Over all it's a nice, sturdy, pretty good looking unit for storing your weights. However I have one rather significant beef with it. The distance between the top two pipes is about ¼" too short! I have a set of Body Solid rubber coated weights in 45, 35, 25, 10, 5 and 2 ½ pound increments - pretty standard load out. The 45s and 35s on the bottom no problem, then the 25s and 10s, no problem. However, nothing can fit on the top pipe above the 25 pound plates - even the little 2 ½ inch weights hit the 25 pounders below. Rather annoying given both the weights and the tree come from the same manufacturer. It's not the end of the world and I just keep the 2 ½ pounders on the floor since I don't use them much anyway but the purpose of the tree was to get them all nicely stacked. Not sure if the weights are just a pinch larger than normal because of the rubber coating or if the tree itself is a little short - I don't have another set of weights to test against.

Good product. Decent delivery time and package. Get's the job done.

Compact and out of the way. We like that it has two pole holder slots.

Cons: one of the top pole slots for weights is useless on a side note. No matter how you arrange the weights, one top peg can't fit weights because it is too close to any weight you place on the second tier peg on one side (assuming you have 45 & 35 pounds taking up the bottom two pegs). We have 25 pounds and ten pounds on the 2nd tier pegs... so, above the 25's there is no room for even the 2.5 pounders on top. But, it gave us a slot for all the weight collars we have.

I assumed the top two pegs would be used for 5's & 2.5's, but- whatever. We've got a lot of weights around, so that's kind of a bummer. Just an FYI. I'd still get this for the two bar holder slots on the bottom of the weight tree.

Purchased this to get the weights and bars off the floor. It does a great job. Came in great shape, my teen put it together so it was easy.

If you are looking to keep weight area free from clutter I would purchase this one. I did research and this was the best price and I was very happy with the product quality.

Sturdy, well made, looks nice, reasonably priced. Not much not to like. My only complaint is that the plate holder tubes themselves are not marked or fixed into position in any way except for with a tension screw. Kind of annoying to try and get everything even because of this, but once it's together, it works fine.

Product works great. Well built with an attractive finish. Arrived quickly and at the cheapest price around. The only concern I have is the plate "spacing" (vertically) is tight. Depending on what brand plates you use they may or may not fit diameter wise next to the other plates on the other peg. My set includes 45 and 25lb plates and if you put them on adjoining pegs they barely make it. Perhaps another brand would be more spacious so to speak, but I only have one brand to compare too. Overall very happy with this product.

It works great!! It was easy to assemble. It's very sturdy. It even comes with touch up paint. I suggest this to everybody with a home gym or if you plan on having a home gym.

This piece of equipment is built for life, incredibly strong, sturdy, and honesly the easiest thing that I have ever put together in my life. It literaly took me like 15 minutes, and it was completly done. Only takes one person to put together, and can be done by anyone. Also arrived very fast, excellant delivery!

This is a good strong rack for home use, I have one problem, on one of the legs in the rack that I purchased, the plastic fitting for the end was facing the wrong direction. I ended up cutting it to fit it in.

For the price, it will be tough to find a better weight tree. There is a little assembly required, but not very much (maybe 1/2 hour or so) and very easy to do. Very solid, holds plenty of weight and two Olympic bars, and doesn't take up a lot of floor space either.

If you're in need of a weight tree to help organize your gym, this rack is worth the price

I had no trouble stacking the tree with all the standard size weight disks. It looks great on the floor and it's easy to assemble.

Money well spent.
