Perfect... I was worried as the picture makes it look thin, However, its very strong and stable. takes a minute to arrange which plates fit where but after that its a great item

i use this weight tree to store around 300 lbs of olympic plates. i have 2 45s and 2 35s on the side with two pegs, 2 25s, 4 10s and 4 5s on the 3 peg side, and 4 more 10s and 4 2.5s on the middle pegs. it holds this weight easily, but has a bit of wobble to it and is a tad bent in on one side. it still feels more than solid enough to hold what i have on it, although im not sure i would be trying to put 500 lbs on it. the pegs are hollow and not solid, but still are welded on securely and well. setting it up took very little time, and only needed a few tools and no help from anyone else. it came in 3 pieces with nuts and bolts to put the main tree into the two legs, which was easy due to the squared end screws. overall it works well for my home gym setup.

I was looking for a simple and sturdy weight rack and this is it. While viewing it online I was a little unsure but once I got it I had no doubts it was perfect. Holds more then enough weight and was easy to put together.

It has longer tubes, more tubes, and can hold more weight. It's, maybe 6" taller than the other one though, if that matters to you. The tubes come already welded on, but, with the other CAP tree, you have to attached the tubes with bolts. Get this one instead.

Easy install. No problems with spacing between the weights. Remember
These are for olympic weights not standard. Big pegs-big hole = 2".

Solid construction, easy assembly. Fits up to 4 45lb plates, 4 35lb, on the left side; and 4 25lb, 4 2.5lb on the right. I put the 5s and 10s in the center. Holds all the weight you'd need in a home gym.

Bought this to free up some space on the floor from my olympic weight plates. Works great, makes my gym look more organize and saves me time from searching for different plates.

I am so pleased with this weight rack. Several years ago I tried to find a cost effective rack for my 400 lb Olympic free weights and gave up as I thought the prices were too high. I cobbled something together out of wood but not being exactly a Master Carpenter my results weren't pretty but very cheap and mostly functional. Recently I finally got sick of the thing and renewed my search and found this rack. The price looked really good (much better than anything I had seen a few years back), the quality looked good and with Amazon Prime it shipped for free. It showed up in 3 days from the order and I had it assembled in 15 minutes. It bolts together with 4 nuts and bolts with just a simply metric wrench (I think it was 17mm). Looks great in the home gym although I would have preferred it to be white versus black to better match my bench press. In any case I am very satisfied with this purchase.

We really like the Olympic Plate Rack, it is exactly what we wanted. It is sturdy and well balanced. Thank You.

Construction is nice and solid, assembly was very easy. Just one problem, The spacing between the 5's and 10's is not quite enough. I have Olympic weights from a variety of common manufacturers, and with several of the brands, the 5's and 10's will not fit on the tree together; they hit each other so that they cannot get past. If they had an extra 1/4 of an inch of space between the 5's and 10's, it would be a great tree, but if common brands of weights will not fit on it, it fails of its basic purpose.
