I’ve owned the Tandem Tower for two months now, and it’s awesome. Everything came clearly labeled, and the assembly instructions were easy to follow. I was able to build it by myself in about 2.5 hours. The cable and pulley system makes for a very smooth pull. The adjustments on the arms allow me to do pretty much any cable exercise I want. I have the 200-pound weight stack, and being able to connect the arms and use the stack at a 1:1 ratio provides more than enough weight for pretty much any cable exercise. I also added a lat pulldown seat from Amazon, and lat pulldowns feel great. At 6’4”, I’m just barely able to get a full stretch, but it works well, and I wouldn’t want to make the tower any taller. The build quality is excellent. I didn’t bolt it down, and it hasn’t moved at all. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the Tandem Tower and would definitely recommend it.

This dumbbell rack was the perfect solution for my home gym. It's rated to hold 800 pounds, but like many weight benches, it can handle more than its listed capacity. I currently have 1,050 pounds of dumbbells on mine, and it feels rock solid. The 100-pound dumbbells cause a slight amount of flex, but it's minimal and not concerning at all.

The bench is solid. The pad is a little softer than what you get from Rep or Rogue but is still grippy. A great flat bench for the price.

I have had these plates for 5 years and they still look great. The thick handles make them easy to handle.
