This is a great product. I purchased it for my youth room at the church. I have never installed one before and it was easier than I expected. It has a really solid construction and I am happy with the fact that I can extend it (if needed) by purchasing my own pipe as previously mentioned. I don't know why anyone would want to purchase one of those high dollar ones as I cannot imagine them being any better than this. It even looks good.Further review: I just went back to the product and looked at it again on Amazon. Wow, the price has gone up and the reviews I read (which were good) are gone. I am now the only one. Still a great product but I did not pay but half of the one fifteen listed.
