We are going to have to buy sandbags to weigh it down, and the instructions are little more than a diagram with VERY tiny print. We're talking 'I took a photo of the diagram so I could magnify the image on my phone and figure out what I'm looking at' tiny.Those are my complaints.THAT said, I got it as a Christmas gift for my fiancé, and he loves having it. It's easy to fold up, and (dis)assemble, once you know what you're doing. The adjustable height is ideal for our low ceiling, and it holds the bag well. I'm not sure what weight bag it is, and I'm not sure how to tell, so not much help on the "how much weight does it hold" front. Sorry.All in all, it was worth the purchase. Just make sure you have counter weights, cuz it does not stand up well once he gets going..
