Product arrived in a timely manner, box was damaged/wet (through no fault of seller) but was packaged well enough that there wasn't any damage inside. Assembly took 1 1/2 hours working solo. Hardware is well marked and directions aren't perfect, but simple enough to follow. I am 225 lbs and have full confidence that this unit can support my weight and will last for years.

Play Video I purchased and received the assist version of SportsRoyals power tower on Dec 16, 2023. I’m am writing this review 2 weeks after I assembled and started using it. Before purchase I had read most of the recent and top rated reviews and found them very insightful. But, I also noticed opinions varied based on expectation, fitness routine and stature. so, this is my 6 foot 225 pound moderately active opinion. The shipping box looked smaller than expected and weighted 86 pounds. The contents were tightly and securely packed. There is no user guide, and what many people have reported as terrible assembly instructions is really an exploded view of components. So, it helps with assembly but not well. I struggled until I realized the manufacture put an assembly video on Amazon. Short and not perfect but, using it in conjunction with the so-called assembly instructions, it was understandable. From the time I moved the shipping box into the house, assembled and cleaned up afterwards 4 hours had passed. I took my time, made no mistakes and used every part and fastener supplied. I’d call success. When looking at pictures that some reviewers have submitted, I noticed equipment structure was not always of the same design. Those reporting the most shake or flex where made with round tubular steel frames. Strong but hard to attach support arms to. The one pictured and I received was made with squared tubular steel and has an “H” style base. Not the triangular base some pictures show. Guessing the manufacture has recently re-designed the tower to address stability (Shake and Flex). The Amazon site says the tower supports 440 pounds, however, the so-called assembly instruction states 330 pounds. Could it be the result of the re-design? I can confirm that the top pull-up bar connection does creak under my weight as reported, but it doesn’t bother me or seem excessive or dangerous. I included a video. Notice there is minimal flexing. A result of the squared tubular steel I suspect. The steel is thinner than I expected which became noticeable during assembly. Do not tighten the bolts beyond tightly snug or the tubular steel will start to buckle-in. To be fair I have a tendency to over torque everything. I compared this tower with the commercial brand Hoist. There is no comparison in quality. The Hoist is many times stronger but also many times more expensive. Actually 4 times more with no assist. The questions is, when is strong, strong enough. The SportRoyal would never hold up in a commercial fitness center. But probably good enough for my home gym. I needed the pull-up assist to get my muscles started, and it functions as others have said. Not the smoothest movement but, it does what it’s meant to do. However, the seat is completely and totally in the wrong position for assisted dips. Online specifications say each of the 4 assist bands is 22 Lbs, 88 total. I tested this by placing two 45 pound weight lifting plates on the seat. This 90 pounds lowered the seat 75% of the way down. Removing 1 plate, 45 Lbs, raised the seat 75% of the way back up. So, I would call this spec accurate and not bad for functioning with bungees. Prior to purchase I could not figure out how the assist seat converted to a back support. So, I included the change-over in the video. Easy to do after a couple of tries. The manufacturer must have been concerned that the pulleys on the assisted seat bungee system would bottom out and get damaged. So, they included what they’re calling an anti-crash support. A rod that stick up from the H base frame. I included it in the video. Easy to remove or install but very dangerous. If you forget to remove it and you lose grip when the seat is in the backrest position, you could impaled yourself. In conclusion: The manufacturer designed a functional and well thought out power tower that gives me the exercises I wanted, accept for assisted dips. The build quality is consistent with what I expected for home equipment. The relatively low cost and light weight allowed me to try, lift and afford the purchase. I don’t expect the assist bungee system to last forever, but, it should last long enough until I don’t need it anymore. There are no other low cost towers with assist that I could find. Yes the top pull-up bar can be set at several heights but don’t expect it to be a regular adjustment, it’s too difficult for that. Also, the assisted seat travel length is fixed which makes the pull-up bar height dependent on it. All-in-all I would purchase this power tower again.

Overall a decent product at a fair price. The assembly wasn't overly complicated, it really just takes a bit of time. It does take a bit of time just to unpack everything, One nice plus is that the assembly kit (nuts, screws, washers, wrenches, etc.. are nicely sectioned and marked - could be a bit more clearly marked but marked just the same. The instructions that come with the item are decent but could be a bit more clearly written. Use this as a secondary set of instructions. The assembly video that's on the Amazon product page is very good. I found myself coming back to it a few times as I was finishing the assembly. Use the video as your primary installation guide. I've heard mentioned there various flavors of this item (i.e. some with square tubing and others with round). The on I received is the square tubing. I do wish the metal a was bit thicker and heavier. I also wish the pull-up bar itself was a lot thicker. However, I see myself upgrading this to a more commercial grade version of this without the assist. But will keep it as another piece of equipment as part of my home gym. It was nice that assembly kit was packaged and sectioned nicely. However, there were a couple screws that were damaged. I contacted Amazon Customer Service to see if they could help. They tried but very options. I was still able to complete the assembly but I'll have to search Home Depot for replacement hardware. I'd also like to find replacement bands for it, just as a backup, just in case. Overall, a decent product for the price. Is it perfect - No. Can and will it do the job to help with strength training and help you (me) get to better pull-ups - Yes.

Well engineered. Very sturdy. Easy to assemble. There is one in the gym but having one at home allows us to use it anytime of day. It is really heavy and Prime shippe it to Hawaii.

We bought this for our home gym and can’t believe how great of a deal it was! It’s incredibly sturdy and well made with several exercises you can do with it to increase your core and upper body strength. My husband put it together in around 20 mins. Highly recommend.

I recently added this power tower to my home gym, and I am absolutely thrilled with its performance and versatility! The build quality is top-notch, with sturdy construction and solid materials that make it feel extremely durable. Assembly was straightforward, and it feels very stable even during intense workouts. The range of exercises you can do on this is impressive – from pull-ups and chin-ups to dips, leg raises, and push-ups. It’s a complete workout station in one compact unit. The padding on the armrests and backrest is comfortable and well-placed, making exercises like knee raises easy on the body. I especially appreciate the multiple grip positions for pull-ups, which allow for variation and help target different muscle groups. One of the best things about this power tower is how much space it saves. It's perfect for smaller home gyms or even living rooms, yet it offers all the functions of larger gym equipment. It’s great for building upper body strength and core stability without needing a ton of different machines. Overall, I highly recommend this power tower for anyone looking to improve their fitness at home. It's durable, versatile, and delivers a great workout every time!

Ich bin positiv überrascht wie hochwertig der Tower für den günstigen Preis ist. War super verpackt (Die Schrauben fast zu gut eingeschweißt). Sogar das mitgelieferte Werkzeug war sinnvoll und brauchbar. Die Aufbauanleitung ist gut verständlich und leicht unsetzbar. Alles wie im Angebot beschrieben. Diese Klimmzugstange kann ich wirklich für diesen günstigen Preis weiterempfehlen. Ich bin froh das ich nicht die allergünstigste Klimmzugstange gekauft hab. Hier haben sich ein paar Euro mehr echt gelohnt.

Super, j'en ai rêvé longtemps. Matériel de qualité

Fácil de montar, resistente y bien diseñada. Para una persona de mi peso (74kg) no es ningún problema. Espero que dure mucho tiempo

Good quality, easy to assemble. No problems. Seems sturdy enough.
