  • I'm sorry but some of the choices made for the gym are ambering. Too much time was put into esthetics than actual utility (ie the wall ladder). The bench doesn't even have safety rails on the side, so if you fail you'll either get stuck under the weight or drop it on the wood floor, which should have some stall mats over it. 2/10

  • Beautiful. My home gym has to double as guest room. I have dumbbells, a stationary bike, foldable treadmill, and a rebounder. I'm thinking of getting a Murphy bed since the guests come sporadically and I need the space. What do you think?
