Title: Great Workout and Parts, Poor Instructions
Product review: Bought this unit for my friend based on reviews that said this unit would work better for shorter people with smaller feet (5'6" and 7-1/2). My friend loves it. (This is his first rowing machine, and we have had it for about two weeks, so take our recommendation with that grain of salt.) Although it is true that it doesn't really fold very much for storage, its lighter weight and shorter length to begin with makes it easy to store. The assembly instructions are poorly written; more of an assembly part reference than detailed instructions. However, everything was there and the machine works very well. Assembly is easy if you are patient and verify your steps before you tighten everything down. I certainly recommend it for beginners. Based on the warnings about worn parts (seat "wheels" and shocks), I have saved the instructions to order replacement parts later, if necessary. Moving parts wear out. Deal with it.
