Summary: Good Alternative
Comment: I bought this bag awhile ago thinking that for my stand up it would be good. As others have mentioned this DOESN'T replace a heavy hanging bag but this is still a great item. The problem I had when I bought this bag was expecting it to be tall enough for me to punch but sadly this is not the case. I'm a little taller so my punches go over the bag but this is great if you want to practice body shots or working the inside. Now, for why I think this bag is great. I practice Muay Thai and I swear to you that there is no other product better for practicing simple kicks and knees. This bag is the perfect height for working the Muay Thai clinch of course nothing beats having someone wearing pads but if you don't have the luxury of someone to spar with this bag is what you need. On a side note if you have children this would be a perfect item if they are into karate or other martial arts because it's the perfect height for good standing posture. The base of the bag is sturdy some people fill it with water or others fill it with sand but the bag it's self has other uses that can be used for training. If you have a smooth floor like in your garage you can spar with the bag and then push it the length of the floor and then stand up spar and repeat. This is great conditioning for mixed martial arts and gives you a total body work out: Hips, shoulders, arms, legs and if done properly you can improve your cardio and endurance.

Summary: Convenient for home training, potting flowers.
Comment: I bought this for workouts while I lived in an upper-floor apartment. Set-up is easy, just a few bolts (tools included) and some sand or water (cheaper but 'sloshier') for ballast. There is some nice bounce-back and it can take the hardest hits without falling over. It does slide around a little on carpeting, but not enough to mess with a workout.
The most annoying thing about it was that everyone who came in just had to try their best power punch out, even if it was 3am after a night out. Like I said, I was on the upper floor, and the sound of the stand 'whomping' down on the floor as it tilted back and forth probably was not too pleasant for the people below.
When I moved out I didn't want to toss it in the trash but had no real use for it anymore, so I use it as a pot for an orange tree that outgrew its old home. How green of me.

Summary: Everlast Freestanding Heavy Bag Review - Good Bag!
Comment: I purchased the Everlast Freestanding Heavy Bag and am quite happy with it. It is a very good bag, for the price, and I found it to be exactly what I needed for me and my sons to use for TKD practise kicking and punching.
Assembly was straight forward. All parts were there, except one of the bolt heads still had 'slag' in it, and had to be tightened with a pair of pliars, as the hex key would not fit into it. (Ergo, 4 instead of 5 star rating). Make sure you line up that first 'seal disk' with the notched divits for a tight fit. :)
The foam was kind of difficult to get inside the bag, but eventually fit nicely and looked good. I had to step on the big round foam disk to make it sit all the way to the bottom of the bag (well, the top once it's put on the stand) and be flush, but it worked and made the bag smooth and nice looking.
I used five 50lb bags of kids play sand (they were $3.00 each and very compact bags) and instead of ripping them open, I managed to fit four bags beside each other (standing up position) and layed the last one on top of them. This way if I ever need to break the unit down and move it to another location, I will not be scooping sand forever!!
The bags fit perfectly, the weight is at the recommended 250 lbs now, and the unit will NOT move from kicking and punching (and it's on a carpeted basement floor), even with an adult kicking...there is just the right amount of 'sway/give' from kicks and punches.
VERY happy with this purchase.

Summary: Good Product....so far(?)
Comment: So far so good for this bag. I put 4 60lb bags of sand in the base and have not had any problems with "migration" like some of the reviewers. It is not loud either...if you assemble it correctly. Bag was a little hard to assemble...just read directions carefully and follow EVERY step (I had to reassemble it twice). I would recommend this product to a friend...good for venting frustration!

Summary: What gloves are you guys using?
Comment: The everlast freestanding bag is not meant to be hit with actual boxing match gloves. It is a training bag. I think that is why there are so many reviews about the stand breaking. If you try hitting with a small boxing glove, first, you'll seriously hurt your hands and two the force on the bag is multiplied as the distance between your hand bones and the bag decreases thus dreastically shortening the stands life. You need gloves like these "Everlast Pro Style Training Gloves (Black) ". They don't have to be everlast but you have to make sure they are training gloves. That is the key, TRAINING GLOVES. And there shouldn't even be a choice between water and sand. Standing water is not healthy nor is it clean. Stagnant water draws tons of mosquitos. Buy 4 or 5 sand bags or double up some supermarket bags and go to the beach. Thats the only reason i'm not giving this five stars. Everlast should have known better. As for the training gloves, "It is strongly recommended that bag gloves are worn when using the EVERLAST Free Standing Heavy Bag" is written in bold on the assembly sheet. So to anyone planning on buying this product, be aware of what your buying.
