APEX S2 (No Holes)

It's super expensive for what it is: two U-shaped pieces of metal and a plank. Given the steep price I was expecting something sturdy. The plank looks cheap, so I'm hoping it will live long enough to not make the whole device useless. The metal parts, while sturdy enough, were somewhat crooked so that one of the pads that should rest on the door frame is at an angle. The whole thing twists a lot when I hang from it, which is to be expected according to the manual, but given that I weigh 150 pounds, I seriously doubt it can hold up to 300. I'll update my review after of few months, but so far it doesn't look too good, especially for a hundred bucks. EDIT - Actually I'm just gonna return it and build a wooden frame to replace it. It'll be cheaper and sturdier.

Several problems with this thing. It's legit piece of garbage and not worth your money or safety. I ordered mine 2-3 years ago and just busted it back out due to COVID 19 quarantine. It's still as crappy as I remember. 1 - My order was missing bolts and didn't have any assembly instructions with it. While it's not rocket science to assemble, it would've been nice to know I have the bolts, washers, etc fastened per THEIR SPECS. Not my own specs and bolts. I sent an email to blank slate but never heard back. 2 - The side plates that touch the sides of the frame are so sketchy. I'm afraid the bolts are going to break, side plates fly off, and I'll smash my skull with the board. I weigh 190 lbs so I expect it to flex... but it is not flexing in a way that seems reasonable at all. I never liked this aspect of this board. Generally speaking, it's a good idea, but terrible execution and company support in my opinion. My order seemed incomplete and never hearing back from blank slate when I reached out is why they get 1 star. Literally only writing this review because I got so frustrated having dug this thing out and realizing how terrible it is. Desperate times quarantined call for desperate measures. If the side plates break like I think they might, I'll be sure to post a picture of my fractured skull.
