Weider 290 Power Tower, February 23, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Weider Club 290 Power Tower (Sports)

I was in the market for a stable, substantial Power Tower to be used primarily for pull-ups and VKR's. This product fits that description with a few notable flaws. For an easy assembly process, be sure to have a socket set handy (even though it's not listed as needed) and a few extra washers.

Pros-
Easy to assemble- took 1 person about 1 hour with a good socket set
Stable & Substantial- easily supports larger users
Small footprint relative to other Power Towers

Cons-
Arrived with numerous scratches
Foam hand grips for VKR station impossible to install (they are still off)
Many of the washers were stuck together and could not be separated without breaking them

Overall, I am happy with the purchase.
