I love this stand and the dumbbell . I read the review and be prepare for the worst assembly ever , however , I open the instruction book to the diagram page and have the whole thing together within 60 minute . the only thing I have to do be check the three set of four bolt for the proper length and assembly be a breeze . have read a few of the review may have be of help . one thing about the stand be I use the dumbbell on a more regular basis because of it . I think the quality be second to none and recommend this set to everyone . Amazon pull though with three day delivery when I only order standard shipping . I love this company .
