Very good quality! Bar is smooth wood, and the stand is sturdy. My daughter has improved so much since getting this equipment.

works great... BUT the directions are lagging... first thing separate the screws there are a couple of shorter screws that you need to put in the correct spot (find them first, or you will have to take it all apart to find them. as I recall they go in the top of tube supports... This is so the adjustable section can fit inside and then be secured by the knobs)

I got this bar to replace a smaller one that my 8 year old has grown out of and I am extremely impressed with it. The bar itself is close to a real gymnastics bar, not a large wooden dowel like the previous bar I had. This gives it a bit of spring/flex, just like a professional setup. The frame is very rigid, well-designed, and nice to assemble.The problem many people will likely have is the bar sliding on the ground. I solved this problem by bolting the frame to the (garage) floor and it is absolutely rock solid after doing that -- a credit to the strength of the frame itself. Without that, or possibly weighting the corners of the frame, I think a larger child's aggressive moves like kips are likely to scoot the bar around. With one of those measures, I (165 pound adult) can do a kip on this bar without issue. For pull overs and back hip circles, children will likely have no issue even without bolting or weighting.I think the only step up from this bar would be a full professional setup with guy wires bolted into the floor. Do note the dimensions clearly labeled in the description as this bar is large.

Are you looking to exactly recreate what you would find at a gymnastics facility? Then go spend ten times as much and grab your hammer drill. Looking for something reasonably sturdy for fitness and low level skills? This is one of the better options you will find. The base is longer and wider, with larger triangles for reinforcement compared to most other bars, and it goes to taller settings. Using the tallest setting does make the bar noticeably wobblier, but since it goes higher, you can achieve normal "low bar" height without being too wobbly. The bar has a decent feel once chalked up but it is less bouncy than a normal bar, probably owing to the width.What can you do on this bar? I guess that depends on how brave and/or crazy you are. To give you a frame of reference, for a 110 lb, level 6 (USAG) skill gymnast, this is what I felt comfortable with:Bar as-is: level 3 skills as the whole bar rocked off the ground when I tried to kipBar with four 45 lb bags of gravel on the legs: level 4 low bar skillsBar set to maximum height 70": fitness moves such as pull ups, pullovers, and leg lifts only (long hang kips or tap swings caused the whole bar to rock even with 180lbs of extra weight)A smaller gymnast could probably do a bit more, but the mats to do more safely would cost a lot more than this bar does. A smallish adult or teen is fine to actually kip on this bar, unlike some so-called "kip bars" which I have used at gyms and found to be too flimsy.All in all, if you know what you are getting, this bar is a great value. It is definitely a step up from most of the preschool-focused at home bars.

It's strong and very durable! It holds very well and is very safe! It can hold adults too which is great! Was a great buy!

my 8-year-old daughter loved this gift, its heavy duty, sturdy.

Solid, does not jump when doing hip circles or kips. It does take up quite a bit of space, so be prepared.

This item is very stable and my granddaughters love it. There was a piece missing and I contacted seller. Parts were sent very quickly and great communication with seller. Customer support gets a 10+. Will definitely buy from again.
