These are a Christmas gift so I may have to update this review after the holidays! All in all the set seems pretty nice. Quite disappointed in the handling, though. The outer box was all torn up on one corner and the plastic case that the weights are in is cracked on that corner. The case is also filthy as though it's been left sitting out in the open in the warehouse. It had clearly been opened, probably returned, as the original shipping label was cut and taped over. I'm going on the assumption that the condition of the case isn't that important to my husband, so long as the weights, themselves, are of good quality which, to my ignorant eye(!), they seem to be. That's the reason I'm giving it 4 stars.

This set is 40 pounds including the bars. You get 4 x 5 lbs and 4 x 3 lbs for 32 lbs, and each bar is 4 lbs. A little confusing considering some weight sets describe the plates only. If this is OK by you, I'd recommend the product because it is a very solid set.

The item is exactly what my husband wanted and he is extremely happy with it. The only problem that occurred was the packing used for shipping. The weights are heavy and contained in a plastic storage container that was not protected in any way and arrived completely shattered. Luckilly, none of the weights or bars were damaged in any way. Although heavy, a little more thought would have prevented this and a note on the package would have alerted the shipping agency as well.

Got this for my husband to work out at home. You should definitely buy gloves if you're going to use these or your hands will get pretty eaten up. It's pretty easy to slide the weights on and off and is pretty reliable and smooth. Enough weights that there is a good amount of different weight you can have.

The container is comes in is pretty flimsy, so it arrived with a dent or two in the container, but not that big of a deal.

The set is great -- good quality and good price. However, as the other customers, I was unhappy with the shipping -- the case was completely cracked and is useless.

Ordered it for occassional use. The product was delivered on time. no complaints so far.
