Excellent quality. For those worried about the M8 bolts it comes with, don't. They are more than strong enough to hold substantial weight (120kg+).

Bought this in Feb 2019, exactly three years later I am writing this review, excellent product, I weigh 90kg and have been doing pull ups on this 3-4 times every week over the last 3 years. If anybody complains about this product they either did not install it correctly or they don’t know how to do pull-ups correctly, the fact that this pull up bar is close to the wall will force you to keep the proper form when doing your pull ups.

This product itself is good quality for its value. I am happy to have it in my home. Although I have to mention if you aren't necessarily a handy/DIY person or knowledgeable in installing things into walls, it will possibly be a challenge (given you do not have the right equipment and knowlegde) much like I faced trying to install this product into my home. The wall plugs supplied with the product did not work for my wall instead I had to use the suggested Expansion Bolts/Anchor Bolts (specifically M10 Rawl Bolts, which you can find here on Takealot). Make sure you watch YouTube videos on how to install Rawl Bolts if you have no idea how to beforehand because this product does not come with a manual on how to install it but only an image on how to assemble it. Initially, when checking whether I had all the parts to install it, there were 2 washers missing. Hopefully you don't have the same issue when buying this product. Have a great day

Not a clever design. Secured it with roll bolts to the wall (not the ones supplied with the bar - they are useless) but the bar still came out of the wall on the second pull up my son did, and he only weights 67kg. The two plates that secure the bar should be longer at the top so it counters the weight you put on the bar when do a pull up. It is also very close to the wall once installed, so difficult to pull your knees up without knocking them against the wall. Very disappointed.

Very good product - solid and well made. The only thing I needed to add was some tennis overgrips on the bars to prevent your hands from slipping. The plastic grips provided on the parallel bars also slips (turns) so I will replace then with tennis overgrips as well. But I would definitely recommend this product. Just make sure to use rawl bolts when securing it to a wall, and preferably use a cement adhesive (like Sikadure) to secure the rawl bolts as well.

Very happy with the product, the alignment is a bit out but it's sturdy and I use it every day. As other reviewers stated, you definitely have to use 4 M10 Rawlbolts instead of the plugs and screws that are included, they are flimsy and you'll most likely hurt yourself if they happen to dislodge from the wall mid pull up.

Loving it everyday…I used M8 bolts 💪

Coach screws for installation are completely inadequate for fixing the bar securely to a concrete brick wall. Installation has to be above a doorway or similar, because the arms do not extend out far enough away from the wall for you to do a pull up without scraping/bumping your knees against the wall.

Very good for the price, dont expect excellent grips orsuper strong steel but it gets the job done. Also be sure to mount it with m10 bolts that everyone is talking about

The wall plugs that come with this bar couldnt hold the weight of a wet baby chihuahua. Get proper expansion bolts (10mm min diameter and min 75mm length) for a great mount
