Review title: Good quality, not as represented.
Product review: The collars are worthless but I didn't need them going into the purchase. I use spring clip collars. The bar is very well made and of good quality. About 18 lbs. However, it is not as shown. There are only the outer bends. The center ones are not there, just straight. So therefore, there are only a bend above center as depicted in the photo, but no bends below center that are closest to the center of the bar. I kept the bar anyway thinking I'd use it but it has since fallen from favor and I went back to using the other bar which was of lower quality and lighter weight (about 14 lbs.) with one side larger than the other that had to be turned down on a lathe to get the Olympic plates to slide on. But my lower quality bar has all the bends in it, which I was hoping to have replaced with this supposed higher quality bar. Too bad...
