I was kind of skeptical at first reading the reviews before I bought this. There were a good amount that seemed to have defective products like hanging hooks coming off and holes not aligning. As I was putting this together I was fully expecting to be disappointed and annoyed for all the reasons I read, fortunately I wasn't.First off the instructions are printed out in very small letters so I didn't even bother reading them. Instead I just used the diagrams as a guide, think IKEA. IT took about 45 minutes to an hour total. this included having to unscrew one part I had accidently put in backwards. So all together pretty simple to put together.As far as the hold not aligning, I didn't run into that problem. There were some points where the bolt would not go in easily but jiggling the bar a little eased the tension and allowed the bolt to go through with no problem. One thing you do want to make sure of is to not tighten everything until you have all the bolts in place. This might have led to some peoples frustration with this since you have to tighten them pretty tightly, it won't allow for any angle correction.The quality of the paint is not the best, it chipped and scratched as I was putting it together but it's a stand for a sand bag, so I really don't care if it has a few scratches.It's pretty sturdy and balanced as long as you have it on level surface. The floor in my garage is a little uneven so I bought a padded mat to put underneath so it levels out.You can put this together solo, though you may want some help with getting the speed bag platform onto the bar, it was only a little awkward.

Been using this stand with my 100 lbs heavy bag. As far as affordable freestanding heavy bag stands go this is the best option I've found. It fits in a small space and is fairly sturdy. Putting it together was also breeze especially if you have your own tools. Using it for a while now and so far it's been good. You do though need to weigh this thing down. Even with six 25lbs plates it would move around but placing a rubber mat underneath it and some more weight solved that problem. My biggest issue with the stand is that even though it is fairly tall, when you hang the bag it hangs too low. Even when you loose the chain and swivel and hang it directly on the hook it is just barely high enough. I'm 5"11 and if was even and inch lower I wouldn't be able to stand it. I know that they made it this height as not every one has 9 foot ceiling so they had to offer a universal model all could use. I wish they wood make this in a "tall" version for those who don't have low ceilings. My only other pet peeve is that the swivel that came with speed bag platform is junk and the platform itself is not super sturdy. I works OK when you get a better swivel on there but not the best. I can't complain to much as I got it mainly for the heavy bag portion and for the price is not too bad.

I've had the punching bag for years but never had the frame so finally got the frame. The bag has held up in storage no problem for a long time which I love and the frame wasn't to difficult to put together and I did it myself even though it says it takes two but I was too excited to wait for my husband's help plus he was at work...anyhow, my only dislike is when it arrived the box was pretty beat up and when I opened it some of the hardware screws where not there and it made me really nervous but on further searching taking everything out I was happy I found the rest of them. Then when i inspected each piece to make sure everything was there I noticed a part of the frame where it attached was bent in which I had to take a hammer to it to bend it back out otherwise it wouldn't fit together. All in all I'm happy with it and would recommend everlast to anyone.

I think this is a quality product for the price. I had read a few reviews, some negative, before buying and I have to say I'm completely satisfied with this stand. It was easy to put together, is sturdy as hell, and was almost half the price of some of the others. Since I'm having to use it in my garage it does slide a bit and has to be readjusted, but that's to be expected on a cement floor. Plus it does have poles to store your plates and weight it down even more, which would solve that problem, I just don't want my weights in the garage. On a carpet floor I'm sure you wouldn't even notice.

I really like this stand for my home gym. I assembled it myself in about an hour. ( did need help from husband for the speed bag assembly (that part takes 4 hands) It's sturdy and holds my 80 pound heavy bag nicely. One drawback may be limited movement. I work around the entire bag but can not with this stand. I've simply altered my workout to avoid the weight posts. It's a necessary drawback that I'm easily working around. It does not come with a speed bag. It does come with the speed bag hardware already attached and that works fine but the ball and socket/pivot are plastic. Dear Husband replaced that with a sturdier mechanism.
