Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I used to be a member, for 7 years of a Barre Workout. However, the prices kept going up, from $100 per month to $160 and increasing before COVID19. I finally had to break with that studio and have been looking for a replacement. I just found a great Barre workout on a streaming service and a week into it, it became clear, I needed a ballet barre. I checked the internet for options. I decided I didn't want to mount the barre in the wall of my house. So, I searched the internet again and found Booty Kicker Ballet Barre. The price was pretty good compared to the other options. The website was clean, transparent and super easy to watch the videos showing various uses. I went to SmileAmazon and they sold the barre with free shipping because I am a Prime Member and I pulled the trigger and ordered the barre. Within days, the barre box was at my front door with "Booty Kicker" written on the outside :) I thought that was fun. The box is about 22lbs. So, I waited for hubby to move the box into the house. Then he was able to set it up by himself. A few days after he set it up, I received the Email from Booty Kicker that we should watch the set up video. I agree, that is what people need to do. Fortunately, my husband is a mechanic, so, he was able to do the set up based on his skills. The barre has a beautiful solid wood barre, just like the ballet barres you would see at any ballet or barre studio. Check! The frame is nicely painted beige/tan color. The hardware on the wooden bar is shiny nickle coated, and the "feet" (like an "L" angle shape frame) are the same beige/tan-very neutral color. I LOVE the "shark fins" on the back frame where I store my barre weights so nicely and out of the way. The barre is long enough for me to hang my towel/mat on it and use it. If you try to hang or pull sideways on the barre, all crazy, it will move, but that is not what barre workout is about. It is sufficient for ballet & barre workout. Kids climbing & jumping on it, b/c it is not fixed to a wall, will cause it to move. But, hey, it is "portable" so... I love this barre so much, ,and the quality of the product, one of my girlfriends has already purchased one for herself based on my say. And, another girlfriend will probably by one for herself. LOVE this product. Using it almost every day. Consider it totally a GREAT purchase!
