Assembly was very easy the pulleys should be bearing pulleys the plastic pulleys revolving on a shoulder bolt is a very poor design. The bench looks ok but is lacking several functionality a 45 lb plate gets jammed with the leg extension structure. The installed bar should have a locking feature on the upper structure to allow greater clearance. Please benchmark the bow flex and compare how proper pulleys should work

Shipping was much faster than I expected. Was delivered a little over a week after ordering it. Like many have said it comes on a pallet in 3 boxes. Delivery guy was able to place the pallet in my garage. It is not difficult to assemble at all, just a little time consuming if you do it by yourself like I did which took me a couple of days to do. Solid sturdy product. Just waiting on weights to come through and the home gym will be complete.

This thing has been through nearly daily workouts for 4 years and it's still going strong. It's paid for itself time and time again. This, plus a set of Core Adjustable Dumbbells, 300lb plate set, and some other attachments, and you've got a full on home gym! Such a great deal. Really impressed with it. Bought during COVID and have been so happy.

After a ton of research I settled on the 9010 and it did not disappoint. I was worried about putting it together because of the other reviews but it wasnt a problem at all. It took some time probably 8-10 hours but I spread it over 3 days. Ive used it for several weeks and its everything I could have hoped for.

I saw this marcy machine with the best price from walmart.com, but they did not have it in stock ended up purchasing at sears.com and matching walmart price. After openning all the boxes and spreading out all the parts, read that other people took 2 to 7 plus days to put together and some people just gave up, my family helping with handing me parts and just taking it slow and easy and paying attention, had it done in less then 8 hours, yes the instructions were hard, no part numbers on the parts, but if you go by hawaii standards you will do fine. after putting on weights and using, not bad for a cable machine using free weight plates, very smooth.

Great all around Smith Machine. You can do many different exercises and work most major muscle groups with this system. Nice array of bars come included. I found it mostly easy to put together once I had all of the parts unwrapped and laid out with the exception of the cables which were a bear to figure out. The packaging was good and there was no damage with the exception of one minor scrape. I would like it if the weight pegs were far enough apart to accommodate bumper plates. They arent. I would really, really like it if the bench had wheels so it could be rolled out to be able to get to the seated row foot plate and be able to do shoulder shrugs with the Olympic bar. The weight bench is not on wheels. Overall, I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this product to a friend, however, Id warn them to order rubber coated cast iron plates or iron plates as the pegs dont accommodate bumper plates and let them know that the bench is a bear to move and should be on wheels.

Unlike the previous reviewer; I called the company IMPEX inc. that makes this product and there is a big difference between the model sold by Sears (MD-9010) and the model MD-9010G that is sold by Walmart. The Sears model is the older model that was introduced in 2005. The much cheaper model carried by Walmart is the most current model which comes with a sturdier frame. It is no wonder why Sears was willing to price match an older model to Walmart's current model to clear the shelves for the newer ones.

Overall a quality product! Highly recommend. Was pleasantly surprised how quickly it shipped. Delivery, however, was another story. But that's on the trucking company, not Marcy. It all worked out. As others have said, assembly takes a while and some steps will require two people. There's a YT video that may be helpful. READ all the instructions FIRST, lay out your parts and hardware in an organized fashion, you'll be fine. Overall construction quality is the main reason I didn't give it 5 stars. I had to sand down some welding slag inside the sleeve to get the bar to go through for the Smith Cage. Didn't expect that at this price point. A couple other quick observations after a week of use: For me, the bench is overkill. Very heavy and complex for what it is. I thought I would like the lumbar support for my bad back, but I'm finding it obtrusive. The C clips for attaching the accessories are slow and cumbersome. I'll get some heavy duty carabiners to replace. Pretty satisfied and look forward to many years of use.

Just got to complete the installation, which took me nearly 5-6 hrs. In comparison to other home gym systems I have owned, I must say this one is the very best by far. High quality materials, very sturdy and solid, and I really love the ergonomic support on the lower back of the bench pad. Great versatility, and workout modes are just nothing far from unlimited! I just feel now like I am actually at the gym, but with the convenience of having it in the privacy of my home and not having to wait until someone else gets done using it. Worth every penny. Highly recommended, you wont be disappointed!
