Parallettes are low parallel bars. They are for support work: dips, L-sits, tuck planches, handstands. Both sets here are steel from Rogue. Neither is wood.
Bolt-together
The bolt-together pair is 14 in high, weighs 32 lb as a pair, and uses 11-gauge 2x2 in steel with rubber feet. You assemble it. The feet are the reason to pick it if the floor scuffs.
Formed
The formed pair is one bent tube, 13.5 in high, 7 lb each, with nothing to assemble. The page suggests them when you want something you can move. They are half the height difference of an inch and much lighter.
