Would be used for older person &amp; walking purposes only. Is it hard to assemble? Is it sturdy? Do u recommend the 3/yr. protection plan ?

I have many health issues such as ripped discs in neck and bulging discs in low back, arthritis etc. Anyway this was very simple to set up. Just take out of box, unfold and screw in two big pins and your ready to walk. It is strurdy but not heavy, and I did get the 3year protection plan.

Sure, it's fine. A little lightweight, but it will support an adult. And if the adult is extra tall, there's room for feet to stick out the end. :)

We bought them for a six year old and eight year old. Both have been very happy with it. A 3 year old plays on it at basketball practice. It is very sturdy. Since you can add Android apps you should be able to use it for older kids but the style might look too "little kid" for anyone over 10.

My husband and I are in our late 60's and we use ours to get to and from shore when anchored out. We have found it stable in climbing to it from our 19 foot old Glasply and the reverse. Have not used it when really windy.

it is not for people with balance problems like myself. it has nice big wheels to go over rougher ground. some older people just need a bit of strength help. like a tricycle it is more tippy than 4 wheels for sure.

Well, I'm an elderly lady of 75, and I'm managing with it. I am somewhat handicapped, and I will be honest the stool is a bit heavy, but considering the safety factor, it's well worth the money. I haven't got a scale large enough to weigh it, so I guess you'll just have to ask the manufacturer.

I only use this to help my old dog get up the two steps from the yard to the deck. I would say though that it is too heavy and bulky to wear for any length of time. There was a black one I ordered first that was lighter but 90 lbs was the limit. They were right on because mine is 95-100 lbs and it didn't fit. Hope that helps.

The woman I take care of (120 lbs.) uses the rail for security and balance when transferring in and out of bed to power chair. It's pretty sturdy since the rails go quite far under the mattress. I suppose a really heavy person who put a lot of weight on it could possibly bend it or snap it, but I haven't had the experience so can't really answer. If you're looking for something to help maintain balance while taking a step or two, this would certainly do it. But I wouldn't put full body weight, regardless of size, on this or much of anything else as far as that goes.

actually I used it and it is poorly built and heavy this is actually built for old aged people it may help some what in just walking but it bothers a lot while walking which is more severe than arthritis So I would no recommend it for running .

Because the legs elevate, it's still pretty bulky when collapsed. Might want to look at one with fixed legs that is lighter and smaller. Seemed easy to put together but I work in healthcare and have dealt with wheelchairs of all types for 25 years.

I got it for my elderly aunt who only weighs 95 lbs. It's very sturdy and it's lightweight, easy to transport, works great for us. Not sure how it would be for someone who weighs 200 lbs or more, though.

I paid like 125 for it run and walk on it not sturdy for age 55 could possibly be a fall hazard

I am 71 and have no trouble with it, however I am 5'8", so maybe someone shorter may have to use a step stool. The seat is very solid, and I have never worried about it tipping over getting in or out.

It would be fine for an adult who is willing to use some care opening and closing it. I'm not sure how it would hold up with a child, it is not a real heavy material and it does of course have a zipper, neither of which I have had a problem with. I have been using it for about 3 months as my primary closet and have had zero problems with it. I even have a few items stacked on top of it. I have been very happy with it. Hope I have answered your question

I love this item! It went together perfectly and is as sturdy as it can be for the size of it. I'm not a 100% sure what your expectation of sturdy is. If you expect to be able to put a lot of your body weight on it, I would say it's not meant for that. Is you are concerned about a toddler or baby being able to pull it over, anchor it to the wall, or just make sure they don't play with it. I hope this helps.

I'm 74 years of age, so walking is just fine for me. The Exerpeutic 100XI, is never flat. It is designed to be on an incline, high or lower. I guess maybe a younger person could run on it. Like running up a rolling hill in Tennessee.It does have a resistance knob on it to give a better work-out, but I don't use it. It is very easy to lift up and put the locking mechanism into the slot to push the exerciser out of the way next to a wall or such. It is very sturdily built.I really L-O-V-E mine and I think you would LOVE it too!

We purchased this item for our grandsons who are - unfortunately for us - living in the USA. I only saw them playing with the unit on Skype. The boys are 3 and 1, it seems to have survived so far. Their Mom, my daughter, managed to put the thing together and from what I can see it is strong enough to support my youngest grandson who is busy learning to walk. Sorry I cannot give you more details.
