I have been researching a free standing pull up bar for several months. I wanted one with adjustable height, standard diameter bar (not oversized), that I can use with rings and band assisted exercises. Assembly was straight forward, took me under 1 hour, and helped me appreciate how robust the design is. The material and finish is much better than I expected at this price. For pullups the bar is way more stable than the quick setup, portable ones I have used in the past. I considered some of the more expensive bars out there, but very happy with this bar at about half the cost.
