I've read the reviews. Does the description/product photo not match what you get? Is the bar metal or plastic? Does the bar swing or not?

The photo is accurate. The bar and the hinges are made of metal. What you cannot see in the photo are the latches which are located near the top of the doorway. You can have the bar hooked in the latches to do standard pool ups or you can unlatch it and it swings down. It can hold me at 230 lbs and it does not feel stressed. I personally swung it down to its lower position and drilled two holes into the side bar so that I could pin it in a lower level so that my kids could use it for pull ups as well. Hope that helps.

It is very sturdy. The only time it swings is when you have popped it off of the wall-mounted studs; it then swings down freely (for the easier forms of pull-ups.) But when you're doing normal pull-ups/chin-ups, it feels like it is bolted down. Very sturdy.

The swing is the same design but a different color. Here is the link for the other color: International Caravan Valencia Steel and Resin Wicker Porch Swing, 4100-DBL-HY, Seats 2, Brown

Sorry, I don't check my e-mail often. I think it is made of metal; it isn't wood or plastic. It is very sturdy. I'm very pleased with it.

Metal now. It was previously plastic, but they redesigned it. I bought the new (metal triggered) unit about a week ago. I recommend it without reservation.

The bar at the top is plenty wide so that you can sit comfortably. There is also a foot rest that makes it very comfortable to swing in. We've had ours for over a year and it holds up very well.

Its plastic and metal. Mine did not survive indoor use even, so I would not recommend it for outdoor use.. Or not recommend it at all.

How was this different from the one pictured? I ordered one awhile ago and then another more recently, and they were slightly different. The first one was all rigid metal with a metal stand. The second one had a folding handle and a plastic lid and the stand was on top of that.

On my bath bench the legs and cross bars are metal - looks like heavy-duty aluminum. It is holding up well for my 220# husband.

It's plastic, but it has the wood grain look. Hard to tell unless you get right up to it.

It is metal. Very sturdy. For the price I expected a lesser quality product, but we were pleasantly surprised. It came in a clear plastic circle container. It fit my 4yr old nicely, but it is made for an adult. It is beautiful and I am so happy I got it.

This is metal and has plastic handles. I have had this a long time and I'm not disappointed! It looks much better in person than in the photo, too.

Is this a metal or plastic bar at the top? Need a bar that will support my clothes and want give away.

It was actually metal. I was surprised when I received it. I figured it would be plastic for the price. Only draw back is shipping. Took close to a month to receive due to being shipped from overseas.

I don't know if they offer different colors now, but mine is metal and has a metal color. If the description doesn't indicate that "white" is an option, then it's probably safe to assume the bar is metal.

Bars are metal. Not super thick but it does the trick for my sons beagle. His dog is not one to try to escape so he did not need a stronger crate. Bottom is plastic so beware if you have a chewer. So far we are very happy with quality.

The mount is plastic with a chromed plastic cover at each end. The bar itself is metal. It is very durable, but I would not use it as a grab bar.

I do not no the answer to your questions, sorry. But I must say I am happy with the swing for the price. I have it on a sceened-in porch.
