Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I received the rower in 4 business days and it was packaged to ensure no damage during shipment. It took me about 40 minutes and the instructions were clear and parts were numbered making it very easy. The only part that confused me for a couple of minutes was having to put the two large bolts in the bottom holes for the foot pads, and the other two bolts hold the foot pad in the top holes. The foot pad just rests on the bottom two bolts. The quality is good and the seat and pulling action is smooth and quiet. It folds up with little effort and takes up little space, which for me is important since I don't have a lot of room. I rowed for 20 minutes for my first workout and it got my heart rate up and I could feel my arms and back muscles working. The foot pads keep my feet secure and the velcro is strong so there was no issue of having to stop during the workout. I am using it on carpet and it doesn't woggle at all. I tried the exercises like bicep curls and upright rows, and it will be great to have another way to weightlift. The console works and for me I am interested mainly in rowing for cardio so probably won't connect it to my phone. The seat is firm so I will need to get a cushion for it. Probably any seat is going to get uncomfortable the longer a person rows. I feel this is a quality rower for the price and I am happy with the purchase.
