Very pleased so far. Steel is about what you would expect, but the powder coating is a bit slippery. I find I have to use more chalk than usual for it. Other than that, it does have a few nice extras that make this rig standout. First, all the j-cup holes are numbered. Brilliant! Why don't more people do this?? Second, the j-cups themselves are just over-the-top. Very fancy. Does it add to the functionality of them? No, but they look nice, so why not? My biggest criticism has more to do with the listing on the website than the item itself. The drop down menus do not show this, but the rig comes with 6' crossbars standard, with 4' available. This should just be made an option when ordering the rig. I ended up with an ordering snafu that Vulcan did help me solve, but totally could have been avoided with a better website design.
