" ...  I just finished putting it together and here is my suggested build order for no hassle. ... Be sure to tighten them using the provided tools so they don't wobble. ... Lastly, install the base plate using the straps. ... Tighten away and you're good to go!  ...  "

" ...  The stand is well-built and helps prevent back strain by keeping the weights off the ground. ... Once I went with four 3" caster wheels, it rolls smoothly over carpet and hardwood and is much easier to maneuver into tight spaces. ... The stand now has wheels and can be easily rolled around.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Connect the media rack to the two plates that will hold the weights (it will be loose since they are tightened with nylon insert jam lock nuts, which i hate, so i plan to replace those nuts with regular ones of the same size so I can tighten it securely) ... install the bumpers onto the plates that will hold the weights. ... Screw them in using the small screws they give you ... Connect the plates that hold the weights to the actual unit (the 2 U bars). ... Be sure to tighten them using the provided tools so they don't wobble. ... Lastly, install the base plate using the straps. ... Tighten away and you're good to go!  ...  "

" ...  Seems pricey for just a stand, but it is well built and hold the dumbbells nicely.  ...  "
comment
" ...  They are supposed to help hold the dumbbell tray stay put but the belt digs into your knuckles when you firmly grab the dumbbells to remove them from the tray.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I received the dumbbells today and it all fits perfectly. ... Not sure why there is a tablet holder, but it’s there for use if you so desire. ... Although the platform each dumbbell sits on keeps them secure and in place.  ...  "

" ...  One of the bands was broken .  ...  "
comment
" ...  Bowflex has literally included retaining straps in the box so they can consider the stand “compatible.” Straps. ... And this strap, even while tightened with as much tension as possible, does NOT keep the dumbbell in place while on the base.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Instead, Bowflex decided to say this stand fits the 1090's so they could sell a single stand, and they send you buckles to strap down your 1090 seats onto the stand.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I've actually loosened the strap a little so I can tape the strap to the bottom of the holder.  ...  "
