 Impressed Dec 24, 2009
By Greg
I just purchased this cable crossover, because I have a fitness book nearly dedicated to crossover excercises. $400 plus free shipping did not make me think that I was going to get a high quality piece of equipment. However, I have been impressed with the quality. Metal is machined well with nice edges and operation of the equipment is smooth. The only complaint that I have is the lack of setup directions. I could not find any in the box nor on the internet, so we put it together based on the picture and diagram. We did not have any major problems putting it together. I have not had it long but think I definitely got what I paid for.

 Not bad for the price! Oct 28, 2010
By JP
The boxes arrived torn and banged up but arrived much faster than expected. I would give this product 5 stars BUT the instructions that I assume should of been in the box weren't. I only had a deconstructed view of the product as if it was coming together. Luckily, I've played enough Tetris in my life to figure out the scheme. Also, if you use olympic weights, you need to purchase the the adapter to hold the weight. 4 Stars.

Excellent product, great price, fast shipping! Mar 26, 2011
By C. Tuggle
I've had this about a month now, so I think it's time for a review!
Shipping: Most definitely 5 stars, ordered on a Friday I think, expected arrival date was the following Friday, came in on Thursday, a day ahead of schedule. And was FREE shipping.
Assembly: 3/5 stars on this. It wouldn't be hard to put together if the company would actually put some ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS with it. It blows my mind a company the size of Powerline/Body Solid would put a product like this out with only a diagram. I had to go back several steps a few times, taking about half what I had put together back apart because I missed putting something on since I had no clue as to what order to do it all. Did it all myself, but it would've been much quicker with a partner.
Use: 5/5 stars! My workouts have went through the roof since I got this :) You can really hit ever bodypart with this baby. You'll need to get some extra attachments though, I'd suggest a pulldown bar, 20" rotating bar, row handle and a rope at least. The included handles aren't all that comfortable, either, I'll probably be getting a pair of d-handles soon. I've had about 240 pounds on one side doing shrugs and it didn't seem to phase it.
Overall I can't recommend this highly enough! I call it a must-have for any home gym!!

more than I expected May 05, 2012
By mike
I think the other reviews beat it into our heads that there are no instruction for this machine so all i'll say about that is it wasn't that hard to figure out just by using the pictue. The machine itself is pretty sturdy. I didn't expect that from the price. Although it isn't commercial quality it's not like 1000 different people will be putting wear and tear on it. The handles that come with it aren't the best so I picked up some better quality ones and it does come with an ankle strap which is fine. Also if you have olympic weights you will need the adapter for it. The weights will fit just not securly. It also came with a silcone spray which is needed to lube up the bars for the moving piece. Overall I am very pleased with this product and would buy it again. The only bad thing I can say about it is that the pulleys do not adjust up and down, but I knew that before I bought it. I hope this review helped.
Thanks

Excellent addition to home gym Mar 23, 2011
By funkrew
This is a well-designed piece of equipment for a home gym. It is my second one (sold the first due to a move out-of-state). The price via Amazon cannot be beat and delivery was expedient and without damage.
I highly recommend it to the serious, intelligent fitness enthusiast. It is designed for standard weight plates but of course can be adapted to the larger center hole olympic plates.
That said, there are no assembly instructions with this item! You get a parts list and a labeled illustration of the unit assembled. Beware that assembly requires planning and an assistant or it could become a drawn-out painful exercise in frustration putting it together! My assembly time ran over two hours due to errors in the sequence of assembly and doing it solo. FYI: It comes with a can of spray lubricant but no instructions for where lubricant needs to be applied.
Warnings: The opportunity for injury is high if mis-used (read "not for unsupervised children or the careless"). Proper body positioning when using it is also critical. Unsecured to the floor or wall it is very stable and smooth operating (assembled correctly), however, standing too far forward of or behind the overhead support while invoking the upper pulleys greatly increases the risk of pulling the machine over - ouch-time!
