I've had a different pull-up bar from another company once before needing a new one. The old one came with the primary center bar come a little warped, making me need to bend a few parts (including a bolt) to make it work and fit together. This one, however, was perfect. No flaws, no warped metal, intelligent simple design, easy fit. I highly recommend it! I've had it for about 3 weeks now and I use it 4-5 times a week. Still strong. Not only do I do pull-ups on this thing, but I also do full-body rows and other exercises to help me get the the front-lever. Basically what I'm saying: I trust this product's integrity.
Pros:
- Affordable Price
- Quality Material
- Easy Assembly
- No Screwdriver necessary (i.e. no stripping! Hallelujah!)
- Tools Provided
Cons
- The top part that rests on the door frame and against the wall above the door is apparently plastic. But, because of the nature of the door-frame pull-up bar, that shouldn't be a problem because your weight is distributed between various points of contact when set up properly. Both my friend and I have been using it without any issues whatsoever (and I'm picky).
- The foam pad resting against the drywall above the door-frame looks thinner than I expected but seems to be doing its job. Leaves no marks.
Should I experience anything new (be it positive or negative) I will update my review. So far, though, this passes all my exercises with flying colors!
PS - I am 6' tall and weigh 167 lbs. My friend is 6'1" and weighs 175 lbs. Holds both of us great.
