from what I can tell this stand be a solid piece of equipment . my only problem be I can not put it together . nautilus send you these screw which they apparently expect you to be able to tighten with a hex screw . one a piece of equipment like this that you really want to make sure the screw be tight - it be impossible to get these thing on . I have hurt my hand several time try to tighten these thing . as it be now - the stand wobble back and forth . you would think they would know this be a BIG problem and would use REGULAR bolt or screw !! until I receive some new screw from Bowflex - I can not and would not recommend anyone buy this product . oh yes - like everyone else have say - the instruction manuel be AWFUL !!!
