Valor FitnessCA-17 Wall Mount for Heavy Punching Bag/Boxing Bag

First this is one of those moments when I wish there were half stars. The overall here is in fairness 3.5 stars. Not, mind you, because of the quality of the item which is (so far) pretty impressive.The Good: The bag rack is really heavy duty, claims that it can *when installed correctly* (more on this later) support 300#. I believe it. The steel is very heavy gauge with very even heavy welds. Its clearly heavier duty that both the bag rack it replaced and one that I bought and returned before getting the valor rack. The piece is modular which theoretically makes it much easier to hang. It all bolts together with several 3/8 inch bolts and lock nuts and washers. The Rack is also very nicely powder coated a flat black, looks good, coating is even and clean. The Nuts bolts and washers arrived shrink-wrapped to cardboard backers that tell you the spec of the item so no guessing which bolt/nut combo goes where. Except…The Bad: first, I’m not a stickler on these things but the box had seen better days, definitely been dropped and thrown and opened and re-taped maybe more than once.The real problem and this actually is a problem is that mine arrived without any paper work, no instructions at all, nothing, nada, zip. So to be clear its 30 or 40 nicely indexed small items e.g. wall anchors, washers, nuts bolts… and like 5-6 big pieces. Which have to go together correctly so as not to be a hazard and NO INSTRUCTIONS AT ALL. Luckily I'm pretty handy and was quickly able to figure it out, but seriously? No instructions? No manufacturer info? No spec sheet? Nothing just a broken cardboard box…Btw if you’re interested. Key is to figure out where you want everything and mount the vertical piece first. Another tip, when you mount the cross tie, make sure that you’ve inserted the small carriage bolts through from the wall side prior to hanging.Hope this helps.

Very sturdy comes with hardware for concrete so I had to get bolts for wooden studs. Definitely would recommend to someone looking to upgrade from a cheap wall mount.

Excellent addition to my garage gym. Durable and sturdy. Recommended to it a bunch of friends already. Just be careful which wall you tap into because the bolts are long and may go through. I found out the hard way :)

Even though it’s supoosed to support the bag and was installed properly in the studs, the mount ripped out of the wall

Perfect!!! Was considering a stand up but after reading the reviews and size for the great price, I decided to try this product. It came earlier than expected and was easy to install. It's been up for over a month now and have not had any problems. Thank you!!!

I was a little worried after reading a few reviews but I love it. Mounted into studs and it's as sturdy as should be expected.

Handles my 50# canvas bag with no problem. No room in house so attached it to the back side of my storage building. Take bag out of building , walk to back , hang bag and workout. Take bag off , replace in shed. Done.

So far...so good.It's holding up well.
