Exactly what I was looking for, for an at home Pilates machine. Great quality, wish I would’ve done it sooner.

This is my second reformer purchase and it went very smoothly. The price was excellent. The reformer is above and beyond. I want to spend every minute of the day on it. Shipping, handling and delivery were excellent. I love the foldable feature with this one!

Mostly assembled
Mostly assembled . A very sturdy carriage and the workmanship is beautiful.. Folds nicely, but only in the lowest leg height position, which puts it almost on the floor. If you want it up higher from the floor to use? Cannot fold it all the way.. I did not get any blue springs and trying to find a phone number to contact a human has not been easy.

We did not get what we ordered
We did not get what we ordered, despite the very high price of this product…
your representative, Mark, misrepresented, which we know now, what could easily be replaced, claimed that he did not have access to our order or information, which appears to be bogus, we're not happy at all, this is not a way to run a business. Very unhappy, and expect management to please reach out to us to resolve this immediately. Thank you.

Thank you for flagging this, Port. As you know we called you quickly, clarified the mix-up (color), apologized directly, and arranged shipment of the correct equipment immediately. You should receive the correct equipment shortly, and we're also arranging the pickup of the first unit, as agreed.
For everyone reading: we’re grateful for Port’s patience and constructive feedback. When we fall short, we move fast, communicate clearly, and make it right. We’ll continue to monitor delivery through completion and remain available for any follow-ups.

Great product for the price!
I was very excited to find a reformer that is studio-quality and put together in the US. I opted for the Janet because it was on sale and available in a stunning color. I am an instructor and need a reformer at home to plan workouts for my clients, but wasn't ready to drop $4-5K for a reformer like those at the studio where I work.
So far, I am impressed with the Janet. She is very smooth and sturdily built. One thing that I will say is misleading is that the reformer is not actually maple, but rather laminated board that looks like maple. That's not a deal-breaker, but I wish Personal Hour would disclose that info. Also, I would prefer three heavy springs, one medium, and one light, rather than two light, one medium, and two heavy, as to be the same as the ones at the studio where I work. The platform is great but has taken some getting used to due to the difference in platform to footbar location compared to the BB reformers at the studio. But again, not a huge deal.
The upholstery job seems high-quality, as does the box. Although I don't plan to fold mine, it is quite easy to fold and move, which is a useful feature. Customer service was great through email, and I was pleased that they gave my husband a veteran's discount. All in all, I'm very pleased with this product, think it's a great value, and look forward to using it!
If you see that your product will ship through Estes, be aware that in my experience, there was no heads up that the shipment would arrive on a specific day, but if you call Estes they can help you to zero in on this info, which is helpful it you have to be out of the house.

Thank you for the thoughtful, instructor-eye review, Jayla, and please also thank your husband for his service.
A few notes for you and readers:
Wood: The Janet’s wood is indeed certified Canadian maple (not laminated board). We’re happy to share supplier certificates on request.
Springs: We offer springs customization at purchase. We’ll make this option easier to find on the product page.
Shipping: You should have received a scheduling call. That miss is on us and our shipping partners; we’re following up with them to keep coordination clear.
We’re glad you’re enjoying the glide, build, upholstery -and that the fold/move feature is there when you need it.
