Good Upper Body Workout
I hit 50 last year, and I have been feeling my age (old body injuries and all), but I refuse to give up. This simple device really works out the upper body, and for the price - it is worth it. At first was able to do 2, but now I am at 10. 35 years ago - my first set was in the 30's, and I think I can reach 20 reps within a few months. And so - I too need to cut down on my carbs. I love my bicycle too, for that sucker does wonders, for I went from 220 lbs to 168 lbs in 1.5 years. I am now 187 lbs (bus driver), and I know I can reach 175 within a few months as well. So here's to our health, and Party On Dudes!

It’s a solid piece of equipment but
if anything’s wrong with it just by pass the 1- 800 number they're Remarkably unhelpful. Just return it to Amazon let them deal with it. The two weak parts of the dip station are the cheap plastic feet made to protect your floors. Mine were cracked and needed replacement. And the foam cover for the handles. Mine were split and they’re very thin. Check the weld also lots of metal rough edges that need to be sanded down to avoid cuts. My advice? Check it all BEFORE assembling. If broken send it back. Cap Barbell charges shipping and handling to fix their screw-ups. Amazon free returns are the best in the business. The picture of the handle's pretty clear but the crack in the plastic foot harder to see. Good luck.

For the price, this is an outstanding piece of equipment.I've been working out steadily for over 35 years now and have gone through my share of exercise equipment. This one is a keeper.It's light enough to move around in my gym but the design means it is very stable when you use it for dips or using the rings for push ups. I'm 6'2 215 pounds and it is perfect.The unit is designed of a moderately heavy gauge steel with some solid bolts. The hand grips are fat enough that you won't get bruises in your palms; the padding or grip material is a little light and will probably wear out after a year or two so you might need to wrap it with some exercise tape.The hand grips are angled outward slightly so it is ergonomically correct for dips. I can dip on this with confidence that it's not going to collapse.

This thing is so cool!
This thing is awesome. I have wanted to go back to the gym, but can't afford it right now, so I got this this workout station so I could exercise at home. There are a ton of exercises that you can do with this. I was hoping to be able to take it to the beach with me, but it is too heavy and bulky to do that, but it doesn't take up too much space in my condo. It is easy to assemble, made from strong, durable material and wilI be a part of my fitness routine for years to come. I am extremely satisfied with this product

Worth every penny
Some reviewers complained this dip station is for short people or is too small. I am 6 feet and it is perfect with bent knees. If it were any taller one would have to jump up to get in to starting or ending position which could place undue stress on the shoulders and could also cause injury if your muscles are blown at the end of the set. This is perfect height to pretty much step into and the spacing bewtween the grips is where it needs to be to avoid hyper extension and injuries. All in all great product at a great price

BLUF: It's OK not great.
The dip station arrived on Monday after being ordered on Saturday. Not the product I know, but the delivery was the most impressive thing. The box was ripped open on both ends. To be fair that is probably UPS' fault. I was worried about missing nuts and bolts. This must be a common occurrence because the company supplied 2 sets of all hardware. So...everything was there but one of the end caps was broken and fell off right out of the box. Because the box was open I made sure to check everything. There was a small dent on one of the uprights. I don't think it'll cause an issue. Just would've been nice to have it NEW not like new.As for how well it works, I am 6' - 250lbs and did several dips and the station did not move at all. Both my sons tried it as well, 6' - 210 and 5'9" -150. It is a little shorter than I hoped for but nothing I can't live with. It comes up to about my waist. My legs are bent when I do dips so not an issue. If I were to try to hang weights it might cause a problem. Bottom line, it'll work for me trying to get in better shape at home. If I was 20-30 years old and really looking to do some weighted dips for work outs, I'd look for something else.

Not Trustworthy
There is something about this contraption that just doesn't feel right. As I get halfway through my dip, I get an impending feeling of doom that it will either collapse or tip over. This could be irrational thinking, but the tool doesn't lend itself to confidence and safety. I have tried on both carpeted and rubber surfaces, but the feeling is the same. That's it! The problem is not in the material, but instead, the construction. To alleviate this, the bottom bar requires lengthening to expand the support and widen the dip path. In the meantime, I may attach a sled to the front and turn it into a toboggan.

UPDATED: All hardware components missing!
It took them two months, but I finally received the missing components. It took about 30 minutes to assemble, might have gone a little faster, but there were no instructions.Overall construction seems good, everything fit as it should and the unit feels solid. I am 6', 220lbs and am able to execute my dips without issue. The unit is stable and does not wobble while performing reps.Despite the long wait for the missing parts, I am glad to have the dip station and look forward to incorporating it into my current block of training.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Buyer Beware!!Seriously, not a single nut or bolt. Plus, it is missing the blue triangle pieces for assemble at the legs!Customer service does not answer the phone "our mail box is full", if this cannot be rectified in a timely manner I will absolutely be returning this thing since it is completely unusable.As of right now, no way I could recommend the product, I can't even put it together to see how it would perform. Disappointing to say the least.

Triangle braces do not match, can not assemble. Grip torn.
There are 4 blue triangle braces that are supposed to be identical. 3 of them are, 1 has the mounting holes offset as per the pictures. Each picture has 2 separate braces (of the 4) to show how they are supposed to line up so that the bolts can go through the holes. The braces with the holes in the wrong location is impossible to put the bolts through, therefor I can not assemble the stand. The grip has a tear in it while still in the packaging. The paint is bubbling on one of the braces. Also some of the washers had been placed inside the sleeves that wrapped the bars instead of inside the actual packaging for the nuts/bolts/washers??

Solid build, good price.
Solid build, good quality material, will last a lifetime I'd think.It was easy to assemble if you follow the instructions and remember that the bottom legs angle outwards when assembling...not inwards.There was a small crack in the left leg, photograph provided, but it's minor and of no concern to me, as it won't affect it's use, however quality control during manufacture should have caught it.I'd give it 5 stars, but the crack lost one star. So 4/5 and I'm still glad I got it.

Worth it
My only beef with this product is the grips. One of mine is a little loose and twists under load. Overall I'm happy I purchased this item. Dips are a mainstay in my training and I'm happy to have this addition to my home equipment. Goes together very easily, took about 10 minutes. I'm not sure how sturdy it will remain as the support plates are quite thin, and mine deformed slightly when tightening the fasteners. If you do dips this product is well worth the price.

Buena calidad - Mal diseño
Necesitas una llave extra para los pernos de seguridad, si no los ajustas exageradamente, hay un juego entre la barra transversal y las paralelas.Me tomó más tiempo ajustar esos 2 tornillos superiores que ensamblar todo, de lo contrario tiene un movimiento como elíptica que no queda parejo con el nivel del piso. Eso se soluciona con que los orificios coincidan con 3 tornillos, no solo con 2.

Cheap, kind of flimsy, and angled grips promote bad form!
Assembly is a pain and there isn't anything included to use on the lock nuts, so I had to borrow pliers from my neighbour. Kind of flimsy, and the grips are angled outwards which promotes bad form! Not a great product but it works. It's really cheap but seems like this is a case of getting what you pay for.
