Let me start by saying this bar is SOLID. The chrome-plated steel feels industrial-grade, and I had zero concerns about weight capacity (220lbs is legit). My yoga trapeze hangs securely, though like other reviewers, I noticed it sits lower than expected—my toes graze the floor at 5'9". Not a dealbreaker, but taller users beware.
The installation? Mixed bag. My doorframe was JUST under the minimum width, requiring some... creative carpentry (RIP, door seal). The included screws felt flimsy—I immediately swapped them for longer #9s. Pro tip: have a drill and extra hardware ready.
Where this shines? Kids' swings. My niece calls it her "magic flying spot." The brackets allow easy room-to-room moves (genius for small spaces). But that CLUNKING noise? Real. The locking mechanism is inconsistent—one side stays put while the other spins like a fidget spinner mid-swing.
Biggest red flag: durability under intense use. An autistic reviewer's child dislodged it after 12 hours of swinging. My solution? Anchor it into studs, not just drywall. The included straps/hooks ARE high-quality though—no fraying even after months of daily use.
Final verdict? Great for casual use, but power users may need to MacGyver the installation. 4/5 stars—would buy again (with heavier-duty screws).
