AmazonBasics DIP BAR Dip Bar Reviews Summary

Assembly

Pros:

• "Assembly is straight forward and I put it together in under 10 minutes."
• "Assembly was very easy to follow took about 10 minutes in total, Very stable and comfortable to use not too wide and not too shallow."
• "I assembled this easily. All parts accounted for including a couple extra screws."
• "Came very fast and easy to put together."
• "Took around 10 minutes to assemble. Very well labelled. All parts included."
• "This dip fitness bar was very easy to put together. Everything is provided, but I did use a pair of scissors to cut the bubble wrap from the parts."
• "Only took 10 mins to build you probably can strip it down for storage but this would be annoying but depending on what space you have it can be done if needed."

Cons:

• "Failure to send all the parts required for assembly and refused to send the missing parts!"
• "Only complaint is, there was a spiky piece of metal on the leg part of the dip bar which scratched me and caused a small bleeding wound on my finger so better quality control needed."
• "The bars are not adjustable and the plastic feet they give you have very sharp corners."
• "It’s missing at least 3 major screws and 3 screw caps."
• "Only issue I had was upon assembly was that the bars fit 'strange' since you may have to find the best fit for screws."
• "The screws that hold the feet together are cheap and fall out."
• "I received this product without any of the needed bolts to put together (pieces C, D, and E)."

Sturdiness & Size

Pros:

• "The stand is very solid, sturdy and easy to assemble."
• "The dip bar is sturdy and can handle my body weight (168lbs) no problem."
• "This dip bar has been by far the best fitness equipment purchase I've ever made. It's easy to assemble and solid as a rock as long as you're not rocking and swaying during your lifts."
• "It's a sturdy bar and it fits my 6'9 height and long body perfectly without any problems."
• "Great sturdy product."
• "This thing is very sturdy."
• "It's built pretty solid but it does have a tendency to sometimes slightly wobble when exercising, even though I tightened the hell out of the nuts during assembly."

Cons:

• "Its heavier/bulkier than I had expected from the pictures, but a study piece of equipment. Easy enough to set up, but definitely not a piece of equipment that can be disassembled and reassembled in a short amount of time."
• "Came with rusty pipe ends and it had a few scratches indicating it was a return but i kept it."
• "The one problem with it is that the bars are too far apart to perform a proper dip."
• "It's bigger than I expected, but it's pretty easy to stow away."
• "The width of the bars can’t be adjusted, and it’s a little wider than I’d prefer, but it gets the job done."
• "Another slight annoyance is that it doesn't sit perfectly flat, so I find myself having to carefully re-position the bar and watch my form while exercising."
• "The only flaw that I can see, is that it is assembled with nuts and bolts. With this being the case, it does not go through a normal size door jamb."

Value & Versatility

Pros:

• "This is a great product for balance, dips, pulls, abs, etc. It is sturdy and doesn’t take up a ton of room."

• "It’s quite big. Takes a lot of room."
• "This is a large piece of equipment that can’t be folded up and placed out of the way when not in use."
