself for this price after factoring in my time.
Cons… not many, the most notable is the hardware is phillips screw heads. This is such an awful fastening interface… I seriously wish the world would do away with it. Why aren't we using torx in the year 2025? They included tools for assembly anyways… why not just make them torx?
Assembly took maybe 7 minutes each. I used my cordless power DRILL, (note, I used a drill, not an impact driver). Using a drill means you can adjust the torque setting way down to where you don't damage your wood. After setting a mid-LOWWWWW torque setting, I then followed up with a quality HAND TOOL phillips screwdriver to ensure proper strength, which looked like maybe 1/10th of a turn per screw.
Take strong note: you may have to rotate the TOP of the box 90 degrees FOUR times to see where the pilot holes line up the MOST NEATLY. It will be a minimal difference, but there WILL be a preferential direction. Don't forget after assembling the four sidewalls, you may need to "rack" the box left-to-right to ensure proper pilot hole placement of the top piece.
Take an extra two minutes to do this cleanly, and you will be rewarded with boxes that stack neatly and are very square.
The weight of these boxes is around 18.5 lbs. I weighed and included photos of each box, one of them weighs ~18.25lbs and the other is ~18.50lbs. Which means they're heavy duty enough to feel sturdy and not like they're going to collapse or slip around on your, but also at a weight that will be easy enough to move around the gym with one hand.
All in all, if you're looking for a nice lowish height box, then these are a good option. 5/5 would buy again.
