Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this because I figured my 5-year-old Iron Gym could use a replacement. Not that I felt unsafe using it, but just for good measure. I purchased and assembled the "Pro" model of this product. I had to adjust the connections a couple times to get the right fit, with the horizontal bars horizontal to fit my wall thickness and molding thickness, which was fine. A combination of bolt hole options did end up working for my frame/wall situation. So I put some weight on it but saw that the right side would slide down the frame but the left side was relatively firm. I looked closer and the part that rests above the molding was not making contact on one side. So when I put weight on it the part would flex in to touch the wall above the molding, while the handle would lower. Take the weight off, and the part above the molding flexes away on one side while the handle raises back up. I double checked all the connections which were good but I noticed that the 4 "members" were not "square" with each other. I pulled it apart to check the J-bars and it turns out one was bent more than the other one, keeping the whole thing from fitting together square/plumb. Certainly this would not distribute the weight evenly across the door frame and likely either the frame or the pull up bar would end up breaking. The side with the smaller-angle J bar would be taking disproportionate load, over and over and the side with the larger-angle J bar would be flopping around, even with the tinfoil (minor exaggeration) "safety clip". The flexing back and forth demonstrably loosens the bolted connections after only a few loading cycles. I am returning this item because my 5-year-old Iron Gym is of better manufactured quality and is more safe and secure. Perfect Fitness: Please implement some kind of QA/QC program. It looks like several users of your product have already injured themselves. I am not taking the risk. Amazon: Please be careful about the products you recommend or send to the top of the list. The product is rated for 300 lbs but many people are reporting failures of the hardware (which is cheap) or the door frames (which is surely caused by the uneven distribution of forces when the thing is not symmetrical due to inconsistent manufacturing as I have described above). Hopefully this review is useful to Amazon, the vendor and prospective customers alike.
