Overall this is decent. It is not converging which isn’t ideal and the foot assist is a bit awkward. Good adjustability with the handles. Build quality seems pretty good.

I’ve had this for several weeks now. I have to say I’m very happy I went with this and my shoulder even more. Compact, sturdy, and the depth is fantastic. All around fantastic choice and only some minor gripes.
First, I ordered the day they dropped but knowing I would be traveling soon, I put in the order notes to delay shipping till the first of August. A minor delay but it was ignored and not even a call. Fortunately it is only a day away in Chicago so I had it the day before I was leaving town. Side note on the Chicago location, they do offer a 10% discount for pickup!
Second minor gripe is they could improve the directions a little bit. Such as that the band pegs on the base should be the first step!!! Next, it would help if they had a simple life size image of the washers just to make identification that much easier. Bolt ID was much easier if you’re used to metric bolt sizing. Thirdly, the required tools isn’t totally correct. You’ll need an 18mm wrench or socket as well. I suggest a good adjustable wrench is helpful too if you don’t want to invest in a larger wrench/socket set. Lastly a couple design oversights. The little heel/bar catch assembly is missing something around the upper crossmember to prevent kicking the catch bar into the crossmember causing metal to metal contact (gorilla tape for now). Also the emergency catch bumper is a joke and nothing more than a soft bump cap.
On to a few helpful notes. It will really be best to have a second person for the first few steps as it would be difficult to hold up the arms while bolting the base pieces together. After that, it can be a one person job to finish.
The starting weight un-banded is about 30lbs and drops off for sure. Approx 10 or so pounds. Putting REP red bands on pushes it to around 40lbs and holds much better to around 37ish. This was just with a simple weight scale and there is fluctuation but the 5-35lb bands really help even it out.
