24" Huffy Cranbrook Cruiser Bike, Ages 12+ Years, Periwinkle

It was not the easiest to secure the seat. It stills slides around when riding and also the handle bars don’t secure well. We have tightened them as much as possible and it still gets off center quite easily. Also seat bar will slide completely down the tubed seat frame and it’s very difficult to get out. It does ride well though and I like the weight and size.

I purchased this bike online from Walmart, selecting a model I had personally seen in-store the night before. The in-store price was originally $140, but online, it was listed as available for local store delivery at a sale price of $90. Expecting the same bike I had viewed, I placed the order. When the bike arrived, I opened the package to verify everything was correct—only to find that the price had been cut even further to $54 without any prior confirmation. While a discount might seem like a good thing, this wasn't the bike I expected. The quality was shockingly poor. The rear reflector was completely smashed off, with broken nuts and bolts. The soft matte paint had no protective topcoat, causing chipping and scratches straight out of the box. The stickers were bubbling and peeling, making it look like a defective or older model. The issues didn't stop there. The barcode sticker was glued so tightly to the frame that it was nearly impossible to remove. The bike lacks any shocks, making for a rough ride, and only has pedal brakes, which are not ideal for a 16-year-old. The biggest issue was with the seat adjustment—it was completely non-functional. The adjuster bar for height was missing, and the second bar that's supposed to lift the seat wasn't included. Instead, the seat was simply tightened down onto the inner pole, meaning there was no way to adjust it properly. I know for a fact that the bike I intended to buy was in-store, at the exact location I ordered it from for delivery. Instead, I ended up with what feels like a lower-end or defective model, and the price drop after purchase—without any notification—makes it feel like a bait-and-switch situation. I would not recommend purchasing a bike this way from Walmart, as the quality and the entire ordering experience were extremely disappointing.
