Found they have an Amazon store, I also sent them an email asking about why its so light. My guess is that it is actually two boxes and they only entered tracking for one. Here is the link to Amazon which says its 64 pounds: https://www.amazon.com/ALPINE%C2%A9-Machine-Fitness-Attachment-Pulldown/dp/B01FYLE7OY/ref=sr_1_27?m=A3RCRUQZKOMTW7&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1464824008&sr=1-27&refinements=p_4%3AAlpine
Sorry, I double checked and I paid 199 from Amazon shipped (price is up a bit now). Don't expect something rock solid like a commercial gym pulldown machine and it's very light. But it gets the job done for a good price!

I bought what appears to be the identical machine rebranded (Akonza Lat Machine Low Row Cable Pull Down Fitness Closed Handle Attachment Pulldown https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FYLE7OY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_EXsTAb59GWKRJ). I was really limited w options due to low ceiling height. I’ve had it several months now and use it regularly for accessory work. For the price (I got it for about $150) and for fitting in my basement, it’s been great. Feels pretty solid using it with 100-150 lbs of plates. I do weigh it down w some plates in the back for stability. A sandbag would work. Due to the design, the lat pull down and seat position is not ideal (sitting directly under or even a bit in front of the pull down cable), but thats so it can connect to the bottom cable. It’s not a big deal but I could understand not liking that. I also might not want it if I were a bit taller - I’m 5’10” and can just get a full stretch. If you are 6’ + you probably wouldn’t. Finally for facepulls I use the low cable and sit on the floor. Not a big deal but it’s what I have to do. Overall I’m very happy for the price and footprint size and height.
I dunno, seem pricey for used equipment, but I think thsoe things are in the $1,000+ range new. I am super cheap, though so I'd opt for something like this:
Dang this is far better than the Akonza one I just bought last week.
