STOTT PILATES Split-Pedal Stability Chair with Handles

Misprint! It is black, not dark grey, which I was thrilled about. I wanted black but due to the sale, I was going to get gray. When I called the company, they do not have a dark grey. They have a light gray with is Gun Metal. I was so happy when it came and was black.I had to take it upstairs, so I took all the individual pieces upstairs one by one, due to box being very heavy. If you were to get from the competing company, it comes put together and close to 100 lbs, so that was not an option for me unless I wanted to pay for freight and service and order directly from them.You need to be very organized when putting this together, as it is easy to get bolts mixed up. If I was to do it again, I would write the part numbers printed in booklet on the bags and not open them until I was ready for the specific task. The wood is soft and will gouge easily, so be careful. Get your own wrenches out. It will be easier. Do as they say, do not tighten anything until everything is together. You may need to pull up on sides or shake a bit to get some bolts in and if you have tighten things, some may not go into the predrilled holes. DO NOT POUND OR TAP THE CARRIAGE BOLTS INTO THE HOLES!. When you tighten the nuts, they will pull into the holes by themselves, nicely. Someone said to use a piece of wood over them, to tap into the holes. Not needed.Use both the written directions and watch the YouTube video while doing. It is helpful to see what the written directions are not clear on. Watch a few times and follow with booklet, before you start.Due to helpful reviews from other people, I knew what to expect and was organized.The box is about 10-12' wide and about 3'x3'. 80+ lbs. It was well protected and packaged well.Take pictures of box before you bring it in the house if there are any issues.With all of that said, it came together perfectly, no damage in shipping, two men carried it to my entry. Delivered on time. Perfect transaction and product. I called and spoke to the company about some customer concerns re: customer service. They assured me, there would not be any issues and gave me an agent name to call directly if there was. The agent was actually surprised. He has been there close to 20 years and has not experienced that. I am going to call him today, as I did not get the DVD but I am sure he will send it out.Buy this with confidence. I am really glad I did.

Love this stability chair! I have some mobility issues and being able to have one of these at home makes all the difference. This was a good price for the chair, it’s extremely well built and was delivered efficiently. We used the link that came with it to assist in putting together. It went well. Good purchase.

The chair is awesome! Just be prepared to assemble with terrible instructions! The numbers and letters don’t match with the screw and parts so you’ll need the manual and pictures and some ingenuity to put this bad boy together. But it’s great once you make it through. It took three of us to figure it out!

First of all it weighs a ton and once I got it all unboxed found that the screw holes on one side panel didn’t line up. Couldn’t be assembled as instructed. They also didn’t include the correct number of 2” bolts to attach even if the holes did line up. It was difficult to put back in the box to return to top it off.

Great piece of equipment. Gave it three stars because mine didn’t come with any fastenings. That’s what the Canadian customer service rep called, nuts. Don’t bother using the instructions, nuts and bolts labeled differently. Definitely need a drill to tighten the carriage bolts. I’m very handy. Not sure someone who isn’t, could have put it together. By the looks of it, should have been quick and easy. Hopefully my workouts will be so terrific, I’ll forget the bad start.

When I ordered, I selected to have the chair assembled for me at my home. They did a great job! I love this stability chair and find the various exercises wonderful, especially knowing I can increase spring tension for most of them as I progress!

This piece of exercise equipment is worth it's weight in gold. I've been a member of countless gyms and hired many experienced, professional trainers. Not one trainer was EVER able to give a workout like this thing does.When you watch the exercises on their DVD, it 'looks' effortless, but the first rep you are feeling muscles deep in your core/abdomen. Even if your form is not perfect, you feel you muscles can't feel with any machine in the gym or with any weight training.Some reviewers said you needed to have a professional training sessions, but I disagree. The dvd's are pretty good. This isn't hard to do at all. They include 2 instructional DVD's with the Chair, but I purchased several more to make sure I was really understanding it. So worth the money.

screws that came do not matchthe directions and not enough screwsyoutube has a video on how to assemble but that video is 9 years old - apparently they’ve changed the screwsI hope this work or I have to disassemble and send back !
