Bar only weighs 38 lbs.

I bought this set assuming that it came with a standard 45-pound barbell, but I just weighed it today after noticing that it didn't feel much heavier than my wife's 33 lb. women's bar, and it only weighed 38 lbs. That's way off. Crappy bar. Please be aware of what your purchasing. I wasn't.

10 pound bar built very solid. Only gripe I have is one side is knurled too sharply, so my son and I have to use gloves, but that is ok, makes us feel that much tougher, hehe. Other thing is the picture, the bends are not nearly as sharp as it shows and is built pretty much like any other bar, so it won't stress out your wrists or any other muscle that we've noticed, but it's not really a gripe, we like the bar just how it's made except for them pesky sharp knurls on one side.

very good bar but did not use it in the bathroom because the studs were not 16oc in that location. I always want at least 2 screws in studs. I will use it as a railing. Like the peening - nice grippy surface.

Good quality for the money. bar weighs 25 pounds. and the description even says "shippiing weight 25 pounds" don't listen if another review says the 5 foot bar weighs anything but 25lbs

The bar is very small.  I should have paid more attention to the description.  I think the liquid is probably the better value.

Yup.  It's a weight.

Easy to grip while you put it on the bar due the hand-holes.

I'll buy more of these.

I only received the bar and not the bench.  I sent an email so I'm awaiting a response from the seller to send what I paid for. The bar looks kind of okay but it's not a solid one, I wouldn't put more than 100lbs on it.

Bar feels solid and well built just like my full sized olympic bars. Not sure how accurate my scale is, but this bar came in at around 28 pounds compared to a standard length which is 45 pounds.

I've been using this bar for about a month now and it's shown to be a very well built, quality unit.  the knurling is very nice, not too aggressive yet very gripy.  the only downside to this bar that i see is that it has the black oxide coating that has already shown some wear from loading/unloading plates but this was expected and not a big deal just wipe it down with a bit of wd-40 once a week and no worries about rust.  it's ten times the bar of those $75-100 cheap-os and 9/10ths the bar of $300-400 bars.  overall an excellent bar.

It only weighed in at 40.3# so I got jipped out of 4lbs. I see weights ranging from 35# to 40# but nothing exactly 45#.As long as you weigh the bar so you know what you're lifting you should be good. It was a blow to my ego that I wasn't lifting what I thought I was...LOL.

Very nice and sturdy bar.  My 2nd grade daughter can do circles, but would need the extra extension to do a dismount.  The bar is strong enough to hold me at 170 lbs.

It was not the kind of bar that I thought it was going to be. I wanted the light weight bar

Nice bar, it itself weighs perhaps 15-20 pounds, so I, (female) can use it w/o weights for tricep curls, and my spouse puts weights on it for hud routine. Welded well, feels sturdy, we have had for seven months, no issues.

I like the bar.  The bar has a good powder coat on it giving it just he right amount of tackiness.  The only thing is the hardware it came with wouldn't have worked to keep the bar intact to where it is being put up at.  Also, it was missing some hardware (screws to keep the bar from rotating).  My husband had to go out and purchase better hardware and the screws that were missing.  Other than that, it's a pretty sturdy bar.  For the price, it's good enough for a garage gym.  I'm still really testing it out.  I'm just happy my gym is almost complete and I have something to put my rings up to work on ring dips and work on my pull-ups.

I bought this for my 3 year old to practice bars at home. It was easy to install it in the doorway and is sturdy enough even without the brackets for me to do a pullover without it slipping at all. I am 125 lbs. and my daughter is 25 lbs. If you're using it for gymnastics I highly recommend using an old crib mattress. I'd definitely say this bar is gymnastics approved, however I would advise that you install the brackets just as a precautionary regardless of your child's weight.

i've been using this bar for about a year now and it's held up well. i'm at 130lbs, so i can't say how it would hold up for heavier weight, but i'm very pleased with the product.

I normally do not write poor reviews, but this picture is deceiving.  You only get one bar for  $9 once you add in the shipping.
