the Bowflex dumbell stand be heavy-duty and go together perfectly . I have put together a ton of equipment , furniture , tool , etc. , through the year and have never find any instruction as clear and correct , just spot-on , as Bowflex provide . the bolt , nut , and washer be all blister pack and clearly label and every page of the instruction have a silouhette of the bolt , nut , and washer need for that step . the stand be make of heavy guage metal and could not be more sturdy . I highly recommend the stand with the dumbbell , it make they accessible and easy to use and definitely save you back versus pick the dumbbell off the ground each time .
