Title: Solid but a pain
Review: Okay, it's very sturdy if mounted properly. And the little turning rivets in the brackets keep it from ever slipping out in use. The little rivets rotate down and LOCCk the pentagram shaped end in place.HOWEVER... how many people have ever had the problem of a chin-up bar slipping UP and off the brackets while in use? I think this is a feature put in more for liability purposes than any real-world need.The upshot is, you have to wrestle with the thing EVERY single time you take it down. Since I have it up in a regular doorway we need to use, this is a serious drawback. The mechanism is very effective -- meaning it just fights you every time you want to take it down. It's not a lot of fun and frankly not something you would want to wrestle with every day. Get one of the bars with a round-end, unless you're prepared to leave the bar up pretty much indefinitely.
