Not too long. Any more and it would be a pain with the bracket, but it seems to work well there.

I just built a similar thing. Susan, did you ever find something appropriate? If you found a solution can you let me know at mkordick@gmail.com

Thanks a ton. Very helpful. In your opinion, is this worth a DIY adventure or is there not much to be saved in calling someone to setup?

It takes me about 5 to 10 minutes to take it down and put it up. I use boat winches with d rings to pull it up and down. I put 4 posts up with pulleys on it. It works great once you get it set up. I hope this helps

Good question.Mine came completely broken so I threw it away. I don't think its very long. Probably a foot.

I agree guys, poor judegment as usual by Amazon to post product details that do not match what you receive in the mail. I do have some good news for you guys tho...like (S. R. Lane) said the Body Solid website has the true product details. Get this, as I was watching the (YouTube video) they posted on their site of some guy using the bench, I finally figured out a way to make this thing DECLINE...and pretty safely at that. I figured this out by looking at the video alone. Believe it or not, my bench hasn't arrived yet in the mail but I can't wait to use it because it sounds really sturdy and fairly priced. While watching the video...pause it at 0:05 sec and it should come to you....if not The ANSWER to how to make your bench DECLINE is: lift it about 6"-12" off the ground, and put a strong square object beneath the leg extension so it sits flat and secure and voila!!! Sometimes we have to modify things a bit guys sorry...the best I could think of short of drilling more holes and makin a real freakin project out of this thing haha NOT! ENJOY!

Could take weeks sir. - Scotty. But in reality it depends on how well you want to build it. From a few hours to months. It's a solid build and a very scalable model, all depending on what you decide to put into it. A fantastic kit though!

Sorry - lent it to a friend so I don't have the instructions. Maybe try You Tube to see if anyone does a demo of it. Good luck!

Hi Hilary - My hubby built it in not much time at all. It was missing a piece and that stopped us from using it for a day but then we worked it out and it's complete now. If you find yourself handy it's probably no worse than IKEA stuff.

Hi Viv. Since I bought this as a gift, I don't have access to it. Sorry it's blasting you outta your socks....were there no instruction manuals or information with it? Possibly check manufacturer website. Wish I could help. I feel your pain. :)

Hmm... I had to go look at mine to refresh my memory. It is easier to do than explain. You pull the height rod up by pressing the black tab/button at the top of the height rod. It extends to an appropriate height. You can pull out the horizontal bar perpendicular to the height rod either before or after you have extended the height rod. I would pull it out before extending the bar. While on the scale extend the bar, or pull it back down, until the horizontal piece rests on the top of your head. Make sure you are standing straight and that your head is not bent forward or backward. You read the height at the place from which the height rod originally extends. As another reference, there is a red (or maybe green) rectangular gasket at the point where the height is read. You don't read it at the top. Inches are on the left side. Each tick mark represents an eighth of an inch, at least on mine. To retract the height rod just pull it back down. The horizontal piece is retracted by pressing on the black button and pulling it down and flush to the height rod. I quickly looked for a link with pictures to send, but didn't find one. Hopefully this helps.

All you need is a screwdriver. So that saves time in itself. If you sat down with no distractions, you could probably do it in 30 minutes or so. Most of the attachments are screws with their locks.

It was fairly simple to attach the stand. I've since put it in the wall but used the stand until I got the mount on the wall. It probably took me 2 or three minutes. If I would've had help it probably would've been 1 minute.

I work as a mechanic and have a bunch of tools. Not many are required from what I remember. But the purpose in my saying so is to point out that I am fairly handy to begin with. I also believe it requires 2 people to set it up. I did the entire thing myself. It is heavy to maneuver alone, but I'm the wannabe superman type. All in all I was done in about 1.5 hrs I believe and that's with me repairing a few sections of trim that were damaged during shipping. So maybe medium difficulty I would say.
