My barre looks just like this one at Amazon:

I do think the wall mounted bar is the best way to go as well, although the only video I cannot complete with my cardio barre is advanced fluidity, the pullups and the ski moves. I do love my cardio barre but would like a wall mount for flatback.

I will check mine again today on the height. I thought it just went to 12 but if I can set it past that and it holds that would be great. I haven't tried the ski moves yet, are they on the beginner dvd? I do know that being tall I can't do the cobra move where you reach up and grab the bar. The bar is just to high and it would break my back. I think some of these people on the video must have long arms and short legs. Maybe with time I will get flexible enough to do it. I am almost off the mat when I stand with one leg on the bar and I am off the mat with one foot when doing the lunge stretch.

You can't do pull-ups on a cardio barre? Isn't that really just a stand alone barre? That's what I want (I think I may get one from Santa this year He's so good to me ) but I want to be able to do pull-ups with it

You need a barre with serious stability to do pull-ups. Fluidity has heft and those long feet and doesn't shift while you're doing them. A barre with less weight or a smaller less stable base could wobble or tip.
