Review on πŸ’Ί Black and Red Pro-Lift C-3001 Pneumatic Chair with 300 lbs Weight Capacity by Rob Sanchez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

wheels up. . . or in this case off. . .

So I got this for a very simple garage purpose. . . & when opening the box; It seems pretty simple: the seat attaches to an expandable post and plugs into the base (with casters). At the first inspection it turned out that everything is simple. . . (Now some may say "he must have known"...obviously I didn't know). . . the nuts holding the four pulleys were only hand tightened; then went over my garage floor a few times and the wheel fell off and I rolled away (30 years ago; that wouldn't have been a problem...I rolled out like a ninja; but let's just say I'm not a ninja and it was painful) . . . Regardless, I don't think it should have shipped without "fully" secured wheels. To the honor of the Revains; exchanged without question (Warning: had to be exchanged because the adjustable post was bent when dropped). The rest seems decent. . . but we'll see what time will tell. Note #1: So it's been a while, and I'd like to add that this product's biggest weakness is the metal plate that attaches to the seat itself (which allows you to connect the seat to the bar). Anyway, the products state that it has a 300-pound load capacity. . . I would say that this is an overestimate. . . provided you can remain seated directly over the adjustable stand; then of course. . . it will probably carry that much weight. In practice, however, if you sit on the edge of the seat; this metal connecting plate is already bent. . . and I'm only 180 pounds (not close to carrying capacity). . IMO, the metal plate (under the seat) is too thin to even support my weight (again, unless you sit right in the middle of the seat). Side note: #2 "poor quality" reels. . . The wheels are so narrow that they easily and repeatedly get stuck in the joints of the concrete garage floor. Still, I think for the price it's probably better than my 2 star rating. . . but i also think that the seat plate is a very simple solution that simply indicates poor quality. Hope that helps. Hooray.
