Home exercise equipment is typically bulky and unattractive. German manufacturer NOHRD breaks the mold by employing craftspeople to build their SlimBeam, a small-footprint cable machine designed to be aesthetically pleasing while taking up little space. Wrapped in wood, it features a set of height-adjustable pulleys in a butterfly arrangement, accommodating a variety of exercises.
The weights are hidden in the back. I love this particularly German bit of product copy: "The rubberized weight plates prevent any unpleasant clanking noises during your workout."
There's an option to add a 7" touchscreen monitor.
Here we get a look at their actual production process:

NOHRD does have U.S. distribution, and the machines start at $2,000 for the Oak finish; stepping up to Cherry and Walnut raise the price by $400 and $500, respectively.

I wish every gym had rubber plates. We get it bro, you just did drop sets to failure. How about keeping 1 rep in the tank so you can lower those weights without dropping them.
