Disclaimer: Just a home person who loves lifting so please be patient with the review and terms. Hopefully it's helpful to someone in a similar place, learning on their own as they go. My limited knowledge is from purchasing and trying on my own (it does work) so that might explain any inadequate descriptions or terminology that you may find below. I have done this before, but this is a second time building a gym because of a move and loss of gym space. Last time was in person, this time is online. Much different. I hadn't even known there were different bar length options because I just got what was in the store and it all worked fine.The barbell bar is as advertised. It's good. No issues with the construction, product or delivery. Clips were included. (They had a tie wrap on them, binding them firmly in the " spring" position. This seemed a bit wasteful of resources but also pointless and unsafe. If yours arrive the same, be very careful when cutting that off. It's under tension and will go flying fast through the air!)I have a smaller sized bar holder and bench (because of a small space to put it in), so I ordered the 5 ft. and it is far too small for the barbell stand. I did have an oversight, even though I measured, I was looking at gym stuff for so long that I had a brain lapse over the 5 ft being too short for the rack and was only thinking about the small space it needed to fit in.The 5 ft bar can only sit on the rack IF it sits further over to one side, without any weights on it. So, the part where the weight would be is where it has to sit (on one of the sides) to stay up there at all. If you do it this way only one of the safety latches can go over the bar since it is 2" thick there and the safety latch can't accommodate that.The 5 ft bar is good for a very small space if you can store it without a bench stand. (There are vertical stands, maybe that would be an option. I haven't tried one but it's a thought if someone needs a small space solution.)The space I am working with is pretty small, but I do still wish I had gone up a size because it definitely would have worked. And it would have fit the rack properly and safely.In a petless, kidless micro space, the 5 ft could be ideal. Would be a nice tiny home option.This IS the bar. Just look at dimensions and get the correct size.

Love this bar, needed a new bench and power clean bar works great make sure you order some good clips.

Overall a decent EZ bar weight is good, knurling is decent for good grip that won’t chew up your hands or gloves. I would say it’s a great value for the money with good build quality for the price.

The bar is an excellent choice for body builder. I'm a senior citizen it's great for me. Price and delivery was good.

Good

This IA a very large barbell weighing 45 lbs. It's solid and strong, unfortunately I did a poor job of reading the description and it's too large for my equipment. For those that need Olympic size theis would be a great choice

The bar isn't bad, but after only a couple of months the brass brushing that's shown prominently in the listing images has already come loose. I do have to store it vertically standing up due to the space I have but I wouldn't expect gravity be a problem.

It sits in my garage gathering dust with other equipment. Occasionally I dust if off and pretend I am going to get swole. It continues to shine like the day it was delivered.There are a dozen exercises I do with this and it performs very well. It rolls easily, and despite the abuse, hasn't tarnished or discoloured. I ran over it once and did not bend it. I hit it with the lawn mower* and it did not chip. I think it would be a great addition to anyone's gym. Inside or outside. Real or infrequent.* thankfully, the lawn mower wasn't on. But the sound of sharp metal running across it scared me that I had certainly impaled the bar. I did not. It is a very tough piece of metal.
