First of all I’m glad I purchased and overall like the product. My issue is with the cable length provided. As pictured, the end of the cable doesn’t extend to the footplate. When doing rows with the Rogue triangle grip, it doesn’t allow me to let the weight off by letting it retract straight in. I have to shift the grip and cable over my foot and off to the side. I asked Rogue if they had a small cable extension, but they say this is the correct length and how it is designed. Not an issue with light weight, but I don’t want to let the seat hold heavier weights while I adjust my position to let it off to the side. Guess I’ll be adding my own extension or using a different grip.

This review is for the Lat Seat + the Low-Pull Attachment and Footplates. First, a comment on the build quality: like most Rogue products these pieces of equipment are well-constructed and durable especially the seat base that doubles to house the pulley wheel and the footplate. For the seat portion, prior users commented on the wobble of the seat when you are engaged in movements, but I find that much less noticeable when you adjust the height to your comfort level rather than Rogue's guidelines. Doing so eliminates the push from your legs on the knee pads. On that point of seat height, note that with the low-pull attachment and footplate, Rogue recommends the seat be dropped almost as far down as the beam (a pin fastens the seat to the bottom extension beam). This is simply not practical for almost any user over 5'5" and maybe just not practical at all since it's far too low for proper leverage. Again, adjust the seat to your comfort, so you can do the pulldown movement correctly. You can do pulldowns and back rows without affixing the seat to the lower extension beam, so it just seems like a poor design choice in this case. I do understand the desire to anchor the seat, but it just doesn't make sense to do that at the expense of correct form, so I knocked the rating down one star. Some other minor quibbles on what is overall a good product when used in conjunction with the Slinger: 1. the seat might be a little too narrow for some users; 2. the low extension beam is a bit long and comes out just at the base of the seat, so you have to be aware of the footplates at all times so you don't trip when walking or even standing up from the seat; Rogue could have rectified this by either making the footplates a little less wide or foldable on a hinge, or figuring out how to tuck the whole extension beam and plates under the seat. As is, I do recommend this set of lat seat and low-pulley attachment with footplates. Just bear in mind, not many users will be able to drop the seat down to the low extension beam to fasten it with a pin. But, in my experience, you don't need to.
