I got mine a couple of weeks ago, and I love it! I have to say that the assembly time is way too low. I would say it took me a good 5-6 hours to take my time and make sure I got it right. The instructions are lacking in a few spots. Not too bad though.
Also, this is a heavy machine and all the parts come in one big box, so you may need help getting it to where you want to build it. (Once its built, you can roll it around.) When they delivered mine, they dropped it right in the garage for me, but after that, I was on my own.
I have read mixed reviews of this system, but I think they can be summed up like this.. .If you love free weights, this might not be for you, but for a cable and pulley system, this is a high quality machine.
Hope this is useful
Ok thats the quote from SD. I've got an old school Bowflex and I'm thinking of upgrading. I'm on the wall on this one, someone please convince me one way or the other. Thanks!
