Good quality, good price

Bought this on sale for $499.99 and so far I have no complaints, very good quality and easy enough to install on your own if you are patient. I put this in my basement and needed something that is compact and could fold away so my kid can still play freely. My ceiling height is 92" and I would say that is about as low as you can go, the uprights when installed stand at about 89" tall but you need the extra couple of inches as the uprights lift up slightly in order to pivot them to the folding position. I flipped the chin-up bar upside down and put it in the lowest slot so that there is enough headroom to do a proper pull-up / chin-up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I exactly what I was looking for

Arrived within a few days and was exactly what I was looking for. Very strong and went together well.
Be sure you have the width needed, as it’s a big unit and you need to remember your width of the weight bar as well. Also need lots of ceiling height if going to use pull-up bar.

Installation is easier with two people as the main supports can be awkward until all bolted together. Also , I would suggest mounting in wall 1/4” lower than noted, to ensure full weight if main supports are solidly on the ground and not swinging freely. You can always lift them up with the slight free play in the swinging pins, but you can’t go down lower if need be do to floor imperfections.
Also if you have baseboards at bottom, you may have to “ build out” the top support by the same width to be set up perpendicular for top and bottom. I used 1/2” material between wall and top supports to equalize the bottom Support that went against baseboard. Lag screws are plenty long enough to go through the additional width . Otherwise all very good- took about two hours to assemble by myself. Two people would be easier. I pretty much put it all together on the floor, then simply swung it up ito place, as a previous review suggested. Worked well if you have the room.

Great product and great price

This product is a great upgrade for the workout room. I finally got rid of my old school weight bench. This product makes workouts with weights way more functional and is a huge space saver! Build quality looks real good. I'm sure to get many years of use out of this.
One note, the product height is 6 cm taller than advertised by best buy specs. It is 229cm not 223cm as advertised in best buy specs. Can always trim it down if needed but voids warranty (side grinder).
Setup was pretty easy, just make sure you measure the brackets accurately and you should have no problems. I did see another reviewer mention to put it all together and put it up to the wall to measure but didn't find this necessary. Just follow the instructions in the book for measuring and you should be fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's Good

For what i paid which was well under 500$ the quality is pretty decent, especially when you consider the competition.
My main complaint was going in i didnt know i needed to remove the base boards until after i purchased the unit which is mildy annoying.
Otherwise the installation process is rather simple and can be done properly in a few hours with the right tools.
