Help with PS Star Stand Alone

Nikita Day started this discussion · 6/7/2013

Has anyone gotten the new star stand alone and had trouble fitting the last piece of the stage in? I have been fighting with mine for an hour, called PS and they said to jump on it and be very rough with it so I did. I don't think I'm heavy enough and instead of getting it even close to fitting, I have hurt my wrist and twisted my ankle. Please if anyone has any tips on how to get that last piece in, let me know.

Yes! I got one several weeks ago. My husband used a rubber mallot and got it in no problem becz he is stronger than me! They are wedged together so tightly becuz there were probs with the old one being loose and catching heels. I sweated for a long time before just asking him. He sort of pulled the next to last piece aside and somehow hit it and it jumped into place. If it still wont fit it could be something else rong but not sure. I also read to put the pieces in the sun to warm them a bit. So the next time i used it it went rite in, but I took it out and had the same prob again. Have u taken the pieces out and rearranged them? I did and everything fit except the last....didnt matter which piece...just the last. Is there a strong guy around that can help u? They LOVE the challenge. Seriously, he did it in about two minutes and i had been slaving over 45!

if you gentle kick each peice towards its neighbor, the last peice goes in easier. it was suggested to me to utilize a rubber mallot, but my foot works just fine :) i dont have to fight with my last peice.

Thanks! My friend came, lined it up and jumped in it as hard as she could until it popped into place. When I took it apart I tried that last piece again and it was fine. Just had to get past that first time. I know there have been a lot of complaints about this pole, but I actually really like it. The changes they have made seem to have worked well

Do u have the 3.0 which is the new one? This one has lots of great reviews. The 2.0 didnt from what i have read. I really like it too.

Yeah. I got the 3.0. Sooooo nice! Also had issues breaking down the actual pole but I realized that's my fault. I was too excited to use it to read that you can loosen the pieces before connecting them. All better now thanks to my strong neighbor! Lol

U can loosen the pieces...oh yea with the allen wrench? Then i guess u have to tighten it again...oops!

Guess that is why I had trouble getting them apart!

It would be based on preference. I plan on putting it on the loosest setting and slowly increasing it to the tightest setting that I can actually pull apart cause I don't want it coming apart while I'm on the pole since you can only change it when the pole is in pieces
