Ballet Barre Portable for Home or Studio, Freestanding Adjustable Bar for Stretch, Balance, Pilates, Dance or Active Workouts, Well-Balanced with Non-Slip Fit, Kids and Adults

This barre is sturdy.It's made of metal hand rails painted to look like wood and has very heavy and sturdy metal stands that lie on your floor.It comes complete with all the parts you need and if you're like me you can mostly do it yourself,although you may want a second person to help with minor adjustments as well as getting the rails where they belong.This Barre has two sets of rails and they adjust in two different ways.Each one slightly changes the functionality of how you use it.I am a chubby Barre teacher and I teach different classes every day using the Barre.I teach a more classic class that uses it frequently.You can if you position this barre right do fold-overs and chair pulses which is a functionality I find most portable barres and chairs or other substitutes lack.The problems people seem to have with many portable barres is that people don't use them correctly,they grab and pull off the Barre and although this is sturdy you can't pull off it,for that you need the reinforced walls studios have.(But pulling off a Barre to do waterski feels so damaging anyway and is a skill you can teach during the floor portion of class called thigh dancing.Thigh dancing allows people far more control and allows Barre to be taught in many different places including community centers,parks and beaches.)What I am looking forward to is taking this barre back into my public classes so people can see and feel it for themselves.Tips: Follow the well written instructions especially about exactly where to place the non skid pads,wrong placement could make this barre feel less sturdy to the touch than it actually is.Make sure you divide the left and right insertion points as soon as you get the Barre,it helps make assembly much easier.If you don't use an allen wrench much it works completely different than you think it will,the smaller portion is what applies the tork to it.Watch how you put the Barre together,if you do it wrong you will have a highly visible button in the front where you don't want it to be seen.Have another person help you check that all the pertinent points are tighter than you think you will need them to be,even the best person applies a little too much pressure to the Barre sometimes!

Un peu cher quand à l’arrivée on constate que l’acier est rayé mais cela reste un bon produit. La barre est en acier imitation bois.Livraison en avance.

Got this for my girlfriend. She says its more stable than the bars at her school, but I think its still more wabbly than I think it should be. Nice part is that if you leave the legs a little loose, you can swing them to the side for easy storage. The faux wood design is nice. We got the white version and some of the white paint chipped off pretty fast.

la barre est jolie mais côté solidité c'est bof, je l'ai d'ailleurs revendue !les visses sur les côtés se desserrent sans arrêt, les rondelles sont en caoutchouc très fragile, les finitions des 2 parties qui maintiennent la barre sont pas très ajustées

Very responsive and helpful customer service. There are holes one side of the horizontal bars that are not required for assembly. The directions showed the holes too so I thought they were required! I contacted customer service and they explained to me that they were made for the powder coating process and were not required and future directions are being modified. Sure enough it assembled just fine! I would have given 5 stars for everything but I knocked a star off for the directions.
