The construction and materials used are very good, especially at this price point. But there is an design fail.
The straps are fixed with only one buckle on the main strap what end up causing three main problems:
1 - When performing push-up position exercises the junction is very close to the back of the neck and ends up rubbing on it no matter the angle.
2- The height required for the anchor for performing exercises that require more floor distance (like pull-up movements) is well above the average 6 to 9 feet usually required by other suspension systems.
3- As the straps are fixed in a relatively short "v" point, when doing exercises that require wide openings, the angle is too high making them much harder if not impossible (any opening above 120 degrees results in an exponential increase of the load what result in a load).
The last model (discontinued) had a better design than the new model at least on the straps junction
That is my opinion based on the experience I am having with the product. I am still getting used to the exercises and learning, but couldn't find a solution for this design fail even trying different angles or postures on the exercises.
