    I agree that the requirement of brackets should be mentioned in the product description. However, everything you need is included comes included and the most damage it will do is three small screw holes on either side of the doorframe. It should also be noted that the bar itself is very easy to fit and remove from the brackets, as it is telescopic, and the brackets themselves are quite unobtrusive.

    I give this product five stars as it is very cheap, portable, and ultimately very beneficial to your body. I'd much rather have one of these than a lat pulldown machine in my house, they're the real monstrosities...

    Design and installation:
    On opening the packaging, everything was in place and a brief instruction sheet shows you a rather long-winded way of measuring where to place the supports and shows instructions for the exercises you can do with the bar.

    The bar itself comes in a bag and is soaked (or mine was!) with oil so job one is to remove the oil which is literally running from between the two halves of the bar and clean the thing up. This isn't plug and play! The end supports also needed a clean, and I gave them a polish too to get a better match to the shininess of the bar.

    Installation is a snap but is let down by two things:

    Firstly, the screws supplied are very soft and it's all too easy to chew the head on them if you've just used a bradawl to start them off. While the lack of a pilot hole is going to maximize the strength of the screws, you could drill 1-1.5mm pilot holes if you liked, or alternatively supply your own higher quality countersunk screws! If you have a particularly tough door frame, you'll definitely need pilot holes. The screws provided really are bad.

    Secondly, the end plates are thin and this means that there is no recess for the screw heads to produce a flush finish inside. If your chinning bar is going up and staying up this won't be a problem, but otherwise you will find that the proud edges of the screws will chew the rubber on the ends of the bar as you tighten and loosen it.

    Apart from that, it's a cheap and cheerful product that does what it's supposed to do. Would it be better than a bar that grips using pressure alone? I'm not sure, and I'm not buying one to find out :-D I opted for this bar on the basis of the screwed end caps to avoid any possible shortcoming of ones without - like falling off.

    Arrived ahead of estimate, solid construction and yes the brackets and screws came with it. Large silver brackets (rather like tea-light candle holders) and also two smaller plastic ones for screwing lower to the ground for sit ups (feet go underneath the bar).

    I agree, that if you are house-proud that two silver discs sticking out slightly either side at the top of the doorway are not going to enhance your home much but i will be fitting mine in the garage door for that reason.

    Also it says in the instruction leaflet: maximum weight 95kg (207Ibs) 15 Stone. I'm not far off that so it won't last me long. Will try to upload a photo of the fittings for folks!

    You don't get many pieces of gym equipment that are as effective and inexpensive as a chinning bar. I'm female and quite fussy about what gets installed into our home so I am truly puzzled as to those who reject this item for aesthetic reasons! It is easy to install, and once the small unobtrusive brackets have been put into place you can fit the telescopic bar or remove it as you wish. Using it has improved my upper body strength no end, and after a hard day at work I also find that just hanging from the bar to relax my shoulders is very soothing. My boyfriend likes it too, so it gets used a lot; it has proved sturdy, reliable and well up to the job. It's a good, unobtrusive bit of kit and if you just want a no fuss, no bells-and-whistles way of improving upper body strength, this is the thing for you.

    ITS A CHEAP AND VERY WELL BUILT ITEM PEOPLE!

    It seems that there are some real dim wits out here trawling the iternet looking for bargains; well this is one! Ignore the clowns who have got refunds on this item or are incapable of putting this up.

    Yes you DO NEED a door frame, and YES you do need to make 6 tiny holes to accomadate the brackets!
    If you don't want to make the holes DONT BUY IT! simple as that, even if you decide you want to completly remove the mount brackets there is something called 'wood filler', this will easily cover the holes, ready for repainting.
    Once the brackets are up the bar expands by unscrewing it, expanding it to fit snug in between the brackets. This means it can be easily removed after use if required.

    Whats in the box -
    *Plastic bag containing ALL the necessary screws and plugs for it to be used as a sit up bar.
    *2 x Metal Brackets (these need screwing into the frame)
    *1 x instructions with step by step assembly + warnings for people with lack of common sense.
    *1 x Bar itself ( Very weighty and quality item).

    I think people should stop moaning about this quality item especially when its priced like this.
    There are many variations of the door frame bar, this I happen to think is one of the better kinds.
