It’s a lot smoother than I was expecting. My only issues so far are minor, but worth pointing out. The pop pin behind the foot plate is kind of hard to get to when the foot plate is up, and there are any weights on the top weight horns. And I wish there was a way to secure the back rest at more than one location. With just a single pin holding it in place, especially on the leg press, it still swings like a pendulum when getting on or off.
