Very heavy duty, high quality, easy assembly, unbelievable value for the money. I'm very happy to have purchased and very pleasantly surprised. Would highly recommend. UPDATE: After my first use my opinion is cemented. This is a very well engineered piece. I can now, again allow the bar to sit back and low on my back, which is my preferred position to 'set' my back/spine alignment to my liking, regardless of my bad right shoulder.. I am extremely happy with my purchase.
