It serves its purpose absolutely fine and costs a fraction of the cost of some of the larger sturdier models available

This isnt a high end piece of gym equipment it is something to be pulled out and used on a whim in the comfort of your own home or possibly at your desk whilst working

I was a little concerned after ordering when i read the other reviews but i think if you have realistic expectations with what you are going to receive you wont be disappointed

Im loving it so far and have positioned it under the desk for a little cycle as i work
