 Questionable item August 21, 2010

When the box arrived to my house it was in terrible shape, mangled and held together with clear tape. The contents inside looked fine, upon assembly I noticed that one of the pieces were missing (shaped like a "U"). I contact the vendor and did not receive a response for 3 days.
 Does what it is supposed to do, but instructions are lacking August 4, 2010
Zoey Cole (Charleston, SC, USA)
I bought this to use with the P90X workout series, but I haven't started the workouts yet. I have been using the pull-up bar though and it does feel sturdy. I am a 175lbs male and I workout fairly regularly. Although the bar seems very stable, the grips are cheap and after the first day of usage, one of the grips tore. I am thinking of simply removing them and wrapping the ends of the bars with white athletic tape to provide a non-slip grip.
I do have a couple gripes about the "instructions" (I use that word very loosely), that came with the bar. First, the front of the box says "No need for screws, bolts or fasteners." The first thing I pull out of the box: Screws, anchors, and door brackets. There wasn't any instructions on when you would need to use these or when it would advise it to be safe to not use them. The instructions simply show you how to use the door brackets when mounting the bar. Secondly, there are 10 long screws in total, 8 which the instructions simply label as "D" and the remaining 2 which it labels as "E." The pictures in the instructions are horrendous so you can't tell the difference between D and E. After staring at the screws way too long, I finally figured out the 2 "E" screws' threading don't go all the way to the head of the screw. Phew! Next issue is that there is only a picture to tell you how to put the various segments of the bar together. I finally just looked at the picture on the box, which seems to have had its copy written by a 3rd grader who couldn't figure out which way they wanted to spell and capitalize the word chin-up, and determined the proper fitting. If the two U-shaped handles are facing you, piece #1 goes in front of the two pieces labelled #2, the #3s goes into the ends of the #2s, #5 goes on top of the joined #2/3 pieces, and the two #4 pieces go on top of the two #3 pieces.
If your door frame is made from a softer wood, I would still recommend putting something between the long bar that goes across the door opening and the frame to prevent it from making an impression (or a circular impression by the end of the U-shaped handle if that is resting on the door frame). I simply took a clean cut of the box, folded it in half, and put that between the frame and the unit. This seems to work well for me.
Overall, I think this is a great product that was just rushed into packaging to make a quick buck off the P90X craze, and if they put just a tad more effort into the instructions (how am I supposed to use this for push-ups and crunches?), then it would have given a much better first impression on its quality. I'm giving it three stars because once you get past the items you're going to throw away after the first day, it's a solid piece of equipment that I do actually like using, but they could have done a better job on the grips.
 Good Price / Fast Delivery August 4, 2010

Good price, and delivery was very quick. I think the delivery time frame given was way off and could have been more specific, but overall still pleased. The equipment arrived and three of the end-caps were damaged, however once I contacted ProSource, the sent replacement caps at no additional charge.

This product shipped in mint condition except for the screws and nuts that came with it. It seemed as though the metal on the nuts melted so that it was impossible to screw them on to the screws. Minimal problem but overall im satisfied.

a little hassle to assemble because of all the parts, but once complete it's great!
