Stationary bike comes well packaged with styrofoam. Easy to assemble, it comes with the tools needed. One needs to tighten the nuts appropriately to get a nice stable bike. 2 batteries were not included, the wire needed to plug into the electronic timer is just hanging by the flywheel and could be missed; the instructions don't specifically address this.The quality of the bike is excellent at this price point. It feels heavy/sturdy and well made. It can be adjusted up to size quickly with pull/twist knob both my partner and I have found it satisfying. WE are both smallish at 170 pounds 5'9" so I can't address large framed riders. The electronic milage counter is not back-lit - so need good light onto grey screen to read. There is a holder for iPad and drinks x 2. It runs perfectly quiet, comfortable saddle and with a removable cover to potential launder it. The pedals have covers to activate pull-up - I like that - they have metal saw tooth edges so need a good-sole-shoe (probably don't use bedroom slippers). The more expensive versions had more electronic depth, but for our use this was good. At this price point clear 5 *.
