Structural wood and the main frame: ten years. Steel and aluminium profiles and components, F2 systems, springs, plastic components and fasteners: two years. Elastomer-coated parts, which covers the footbar, hand bar, pedals, stoppers, handles and wheels: one year. The Pilates mat, upholstery and fabric accessories: ninety days. Cover begins at the invoice date and belongs to the original retail purchaser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSprings come with an obligation attached. BASI requires replacement every two years or every 3,000 hours of use, whichever is reached sooner, on any spring-loaded apparatus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no shipping charge within the United States. Crated goods move by freight with a phone call ahead to agree the slot. The driver unloads kerbside, so plan two people and check the doorways and any staircase turn beforehand. Smaller items go parcel, usually landing within 7 to 10 business days of dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspect before signing. Damage, or a box that has not arrived, must be written on the Proof of Delivery on the day and claimed within five business days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReturns run for 30 days from delivery on unused equipment in its original packaging. No restocking fee, refunds within 7 business days of the return arriving and free cancellation while the order is still at the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout BASI Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBASI Systems is the equipment line built around BASI Pilates, the teacher training body founded by Rael Isacowitz. The apparatus is designed alongside the curriculum rather than sold to fit it, which shows in details such as the four prepared F2 ports that appear across the range and let one spring system move between reformer, chair, barrel and Cadillac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrames are solid beech. Tracks and moving hardware are aircraft-grade aluminium. Contact surfaces use orthopaedic padding under anti-slip, antibacterial vinyl. The Wunda Chair has taken an A Design Award, and the spring positioning system is covered by US patent 10,393,163 B2.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BASI Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54086454837432,"sku":"M BSE 106 00","price":2850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/5031\/8520\/files\/basi-systems-tower-only-angle-view_a1e4b6e9-5799-430c-a475-54ba8feabfa5.jpg?v=1789221719","url":"https:\/\/thepilatesworks.com\/products\/basi-systems-tower-only-upgrade","provider":"The Pilates Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
