"Well built, great price, and as long as you don't mind breaking out the tool box you're a happy camper.
Not kidding on the well built part. When you weight 230 lbs everything shakes just a little. This thing holds me just fine. I would recommend it to anyone.
You will need a taller ceiling though for room when you get to the top of the pull-up."

Who would have thought..., June 28, 2008
By Will0316 from Savannah, Ga

"My Tower arrived via UPS and was delivered to my door. In one short month I have lost 11 pounds and 1% body fat. Who needs to spend thousands of dollars when a little effort will do just as much!! I Love it!"

"I was a little disappointed with this tower as it is unstable and prone to rocking. I bought it primarily for the chin up bar, but I am too scared of movement to really attempt them. It is bulky and not well made."

"THE STRENGTH TRAINER IS A GREAT PRODUCT. IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME THING THAT MY GYM HAS. THE PULLUP BAR, DIP HANDLES, AND PUSHUP HANDLES ALL HAVE RUBBER COATING FOR BETTER GRIP. ASSEMBLY TOOK ABOUT 20 MINUTES, AND YOU'LL NEED TWO WRENCHES (15MM). THE ONLY PROBLEM I CAN SEE WITH THE PRODUCT IS THAT THE STABILIZING BAR CAN HIT YOUR HEAD WHEN DOING PUSHUPS. HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD ONLY BE AN ISSUE IF YOU'RE OVER 6 FEET TALL."

"First off, I could not believe how fast the shipping was for this item. I figured with $2.50 shipping and the weight of the item, it would be forever before it got here. About four days after ordering, it was here. As for the tower, it is a great piece of equipment. The only fall back is the direction of the push up bars. If they were turned the other way, they could actually be used. With the way that they are, you'd smack your face into the support bar if you used them. Otherwise, everything else is great and it's a sturdy piece of equipment."

"When delivered the box was all broken but luckily all the parts were included. It is pretty easy to assemble following the instructions. It took about 15-20 minutes since you have to assemble it all without tighten the screws first then ones is all put together you go back and re tight again. The machine is very sturdy and handles well. Great piece we are very happy with the quality!"

"I found the equipment very easy to assemble and overall very good for the price. Looks and feels very strong... good materials and very well finished. The only cheap part of it are the arm rests (the cushion are to thin).
It took me 20 minutes to put it together and I got it just 3 days after I order it.... very fast shipping!"

"I've been looking for one of these for a few months and found them either to be poorly build and/or expensive. Then I had to factor shipping because I am not local to anywhere. I saw this one and the price was unbeatable especially with Overstock's 2.95 s&h. I got the item in 5 business days. The box was a little beat up but after a careful inventory of the parts list nothing was missing. I put the tower together in about 45min. The directions are not very clear but if you look at the picture and have seen one before it is not too difficult to figure out which parts go where. I will say it was the BEST as far as labeling the dumb bolts washers and that thing you never know what it goes to. I would not call the equipment gym quality but it holds me very well and doesnt wobble. I weigh almost 200lbs and use it "vigorously". The padding on the arms and grips is adequate and comfortable. Overall I am very satisfied with this product."

"This item shipped quite quickly which was great. The information stated that a shipping company would be calling to arrange delivery, however, I got home and found it laying on my porch in a snow storm. I am a single woman 5' 2", and not a body builder so trying to lug this 180lb ungainly and raggedy box into the house was not an easy chore. The box was pretty beat up and busted open so I was worried that parts may have fallen out, I quickly went through the inventory listing and it all appears to be there. The assembly is a little intimidating at first and I still have not completed it fully as I need some help as it takes two to put this together. However the craftsmenship appears to be well done. I would refer this product and company to others. The Shipping was the only bad thing about this purchase."

Good Product, bad parts dept., July 6, 2007
By AaronS from La Grange Park, IL

"After receiving the Strength Tower (in a timely manner) I proceeded with assembly when I noticed no instructions were enclosed in the horribly packed box, not a big deal, I downloaded them from the manufacturers website. Then after 80% completion I noticed a missing part. A support bar which I was told was on backorder after calling and that the correct part would be sent as soon as possible. The next business day I called Overstock with the issue and after almost another week and a half of waiting I was sent the wrong part. I called again and then faxed a description, a picture and given the item number as described by the manual to get the right part, and after all of that I was finally able to to fully assemble the product after two days short of a complete month of originally ordering the equipment. I was quite frustrated with the experience, but the quality and sturdy structure of the product outweighed my experience."
