The power tower was easy to assemble and looks nice. It matches my other marcy equipment well. The build is not overly sturdy, I weigh 150lbs and there is a fair amount of flex in the frame while doing dips and chinups. There is no step on the chinup side so if your not tall enough to reach the bar you will need a stool. Im 5 feet 6 inches and could jump to reach the bar but the flex in the frame make that not a safe option. Also, the back pad is very close to the line required to do a chinup. I am thin and have a sometimes bump the frame on my chest/stomach - unfortunately I am more focused on not touching the pad rather than focusing on my chinup. You can see in the product video they never show that part while demonstrating chinups. Other than that it is an OK product however I did expect a bit more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Marcy Power Tower TC-3515 Assembly: Illustrated diagrams are not as clear as they should be. Piece number 2 in the instructions doesn't match the actual part. Page 3 shows only one of bolt 19 going into the bottom but it means for there to be two. Instructions for tightening the nuts / bolts should be more clear rather than just a picture of a crescent wrench and Allen wrench On page 5, the nuts connecting to bolts (19) are instructed to go on the outside of the frame, but on pages 6 and 7 it instructs them to be on the inside. The bolts, washers, and caps that are shown on page 8 should be done before the pieces (6) are installed on page 4. It's very difficult to install the bar and bolts during this step. The caps are shown in the picture on page 8 but are not in the list of items used at the top of the page. Assembly of the foam pads on page 9 should be done before the pieces are put onto the rest of the frame. It would make the assembly of the pads much easier. Usage: Dips feel comfortable while using this. You can feel the frame of it flexing, but it still feels sturdy. Pull-ups and Chin-ups are fine but the frame flexes quite a bit when performing the action. Leg raises feel very sturdy and can't feel the frame flexing while performing. Overall the operation is good. Adding weight to the exercises might cause some concern depending on how much the person weighs plus the added weight.

Not only is there probably 62 pieces total, but you will also need help at a certain time to put it together. I also didn't realize how unworked my core really is. I've played with this a the gym, but boy, just being able to get on it and doing a few crunches, really tells you how much you really need this. I have now incorporated this into my workout routine. I love it, you will to, it is well made, weights about 75-80 lbs when fully completed. It is built strong, tall and stable. Try it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have added this to my home gym. It was not too bad to assemble. Took some time but everything lined up really well. I recommend a 5/8" socket wrench though. Will make it a lot easier on you. The hardware was nicely packaged and numbered. Since the directions do not have any words you need to be able to look at a drawing and determine what to do. Seems to be very sturdy too. I did pullups, dips and leg ups and it was very still. Doesn't feel shaky at all. It is a perfect addition for me. I have a small bench, some dumbbells and a treadmill in my dining room and it fits perfectly.

I liked it but I’m a woman and I think that’s why the pads you place your arms to do a hanging leg raise (to work your core) were too far apart making it awkwardly uncomfortable to stay up, and this was my favorite thing to do at the gym but the gyms was not as widely placed. I gave it to my son and he loves it! I would definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a well built and heavy duty piece of exercise equipment that uses your body weight as resistance. I was somewhat surprised that, although it includes an owner's and an assembly manual, I did not find literature on how to use the apparatus. Luckily, I googled it, and push-ups on the lower struts and mid arm bars, leg lifts on the mid pads and pull-ups on the upper bar were demonstrated. I was disappointed that there are no adjustments available which will negatively impact some folks. Be aware that this equipment stands over 7 feet tall and will need additional headroom to do pull-ups.
