This is for day one with the bike. Putting it together was a breeze. The directions were simple and easy to follow. All the pieces and tools were provided. Took me approx 15-20 min to assemble.There's a mat that came with it. The foam padding in the box was sort of melted onto it but it's underneath so it's no big deal because you can't see it. They must have stored it somewhere hot.The bike is comfy and very sturdy. It doesn't wobble when riding (and I was on carpeted flooring). It's very quiet and smooth. Changing the resistance sounds kinda grind-y but I assume that's normal? It seems to change resistance levels fine.I'm 5' and the seat is all the way down and I just fit perfect. If you are any shorter, I don't think you could comfortably use this bike.The monitor is cheap, but gets the job done. I wish I could change to American units of measurement (it's in kilometers, etc.) But again, no big deal- I can convert it on Google if I really want to. It counts calories and tracks pulse and that's all I really wanted.I really like the tablet holder on the monitor. I can watch whatever on my tablet while riding! Entertainment AND exercise!It folds up small. I do wish it had a pin or something to secure it in place when folded.Will update review after more use. So far the initial experience has been a good one!Update: I've been using this bike for 2 months with no issues. It's quiet and I like that I can see my distance traveled, calories, and time spent biking. I fold it up every time and move it to the side of my room. It's not super heavy (but for an elderly person it may seem heavier, because even to me it feels slightly heavy and I workout quite a bit). I still think some sort of pin or something would have been nice to lock it into place when it's closed. It just kinda sits there and hopefully it doesn't get bumped. I also wish the screen was backlit. I have poor lighting in my room and it can be hard to see. Overall for the price, I still give the bike full stars. It does the basics and serves its purpose well. It's a decent workout too. It has 8 settings and I keep mine around 5-6 and after 20 minutes I'm sweating. Highly recommend this product if you want a basic stationary bike!
