In general you pay a premium but you get what you pay for. The wood is of good quality and seems to be able to withstand the abuse a calisthenics athlete would put it through :> On a different note, accessories seem to be spot on. Both compression sleeves and wrist wraps have been an integral part of my workout. One issue might be your storage, for example some of the weights in the 20KG vest I bought were starting to rust on the edges, presumably because wherever they were stored was damp. This however was swiftly resolved by the support team, promptly offering monetary reimbursement or store credit, even though the weight vest itself is still functional. Impeccable service as always!
