I actually purchase the home gym package c directly from powerblock and not the product show here . the gym package consist of the 5-90 elite dumbell , the stand and a weight bench . these item be ship promptly in six seperate package . the stand and weight bench require a little assembly , but nothing too drastic . the stand be a little bit of a hassle as there be a number of small screw and nut and that have to be put in . the bench be mostly pre-assembled , but have a couple part that have to be put in . i highly recommend get the stand . not only be it a great place to store the dumbell , but it make change the weight much easier . change the amount of weight be very easy , and just involve pull the `` pin '' out and slide it in to select the desire weight . the dumbell be color code , so you can quickly see the amount of weight you be choose . use the `` pin , '' the weight be change in ten pound increment . there be `` adder weight '' that come with the elite set , each of which be 2.5 pound . if you use the adder weight , you can change the amount of weight in 5 pound increment . however , the adder weight take a little longer to manipulate as you have to pull the central core out and slide the weight out . i can change the weight use the pin in literally 2 seconds . however , the adder weight take about 10 seconds to change . i have decide to just keep the adder weight in the weight and not change they out . i be find just change the amount of weight in 10 pound increment . one other thing about these weight . when i first get they and set they up , i be not put the adder weight in correctly -lrb- it be a long story , but essentially i put one of the core in upside down , cause the adder weight to slide out when i do not want they to -rrb- . i call customer support and someone answer on about the third ring . there be no voice mail and no wait while i listen to elevator music . i ask to talk to someone in technical support , and the guy that answer tell I he could help I . he be very helpful and we work through the problem -lrb- which have be my fault in the first place -rrb- . this be probably the best technical support i have experience and mile above the usual support i recieve for computer software\/products . in short , i be very happy with my purchase . this be a high quality product make in the USA . i be go to get a lot of use out of these and expect to use they for the rest of my life . they seem to take a lot of pride in what they produce . highly recommend ...
