We are a little disappointed by this purchase. The connections between the barres and the legs aren't very sturdy. We have had to tighten the screws several times. I'm afraid to tighten too much for fear of stripping the wood. One leg keeps twisting, we will have to make repairs or modifications to it to make it stay in place. The base of the legs aren't wide enough or something because it will tip over if my daughter leans into her stretches very much. I would not recommend this item for a serious ballerina. 3 stars
