Review on Red Steel Ringside Prime Free-Standing Station For Boxing And MMA Heavy Bag Training by Victor Ahmed

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Frustrating Start best in my review

the stand was a hassle to setup1. the first shipment had missing pieces. I learned this is due to Ebay re-using returns for purchases. So the last purchaser had made a return without all the parts2. the manufacturer does not offer sales of individual parts, so I had to do a return and get a replacement through Ebay3. When I setup the stand, instructions read to tighten the hex bolts with supplied tool. No such tool existed! I needed to use my 3/4" drive socket wrench with 17mm socket + a wrench to hold the hex bolt carriages in place4. I had 2 unnecessary m10 80mm hex bolts and missing 2 required M10 70mm hex bolts!5. I go to home depot to discover the instruction sizes for the hex bolts are wrong! The stand requires m10 75mm and m10 65 mm hex bolts, not 70 and 80!6. once I bought the 2 missing 65(!)mm hex bolts, I completed the installation, and it looks solid.If you do decide to purchase this, quite frankly,buy directly from the manufacturer. One less thing to worry about.It's a solid design stand and good material, but I do expect I'll need to buy weights to keep the stand sturdy. This is a problem with most of these comparable stands. I expect to be happy with my purchase (I haven't tried it out yet) but, boy oh boy, this was a frustrating start!
