This stair stepper was exactly what I was hopping for. It was easy to assemble and I did my first workout and not being fit any longer, it was a real quad burner. I found a youtube workout video for beginners which helped a lot.
I know I will regain a lot of fitness using this stepper.
it is very sturdy and well made It accommodates my 170 lbs. no problem, and works well. I've only had it for a day, so I can't comment on it's longevity, With how well it's made, I will expect it to last a long time.
