CAP Bench Vkr Tower Black/ Red

This is a great tower. The images are correct and it is as shown. The assembly was a piece of cake taking about than 15 minutes. The tower is quite stable with minor flexing from side to side as the post bolt holes are slightly larger than the bolts but it's not that big of a deal to me. So far I'm very happy with this tower.A couple notes:The tower in the leg raise position is around 5'10" in height.With the arms extended in the pull up position the height is around 7'4"

The product was generally as pictured. However, one of the foam cushions/padding was missing. Also, the tower is a little uncomfortable for someone at least 5'4" and under as mentioned in another review. Any thoughts on how to receive the other cushion or a substitute therefor would be appreciated.

Destroyed during shipping.This was shipped quickly and actually arrived a day early. I was really disappointed to see that the box was completely destroyed during shipping, big gaping holes and tears in the cardboard; it was clear to see that it was not the shippers fault. There was no Styrofoam used to pack all of these metal pieces together. The package was 70 pounds with large loose metal bars falling and grinding against one another during shipping. The hardware package was shredded, with screws all over the box and 4 missing, paint had been chipped off all over several of the pieces due to the friction with other pieces in the box, and one of the arm pads was gashed open i assume from one of the sharp metal corners flopping around loosely in the packaging.The unit itself once assembled is sturdy-ish, I'm about 210 pounds and when i hang weight off my belt and do dips the bar sags pretty good, if it holds up I'm ok with this flexing but I worry it might affect the product lifetime. The posts slide back and forth on the base quite a bit, which is an annoyance.It is also super tall, which is not a big deal for me since I'm 6'2", but when doing dips I have to duck my head or I hit it on my 8 foot ceiling in my basement. I imagine it would be tough for a shorter person to get up into position.If it wouldn't be such a hassle to ship back I would definitely return it, but I would rather just start using it even with some of the defects I listed.

Cheaply made. I took my time assembling it, and it went together alright, but you can really tell it was made in China; the supplied washers are paper -thin, and seriously inadequate in outer diameter (and thickness). The forearm cushions are ridiculously cheap; one of them split open INSTANTLY when I tried the machine. *Immediately* - and I hadn't even made any movements! Also the handgrips on the push-up handles are split right out of the box, and one of the two square plastic end caps (at front - floor level) is also defective (these should have been rubber or much thicker plastic) The steel used to manufacture the chassis is really thin; the square or rectangular tubing through which you pass the assembly bolts begins to *crush* as you tighten the bolts. I fully expect a catastrophic failure very early in the life of this unit. Absolutely not worth the money.

For the money it works well. Could be a little sturdier but I have had no issues since I've started using it, and now trust that I won't have any issues. It is extremely easy to put together with decent instructions to follow.

easy to put together and works well

Some minor parts were damaged when opening. Not too bad of a product but I mainly purchased for dips and the tower does not remain to stable for such.

Tried to assemble and parts do not fit together properly so bench feels wobbly. I know it is inexpensive but I would expect that it be manufactured well enough that it can be securely assembled. I feel it is unsafe to use given how heavy and wobbly it is. Will be returning it. Price too good to be true unfortunately.
