 seems ok April 30, 2006

seems like it will work fine if it came with better fitting screws/nuts. but it doesn't, nor do they give you much help with that. can someone give me some info as to how to get it to fit right?

Basically, the problem with this unit is that you need the right doorframe and you have to be the right height as a person... Although the width of my doorframe was fine, the width of my walls were actually thin... So, what happens is that all that's holding you up is a 1/8 of an inch of wood, and if you that slips, down you go... Also, it creates considerable stress on the wall, and the paint started to crack after 6 pullups.. For me, in many ways, this product is an accident waiting to happen...
If your walls are 8 to 9 inches thick, your door frame very strong and you are average height (no taller than 5'10"), then this could possibly work for you... I'm 6'5" and between all the other factors, this did not work for me at all, as a result, I returned it... It's an idea that's almost there, but not quite there yet...
 Great product, but a few design flaws March 26, 2006

Let me begin by stating that I love doing pull ups. When I saw this product I thought that it looked like a great idea/option other than the traditional screw-in types. When it arrived I assembled it fairly quickly (15 minutes), and rushed to do a bunch of pull ups.
It was at this point that I encountered this product's fatal flaw. I live in an older house, and it seems that ALL of my doorways are too "deep" to use this. Width wise they are ok. I am totally bummed out, but I'm going to keep it just in case I move somewhere with more shallow doorways.
I advise anyone buying this product to look at/measure their doorways (depth and width) to make sure you aren't bummed out like me.
 It's pretty good March 24, 2006

It had different nuts and bolts then the instructions but I used them anyway and it worked. It seems rather cheaply made, it says it can support up to 300 pounds but I seriously doubt that, my brother is about 190 and it was buckling when he tried it. I use it a few times a week and I like it, the different hand grips are what makes it worth the money.
portable, effective and clever...teenager likes it! March 22, 2006

This will scratch up the wall above the door frame, but it's not so severe that a paint touchup won't take care of.
My son doubled the number of pullups he could do in a week's time with daily use. This is an affordable item that I think any teenage boy interested in fitness will enjoy and worth the risk of it ending up in a closet. My son, 14, uses this at least 4 times a week, so I can only say that it was worth every penny for us.
This item is great for parents who would like to add something else to do to the list of (quiet)things to do (by themselves) that doesn't include video games or television.
I gave four stars because it was a pain in the a$$ to put together. We had to retighten things several times before it finally seemed solid. NO problems since.
