(More customer reviews)I purchased this piece of equipment nearly 4 years ago with the option of a larger weight stack. Let me just say: The flexibility of this piece of equipment is wonderful. It's sturdy (no shake) and has taken some real abuse. The center pull-up bar is solid. The cable columns are smooth. The side adjustability accommodates most exercises... that being said I have found at times that I wish the unit was taller (providing a higher top angle and also allowing the user to stand further away from the machine). I find, sometimes, that I need to step too far away from the machine to achieve a certain angle and that causes the weight stack to hit the top of the cable column during the exercise.... the remedy is to alter the angle/get closer to the machine. Not a huge deal though, considering the equipment is in my house!!! A note about the weight stack: it lifts lighter than one might think. There are add-on weights, however you can forget pulling down large amounts of weight (even if the weight stack numbers correspond to what you might be used-to at the gym. However, I have found a way around this problem by connecting a high-weight rated chain between the two cable columns. This provides an excellent lift assist for pull-ups (if needed) and allows me to tap into the weight of both stacks... of course only do something like this at your own risk - I'm sure the manufacturer wouldn't recommend it. Also, I use a chained weight belt (to hold plates) for heavier pull-ups.
At any rate, and the risk of rambling, if you are looking for a versatile cable column... definitely give this one consideration. I've found it to be a great piece of equipment and a center piece of my home gym.
