Very impressive machine. Would recommend without hesitation. Did alot of research before I bought this machine, forget the price, this machine is very well built and heavy. Quick shipment, no damage, easy to put together for 1 person. Use a drill. Everything moves smooth on this machine. Compared to others definitely buy this machine, you won't regret it.

Our Major Lutie smith machine has been amazing so far, apart from the fact that we're missing a piece to use the actual smith bar. Regardless, the company has been so easy to work with, responds fast, and have no complaints while remedying the situation. 10/10 for customer service.

As for the product, it's very fun to put together. I'd suggest watching the video that's online as it's a little easier to follow than the paper directions provided. It's built well and hardy, I have no complaints thus far. I love all the attachments that are provided and the fact that it also includes a cable system. It's the perfect all-in-one machine!

Thank you Major Lutie for this amazing product that us normal folks can afford to have in our homes!

I just received and assembled the SML07. It's a really nice and sturdy rack for the price. The pulleys and smith machine feel nice and smooth. I'm excited to use it for a full workout.

The packaging that it came in was pretty good. However the package that was holding all the bolts broke in the box and the bolts were all throught the box. Luckily none of them were lost. It took me about 4 hours to put together. It went together pretty easily, but I think some of the steps in the guide are out of order. I ended up having to take some bolts out to install some later parts.

All in all it's a good product and I'm excited to use it.

We haven't had any issues with the product I did try to contact them about how many packages it will show up in and I never got a response. The equipment did show up on time 3/4 boxes were early. There were a few parts that were bent but easily straightened it would have been more of a hassle to try and send the parts back. Overall we love the machine it makes a great addition to our home gym!

This is a rather good cage and allows for a a lot of different exercises. Unfortunately it has some pitfalls in primarily two areas:
- If you ever were frustrated with IKEA instructions, this is NOT for you. It can be assembled by a single person (with two areas that are quite difficult if you don't have three arms), but you have to do it with a total of instructions of 8 drawings to put together about 25 parts with about 60 screws. There are no real instructions how to perform certain steps, there are parts shown in the instructions that are as such not included, but need to be put together as subassemblies first, and in some cases the instructions seem not actually to belong to the current version of the cage.
- The parts are basically not protected at all during transport. Most parts are loosely put in one of 5 cartoons, just protected inside thin plastic bags to avoid them rubbing on each other. So paint damage is almost guaranteed as the bags are probably torn immediately when loaded on the truck. Some parts were bent, some parts were broken, some parts were missing. However, everything was eventually functional.
- The cable pulleys are running with a lot of resistance compared to commercial solutions. That makes the eccentric part of an exercise too easy to have the effect you might be looking for.

But there are of course good sides of this cage:
- The smith machine moves quite easily without adding any resistance. Please note that the bar moves in a 90 degree angle to the ground unlike most smith machines that usually run in a slightly smaller angle.
- The cage is very versatile with smith machine, cables, land mine.
- Customer service is trying to rectify any problems with the product and eventually sent all parts that were missing or broken; small downside is that, probably based on where the customer service is located, communication took usually 24 hours for a series of requests and answers, so it took about 3 days until we could agree on what the correct parts were that I needed.
- The cage is a good value for the price.

All in all, if this product would include "real" instructions with actual useful tips and if it were better protected during transport, this could get 5 stars.

With a 17mm ratchet wrench it took me by myself about 5 hours to put this together - up to the point where I was missing parts... If you want to do the job only with the included tools, you better plan with additional 3 hours. So you might want to spend the $20 for a wrench.
