I needed a weight rack for a lot of lose weights i had for working out. I liked the quality i got for my money, it works perfect for me. Does not hold 45 lb olympic plates but for what i needed it was just fine. Fast shipping, put together (easy).

This thing is perfect for what I needed. It's small and sturdy. I've got 200 lbs on it now and it can take more weight easily.

Not much that I can say in a review for a weight tree. This thing does exactly what it's supposed to. It's sturdy, wasn't too hard to put together, and holds a solid number of plates. The bars are a little close together so it can be difficult to maneuver too many larger plates, but for most collections it should be fine. The bottom peg is too cramped for anything larger than 2.5s or 3s in my experience, though some 5s may be small enough depending on the brand.

This stand/rack does what I need it to do, holding standard and olympic weight plates of 2-10 lbs. However, it arrived with poor assembly instructions and it was bent in a few places, and I had to bend it back to get it put together. Clearly a foreign manufacturing job with little oversight. But it suits my needs perfectly.

The rack arrived in a box that looked like it was retrieved from a dumpster. All the assembly hardward was missing. I'm waiting for the company to ship me some replacement hardware. In the mean time, I put the unit together using some bolts I had at home. It appears to do the job. I have about 30 plates in 10-5-2.5 lbs that I use on dumbbells and it holds them all. Some reviewers have commented about the center post: I was not able to install it without the head of the bolt scraping the floor. Maybe when I get the correct hardware it will work? I rate the product 3 stars based on 1 star for packaging/delivery and 5 stars for function: average is 3 stars.

This is a pretty good piece for a budget home gym.

I recently moved out into the country, so I can no longer go to the gym every day. As such, I had to work on my home gyme.

Since I already spent a ton of money on weights and my bench, I decided to save a bit of money and purchase this bad boy.

Here's the thing, it is what it is. First off, it came with shoddy welding. So I have to call in and get a replacement part. I left a message with their customer support (which was offline during their alleged business hours), and they never got back to me. I still have yet to get in contact with them.

So, in the mean time I am using the stand without one of the legs. Storage-wise, it is mediocre. My girlfriend made me get vinyl weights due to chemicals, or some blather. And each run stores three weights. That is a bit annoying since I have 4 of each size. Thus I still have to leave 2 plates of 2 separate sizes on the ground.

On the plus, it is small and can be placed in your workout nook without much shifting. And, of course, it is affordable.

Note that I use this for DUMBBELL weights. If you are trying to use a barbell, avoid this rack. It will not fit your weights. The distance between bars is not adequate enough.

In conclusion, for dumbbell weights, it is a usable budget rack. But be careful about what you actually need as to what this will provide.

Got this plate rack to organize my home gym. It showed up on time and was easy to put together.

This stand is good for tight spaces and has held up well for the few months I've been using it (it has around 130lbs of 10lb and smaller plates stacked on it), other than some small scratches on the posts from taking the weight plates on and off. It looks nice and was easy to assemble. It arrived missing one small piece, but a call to the manufacturer's 800 number got the part quickly and politely shipped free to me.

FYI: the largest plate you'll probably be able to get comfortably onto the central vertical post is a 5-pounder. A 10-pound plate might just fit, depending on the brand, but it might also bang into the bolt heads of the lower horizontal posts.

Small yet efficient. Great price and serves it's purpose effectively. Pleased with purchase, easy assembly. Gave this as a Father's Day gift and recipient was just as pleased.

This was exactly what we were looking for to clean up the plates that my husband had laying around our workout room. It was extremely easy to put together and works great.
