Has anyone used Danskin's barbell set?

I saw one on walmart.com and they just got some more in.
It says the bar is padded and the weights are fingernail friendly. It looks as if they are covered in vinyl or something.
This is the site http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=3377251
Just wondering if they are any good. I am also looking at the other barbell set on walmarts site. It is the 55 lb US set and it's black.
Not much info on there about it though.
Thanks so much!:7

I bought the Danskin one just after Christmas. I like it. I have a regular barbell with free weights, but it's in the basement. I do my aerobics videos on the second floor -- I got tired of carrying the darn thing up and down!!

The Danskin one is very comfortable, and it's easy to add and subtract weight. It's not as long as my regular barbell either, which I like. The plates are coated (they took some off some of my wall paint when I rested the bar against the wall), and the padded bar is easy to grip.

I think the maximim weight it can reach is 36 pounds.

I bought mine at Dick's for $49.99.
