The Malibu Pilates chair was easy enough to set up, but at one of the joints I noticed a bit of soft putty that did not get covered by whatever the coating is. Does that mean that the joint's integrity is altered? The brief 6-month warranty on it starts at the purchase date...why? I think, perhaps, that the Malibu Pilates chair may not be quality made. The vinyl covering on seat seems thin. Why not use a sturdier vinyl on the seat and floor mat? The handlebars they included to place on the sides of the seat have only one latch button, therefore the bars jiggle easily--why didn't they use 2 latch buttons per side to make it sturdy? Using the machine: the instructor is good, but in order to keep her in view on the TV I have to keep stopping the DVD and turning the machine around for that particular exercise. That's a bother! There are some exercises that I feel my legs are just a tad too short to perform them satisfactorily. Bottom line: For the $300+ expenditure, I am leary about the quality of the machine, especially coupled with their unimpressive warranty. I am strongly leaning toward returning it within the "30-day" trial period.

This is a good machine easily assembled. In fact other than the side handholds which snap in it simply folds out. And you only need the handholds if you are broad shouldered (it's the usual configuration for men) so being 6"4'I needed the addition. It works and thatt's not surprising since it is a metal version of Joseph Pilates Wunda Chair from the early 20th century but it does have a split foothold conversion that is unique. A special warning this workout is not easy and even when you watch the DVD you will think it's a "walk in the park". If you use it you will get a good Pilates workout. It's great if like me you've done the floor workout and want an economical way to add one of the traditional Pilates props.
