Purchased online and shipped within one week! One of three boxes arrived damaged, but pieces weren't damaged due to open box. Some pieces were damaged (i.e. chipped paint/chrome) due to movement inside boxes. All pieces were accounted for. It took a day to assemble...read the other reviews - this does take some effort, especially if you don't have a 2nd set of hands. Once assembled, it does everything it claims. I exercise 5 times a week, and it handles most everything i do in the gym. The exceptions are various exercises with dumbbells. It is very sturdy; cannot be toppled or raised. The smith bar is perfect for exercises without a spotter - great safety features. My complaints are few: bar isn't marked for hand spacing, the olympic-sized sleeves are plastic which will eventually wear out as weights are dragged on and off, there aren't bearings on the overhead cable crossover swivel-joints, and doing exercizes with one overhead crossover pulley (like tricep extensions) are akward since they are positioned directly over the legs/feet of the cage. Pros: All the pulleys have bearings, the linear bearings on the smith bar rock, the cage will accept standard olympic bar with adjustable brackets, decent leg exercizes - though the pads could be more dense, it has all the accessories for standing and sitting exersizes, preacher curls are excellent, chest/pec flies are at the correct angle, squats and rows work great, and its very safe...safety catches and locks are a must. It does take floor space, so plan for an area of approx 9' x 9' to have clearance all the way around.

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.

I have never put together anything that had this level of organization with the supplies. Each set of washers/nuts/screws etc has its own numbering and correlates to what step it goes with. You know when to go to next step easily. That alone was 5 stars, but I love the machine. We put it together last night and tried a few exercises to check it out. So far so good. Excited to use it!

One of the top Rated home gyms and I see why. Heavy duty construction, easy to use stations, and overall function. One workout in and ready for another. Take your time during installation. Separate all parts for easy identification. I used a large table for small parts, bolts, etc. Put it together myself but it would have gone quicker with help. Make sure to keep all bolts loose until complete.

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!

Great value for a good entry level Smith Machine. Instructions for assembly could be improved somewhat but overall not too bad. There is only one minor issue I have and the is the plastic leg caps on the bench keep coming off when moving around the bench, going to need to put some Gorilla Glue to keep them in place. And the spring clamps that come with it are small so I had to buy larger ones that are easier to put on and remove.

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

Overall, this is a decent machine for a home gym. However, it is built for someone that is 5 ft 5 inches or taller. I cant use the leg extension because it doesnt adjust for height/leg length. This is very disappointing: definitely not a machine that is designed with a womens frame in mind. Additionally, the parts stick often, so lubricant is needed to keep weights moving smoothly. Worth the money if you are looking for a home gym system that is comparable to what youd find in a big box gym.

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.

After reading all the reviews I decided to go with this machine, and i'm glad I did. I thought it would be difficult to put together, but it wasn't too hard. Took me about 8hrs. Parts were easy to find and everything was easy to id. After you understand the format of the instruction evrything just flows toghther. Was missing one part. I callled the company and had it delivered to my house in two days. Was able to assemble everthing without the missing part. After using it for about a week very impress. Can go from on station to another effortlessly. Can bench press, arm curl and lat pull downs witout moving weight or adjusting the machine. Safty. Can left, and squat with or without a spotter. So my teenage son can workout by himself. Also can store weights and bar. VERY NICE MACHINE!!
