1.0 out of 5 stars Snapped in Half Before I put Any Weights On It, April 26, 2010

I needed a stand for my weights, and the OWT24 EZ was the top result on Amazon, with decent reviews, so I figured it would be a good bet.

I was wrong.

After assembly I took it to my workout room and set it down. I pushed down on it from the top to make sure it was stable (I have a rubber floor in my weight room), and it snapped in half right where the lower leg attaches to the longer leg. I literally pushed down with less than 10 pounds of weight. The break occurred at the weld between the end of the lower leg and its attached bolt plate (where the bolts go through to hold the two legs together). I assume that it was just a bad weld job.

Anyway, I immediately went down and got the warranty paper that came with it. It said that they would replace the product if it broke. But it also said buyer had to pay for shipping. Considering that this is a 25lb item, that would be relatively costly, especially since the entire thing is only $43.

Rather than deal with the hassle of returning and waiting for a new one I just welded it back together. It isn't as pretty, but I am sure it will hold together now. But for anyone that either doesn't have their own welding equipment, or doesn't want to go through the hassle of welding it, this would not have been an acceptable solution.

Perhaps I just got the one in a million defective item. I can't say if the poor welding is typical or a very rare exception. But I was not impressed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Instruction Tips Included, December 30, 2009

The other reviews covered the solid construction, design, and mentioned a slight lack of real instructions. For anyone putting one together, you might note the following to speed things up: 1) there are two sized nuts used 17mm and 14mm (you can also grab an 11/16th to double up tightening the bolts that hold the two main pieces together unless of course you have two 17mm sockets) and 2) there are two sizes of end caps! the slightly bigger ones go in the bottom pieces, the smaller ones go in the holding bars - not sure if the instruction page noted this or not, but you probably wouldn't notice the size difference unless you're looking for it.

My main qualm with this load tree is that my 45 and 35 weights hit when placed on adjacent posts. (FYI I got Troy's VTX Premium Grade Olympic 300 lb. Weight Set GOSS-300V ) In other words, if I put the 45s on the "middle" post and THEN put on the 35s on the top post, I couldn't take off the 45s without first removing the 35s (it'd go better with a picture). My 45lb and 35lb can fit on either of the top two (but not the lowest) position. This isn't really enough to take it below 4 stars as I should easily be able to arrange an appropriate setup once I'm familiar with what I'll be lifting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good solid weight tree - glad I purchased it, April 27, 2008

This is a good solid weight tree. It has an great center of balance and is as compact as you can make it while still storing all your weights (45, 35, 25, 10, 5, 2.5).

Good value. Easy to assemble.

Very happy with this product.
