Customer feedback is mixed on sturdiness: some find the bar sturdy, while others report that the center connection between its two halves loosens over time. Opinions on value are also mixed. The reported connection concern is particularly relevant because the listing describes a two-piece assembly and instructs users to assemble it securely. Ratings lean positive overall, but they do not resolve those specific concerns.
Positive themes
- Some customers describe the bar as sturdy.
- Some customers consider it good value.
Negative themes
- Some customers report that the center piece connecting the two halves loosens over time.
- Some customers feel the bar is not worth the price.
Mixed feedback
- Sturdiness and value for money receive mixed feedback.
