I rescued the bones of mine from the dumpster so I don’t have an idea on original price. But for me, working with body solid to get the parts was a breeze. They had wonderful customer service and had free part shipping only cost me the price of parts. Was super easy to assemble using their guide. Can be a bit of a pain to adjust if you’re a bigger guy (I’m 6’2”) but beats the hell out of trying to rig up an ankle cuff and bench on my titan tower. Overall I’m pleased and upgrading it would be a low priority for me unless I hit the lottery.
