DO NOT ASSEMBLE ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS! But is an awesome product otherwise.
Don't go exactly by the instructions, read them and get a gist of what you're supposed to connect and how... then put a few sections together loosely before assembling all together. Basically if you go by the instructions you will end up not being able to get the last screw or two through all the holes it needs to go through because they don't fit right and it will send you on a tizzy eventually. Trust me. I made the mistake of following it exactly and had to take it all appart and just figure it out myself. One star deducted for bad assembly instructions.
The product itself is darned good and holds me at 250+ pounds, even if atm I can't do a full pull-up.
The product now comes with cushions to go over the areas that contact the wood/paint/etc., so the previous people who said they had to put cloth or torn T-shirts over the parts that contact the wood got something good done for once it seems. You no longer have to worry about that part of it. The pads just simply slip over the ends.
