Marcy 100 lbs Stack Home Gym

The machine turned out to be everything I expected and more! I paid for assembly as with a machine as serious as this I did not want to make any mistakes. Assembly was quite expensive but absolutely essential - it would have taken me hours. Worth every penny. Time will tell regarding quality and reliability but looking good.

First off, if you aren't able to easily follow instructions that only have pictures, I would highly recommend you take a look at the YouTube video of the assembly on this product. While the instructions were fantastic, they had no writing on it, only pictures with numbers next to the pieces. All hardware was in four separate 'boxes' that was marked with the step number (i.e., Step 1-6). I think that helped tremendously! It took me about an hour and a half to get this thing assembled by myself, but it took about 30 minutes just to get all the pieces unboxed - for a total of around two hours. Once you got going, it was really simple, but be careful to follow all the instructions on the pulleys, and install the wire BEFORE you put the pulleys on, or you'll end up having to pull them out like I did :) This weight machine isn't the biggest, but I want it for conditioning, and just to stay in shape. This will accomplish all of that. I love that it comes with a padlock, so my kids can't mess around with it and potentially get their fingers squished between the weight plates, either. The several times I've used it so far, I've been extremely happy with the quality for the price I paid. So far, it seems reliable, and it's very sturdy. Happy customer!
