Finish is a nice, textured powder coat, but the inside isn't coated so they could rust over time. Mine had surface rust inside right out of the box.
Tube steel is thick enough that it seems it will be strong enough to support the rated 350lb, but it is light enough to easily handle. Knocked down it doesn't take up much space. The pieces do have a bit of slack and wobble around when unloaded, but once loaded and strapped down the wobble goes away.
Be advised, loading a couple hundred pounds cantilevered way back of your car /truck, will make your rear suspension squat far more than the same weight in the inside the car/bed. Overloading the rear suspension unloads the front suspension, and reduces braking and steering. Bigger concern on cars and jeeps with soft suspension than on pickup trucks. Be safe out there.

The finish is very good, pretty heavy overall and is very sturdy. The hooks on the end work great for adding a red flag and to secure the end of my kayaks.
My only suggestion to the manufacturer is to change the color.
Black looks pretty sharp, but when you are driving on a sunny day be sure to wear gloves when you disconnect and store it because this thing gets hot. Wish it were something lighter and more visible like a bright green or orange.
Only other suggestion would be to add some reflectors to the end.
Other than that, this thing is awesome.
Update:
Because it gets hot on a sunny day, I took an extra large pool noodle, cut a slit in it and fit the noodle over the end and used long wire ties to secure it to the t-bar end. The kayaks sit on the pool noodle instead of the black metal t-bar.
-One hefty piece when assembled. Easy to insert into hitch, fold open, and secure. Appears to be thoughtfully designed.
-Heavy duty, unlikely to bend or break.
-Meets online description, nothing in advertisement is misleading.
-Made kayak loading/unloading much easier than overhead. Also cuts wind resistance so I can travel highway speeds.
-Cheaper, easier to load than many "mainstream" overhead racks.
Cons:
-Limited height adjustment. Fit my truck perfectly but may be difficult for trucks with lift kit to match bed height to crossbar extension.
Final comment:
-Excellent product for my needs. I have a Nissan Frontier with 5 foot bed. Really stabilizes 14 foot kayak overhang. Would recommend to others with similar needs..
