 new toy! April 9, 2010

I really like this. It was easy to put together (there is an exploded view not regular directions) You will need tools to put it together. My one mistake assembling it - was I missed putting the rubber sleeves on the steps - and decided it wasn't worth taking it apart to put them on.
I am 5'8". It fits me perfectly. My husband is 6'5" and it is too small for him. I got it for me- so I am perfectly happy with it - but if you are really big - you might want to find one to "try on" first.
 Small, light and inexpensive, but.. November 7, 2009

My order was fulfilled by Bayou and arrived sooner than expected. The plastic bag that holds the bolts and washers was ripped, so the hardware was strewn all over the box. As mentioned by other reviewers, the assembly instructions are limited to a schematic. Although the footprint of this station is really small, it works for me because I am only 5' 7". Initially I did bump my head on the pull up bar while doing dips. Also,the distance between the inside edges of the two arm pads is only about 18 inches. So, I think anyone taller than me will find that this unit is cramped and that the pull up bar on the same side as the dip station is not ideal. Also, the diameter of all the grips are narrow and not as comfortable as the grips on my Body-Solid home gym. If you do buy one and have difficulty sliding the foam grips into the push up bars, apply soapy water to the bar and the inside of the grips and they will slide in fairly easily.
 Functional, but many compromises May 15, 2009

I decided to take a chance on this because the reviews were ok, and it's cheap. Well...it's a good try, but I think that in order to hit the sweetspot of attractive price and UPS shippable packaging, too many compromises had to be made.
Kind of flimsy: I weight about 190, and this thing flexes noticeably under my weight. I can see the pull bar bend as I put weight on it, and when I do dips, the whole thing gets rocking. At no time does it feel like it's going to tip over, but it definitely flexes in use.
Ergonomic nightmare: I'm 6' tall, and for me, the back pad is way too low. When doing pullups, at full extension, the horizontal arms are touching my armpits- it's too narrow. When I do dips, if I'm not careful, I will hit my head on the pullup bar. I understand now why MOST pullup/dip stations place the pullup bar on the other side of the tower. It takes up more room, but it would make a MUCH more useable apparatus.
I think the photos they use are either photoshopped, or they found the tiniest models they could to make the device appear roomy. It isn't.
$200 isn't a lot of money, so I don't feel 'burned' or ripped off...I just wish now that I had built something myself instead.
Look for mine on Craigslist real soon!
Good but not as solid as expected October 27, 2008

This is a very useful machine. I'm using it frequently and I'm impressed on how it helps me improve my fitness.
I wish it were a bit more solid. It does squeal when doing leg raises since the base assembly is not as sturdy. Just a little play and the base makes noises when torsion is applied.
Aside from that, I recommend this as a must have.
all things considered, still worth the price August 8, 2008

There were no written instructions, just a picture diagram, without any suggested order or sequencing. It takes quite a while to assemble. The worst thing is that the grips for the push up bars do not fit, cannot be pulled on, and had to be cut to get them on.
It is heavy, so it arrived scratched in places, with a damaged box. Even though the touch-up paint will cover the scratches, they are visible. However, for the price, it is a nice piece for a home gym. It rocks a bit, but doesn't feel unstable, when doing chin ups. We will still put it to good use.
