3B Scientific Eucalyptus Wood Stall Bar

The product arrived on time, and was well packaged.Assembly was a bit difficult (I did it without help) because the rungs fit very tightly in the holes: Sometimes I needed the help of some sand paper and a rubber mallet, but it was not too bad at all (as some of the previous reviewers wrote). The wood is very pretty and the stall bar is aesthetic, and looks good on our bedroom wall. I have been using it for two days only quite intensively and so far it feels quite strong.All together, this a good product for a very reasonable price.One more comment: When installed on dry wall, you may want to find where the studs are and drill a couple extra holes in the two horizontal wooden bars that attach the stall bar to the wall so that screws can be run into the studs for extra safety.

Not strong enough on top bar. It bends on a 100lb person. Too cheap of equipment. Wasted money spent, not functional

I use these bars for back exercise, including hanging. Very sturdy. I had someone assemble them, but he thought it was fairly easy to assemble, needed to buy more wood glue though, and he thought it was overall a good design.I am pleased with them.

I've wanted stall bars for many years, but was never able to afford them. Living in Hawaii, very few companies are willing to ship products outside the continental U.S., without charging more for shipping, than the product actually cost. I love Amazon! Super Saver shipping rules. I was a bit skeptically about ordering this set of stall bars, seeing that they were made of eucalyptus wood and cost half of what other companies were asking. Most stall bars are made of oak or other hard woods. I did some research and decided to dive in, once I found out that shipping was free, and that eucalyptus wood is solid. The package arrived within just a few days without any signs of damage. The product itself is gorgeous. Assembly is required, but doesn't take long at all with two people. All pieces fit together perfectly, with all mounting hardware included. Don't forget to apply a little wood glue prior to inserting the rungs into the pre-drilled holes. This keeps them from spinning. I chose to use a standard 2"x4" piece of lumber along the wall, to ensure that I'd be secured into as many wall studs as possible. It was really easy to then place the assembled stall bars over the wood and finish the mount. The pull-up bar measures 7'10" from the floor, and is the perfect height for my 5'11", 165 pound frame. I thoroughly tested the product by performing pull-ups, hanging leg raises, human flags, decline push-ups, handstand push-ups, and dragon pulls. I love this thing and wish I could've afforded it sooner. To anyone wondering wheither or not this set of stall bars is worth the money, the answer is a resounding YES! Hurry up an buy a set, before they increase the price or decide not to ship to Hawaii.

I'm glad I found this Stall Bar on Amazon. It's significantly cheaper than any other stall bar I found online. To have this excellent training device was my dream for a long time (it's available in any sport gym in Russia, but is quite rare in the US.)Construction seems to be sturdy and elegant.What is pretty bad, though, how they prepare parts of stall bar for assembly. End parts of the step bars were not adjusted enough to insert inside round holes in side parts. It was extremely hard to insert them. I succeed in doing that only by using supplied bolts to actually press steps inside side parts. Even making side parts close enough for nuts to engage with bolts was hard.So, I would give five stars for device itself, but one or two stars for how it was prepared for an assembly.There is another thing which I dislike, though. When I used a stall bar in a park in Moscow 30 years ago, rungs of that ladder weren't round, they had almost flat front surface (rounded just a bit) and the distance between rungs was bigger, I believe. As a result, when I raised my legs while hanging on a stall bar, my back was supported by *flat* parts of rungs. So, it wasn't painful at all to fully raise legs and to even turn upside down. I did it a lot, it was a superb training. With round rungs it is painful, unfortunately.I'm thinking about writing to my relatives living in Moscow and asking them to took pictures and exact measures of that stall bar (it's still standing!), so I would made an exact copy by myself here in Maryland.

The wood finish is nice, but there was no way to actually assemble the unit as the poles (bars) would not fit into the holes. Either the poles swelled up or the holes swelled down - or it's just manufactured wrong - but in order to assemble this I will have to take the outside 1/2" edge of each pole down with a belt sander. Seems a simple issue to get right as a manufacturer, but it was wrong on my unit. I'll fix this up and put it together - but wow, what a lot of work.That said, the wood is quite nice, the finish fairly nice and it seems a strong value for the price. But could they please make it easier to assemble?
