The machine arrived in good shape, and the assembly was a little tricky but do-able in less than an hour.
The first problem is that after about half a dozen uses the machine broke. Internally the chain slipped off the internal wheel, or broke in some other
way that renders it unusable.
But even if the machine worked, there is one fundamental problem with it: it is not stable. It simply does not have the weight to keep still while using it. It
will sometimes arch up, and other times move side to side as you row.
Both my wife and I, who have used different exercise machines for many years, found it frustrating and virtually worthless because of the instability.
It seems to work fine if you stand up, hovering over the machine, but if you want to sit down and use it, this is not the machine for you.
I find it telling that the company also offers a table that secures the machine, but it is almost as expensive as the machine itself.
I hope I will be able to get a refund....
