John C: Pros:
-The product is sturdy and strong, an unmatched value for the price compared to alternative options
- nice grips and padding, not cheap looking/feeling
-smaller footprint compared to other options. fits neatly in the corner of the room and the product configuration allows a variety of exercises to be performed
Cons:
- The package took a month to arrive and had to be shipped on 3 different occasions because the packaging was damaged- I'm not sure who to blame but this wasn't very good.
- bought a socket set to put together the tower as the provided tools were awful- i think the bolts are 5/8
-directions were terrible, but it is pretty intuitive to get together.
despite these facts, I would still highly rate this product and it was a great deal at $90. I might consider alternative mainstream brands for equipment if the product were priced higher however. for a budget college student buy this item is nice

Holly NelsonHolly Nelson: Construction:
I would consider myself a advanced builder if things lol. This took me around 1hr 45mins to build.
***lots of loose metal shavings in the tubes that will spill all over the floor. Beware and prepared to sweep up.
The directions are super basic and you have to semi determine which bolts go where. All pieces where there and it assembled easily. I would advise grabbing a 17mm socket to speed things up. The armrest and the back support have a seam that should face down and to the back to look better as well.
Pros:
Sturdy, and easy to adjust, comfortable and versatile
Cons: had a cross thread or inadequately threaded hole for 1 quick release. I retreaded it to fix it. Lots of metal shavings in the pieces. Poor directions, the leg bar hit when doing leg raises.

RowdyRowdy: I put it all together without an issue. The instructions on bolts to use for the vertical pieces, that go into bottom of base and middle horizontal braces wasn't clear. There are 8 machine bolts, and 8 carriage bolts, and I used the carriage bolts for bottom of base, that go into the vertical pieces (see screenshot). It seems pretty sturdy, and perfect for the price paid. BTW, after reading comments, I looked at the welding on the two front handles, for doing dips, and the welds on the back of them (top/bottom), doesn't seem to be very good, or shall I say, good enough to make me feel confident it wouldn't come apart at some point, so that is definitely something to keep an eye on/inspect, because you don't want it to break while doing dips etc...

Kindle Customer: I bought this thing mainly to be able to do my favorite exercise in the world, dips. Indeed this machine does allow me to do them and do so comfortably. As far as pull ups go, the bar is very sturdy and the inside grip for chin ups are very soft and comfortable. I've seen many others complain about the comfort of the other hand grips on the dip and wide pull up sections, but I've found no such issues with them and they feel perfectly fine to me. If you are getting this thing to perform leg lifts, just know that this machine is at a perfect 90 degree angle and you will need to train your feet not to hit the back support which is kind of annoying but workable. If that matters to you, you should consider buying another tower that is angled back so your legs can over extend for a fuller range of motion.
Now on to what's in the box and putting this thing together. Everything you've heard about the nuts and bolts is true. The unit was very nicely packaged accept for the nuts and bolts which were not even in a bag, but looked like they were shrink wrapped in a cluster very poorly. Some pieces got loose inside the box and I had to take out all of the pieces just to find everything....

Platyfish: This power tower is a great value at the price I paid. It is sufficiently sturdy, and works great for pull ups, dips, leg lifts, and push ups. It feels completely solid when doing pull ups. There is a little bit of squeaking when doing dips, probably because of a little play in the adjustment mechanism. When stepping up for dips, I have to remember to step on the frame and not the push up handles. The push up handles don't seem designed strong enough to support repeated stepping on. I use it everyday for quick exercises, and so far, it's been dying great for that.
