Is a pull up frame a worthy purchase?

Hi, I was just looking for all of your expert opinions

I want to try to build my shoulders and back and was looking to buy something like this. I already have one of those door frame pull up bars but it only fits on 1 door in my house (the rest of the doors are right up against a wall so I can't use it there). So I was just thinking of buying this frame and being able to do dips on it too and attach a pull up thing with a pulley cable I saw on Amazon. Would prefer something permanent set up in a room rather than be fiddling around with the pull up bar in the kitchen door. Would anyone recommend this frame? It's going for around 270 euros.

Thanks

That will work for pull-ups and dips but you’d normally expect that for home training you might have something more versatile given that has quite a large footprint. You could put in a quarter rack with pull up attachment for same footprint.

If you wanted something similar, but that you can take down more readily, this is 20% off right now. Brazilian company based in Dublin: https://gymmonster.ie/products/pull-up-monster-clearence

Thanks, I ended up buying the pull up bar that you recommended from Gym Monster.

Was going to say get gym rings for €30, they are ideal for pull ups / dips.
