So here we go, I have it for over five years, there have been very heavy workouts on it, it has not caused me the slightest problem neither in the squats nor in the bench press nor anywhere, literally I was very satisfied. To sum up, for someone who wants something small and doesn't take up much space when their space is limited, I would highly recommend it. The only problem after all these years of use is that the two protectors it has have taken a very slight tilt downwards. Essentially, it's not a problem. Of course, there are much better options with more money, but everyone always depends on what they want and what they are looking for.
