I wanted to get a good quality row machine. I've owned Body-Solid equipment in the past and love their "Lifetime Warranty". The box is rather heavy, but not so bad that you can't move it by yourself. Free shipping on an item like this, plus the 40% off makes it a steal.

The instructions to assemble this are terrible. They give you two sheets to make sure you received all the parts, then another sheet just showing a full overview of how things go together. No words. I've put things like this together before, so no big deal for me, but for someone inexperienced, it may be a small challenge. It'll take about an hour to assemble.

The quality of the machine is what I expected. It'll hold up for several years. Then once/if any of the parts start to wear out, just call up Body-Solid and order replacement parts....LIFETIME WARRANTY!!!

I was able to do my first workout on the machine the same day I put it together. I was sore the next day...it works! Overall motion was fluid and easy to adjust. I highly recommend the adapter sleeves for Olympic plates, unless you have Standard plates.

The package arrived quickly. A few days before estimated as usual but the package was in rough shape. Assembly took about an hour by myself and went very smoothly with good instructions and some mechanical ability. My only complaint is that a couple of the plastic knobs were broken, but it doesn't really affect the functionality. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

When we opened this box it was apparent that someone else had thrown the pieces back and returned it - any parts that were strapped to the box had been cut. There were no instructions nor any package with the nuts and bolts. Very disheartening because it was a present for xmas. We wrapped it up (it weighted over 90 bls so it was not easy to handle) and sent it back and got an exchange (reluctantly hoping for another carton that was not used.) We opened the seconed carton which also looked like it had been tampered with, however, all the parts were there and we managed to put the Body Solid together.
