I bought this maybe 2mnths ago and it is awesome. Its just as great as all off the other expensive poles that are out there. I way about 150lbs and it supports all of my spins, turns, invert, just EVERYTHING!!!! I'm really glad I bought this it stays in place very well. It has not fallen or moved since I have installed it. My friends come over and we all enjoy getting on it and best thing about it is that it supports your weight
