Yes, it stinks like petroleum. That said this weight rack is made well. It fits neatly in the small space I had and it stores the Amazon Basics neoprene dumbells that I purchased. A previously bought rack would not accommodate the Amazon weights and that's a deal breaker. I have had this rack for about a month. Other reviewers have mentioned that the smell dissipates over time. I would buy this item again because it is sturdy and well made.

This thing was a bit of a pain to assemble. Not because it was difficult or confusing, it was just annoying. But you only have to assemble it once. After it’s put together, this rack is a beast and it looks really nice too. I went with the blue one and it holds my dumbbells with no issues or wobbling. I have 2x 15, 20, 25 and 30 pound dumbbells and it supports them no problem. The only complaint is minor - when you’re picking them up or putting them back, the width of the space for your hand and the bar/grip on the dumbbell is kinda tight. It’s a great value for the price, is sturdy and you don’t have to worry about the weight capacity unless you’re trying to load it down with multiple 50+ pound dumbbells.

Excellent value, material, and quality. Make sure you don’t put the sides together inside versus outside. Easier to put together with two people or one person with two adjustable wrenches for torque. Doesn’t take up too much floor space.

I was looking for a nice rack to hold all of my lighter dumbbell weights and this was perfect. It was easy to assemble, does not take up much space, and was very reasonably priced.Please note, this rack is capable of holding larger weights than what I am using it for. The instruction booklet lists the maximum weight limit as 200 lbs.

This unit arrived well packed. All parts present. First, let me say, this item has a minimal odor. Nothing like some were complaining. Within a day odor was gone. After itemizing the parts, the actual construction took about 15-20 minutes. You definitely want to have a ratchet to hold, or fasten the nuts. I held the bolt with the supplied allen key and turned the nuts with ratchet. An open end or adjustable wrench would also work, but I feel the ratchet is the way to go. All holes lined up. I built from the bottom up. Do not tighten totally as you build. Leave a little play in bolt/nut. Once built I tightened from the very top downward. All matched up well. Unit is sturdy and nice/clean looking. Put the larger weights on bottom as spacing gets tighter as you move upward. Very happy with this item. I recommend it, especially for the quality/cost ratio. Give it a try!

I bought this rack so that my dumbbells would take up less horizontal space. It has the perfect number of slots for my 5-25lb set of dumbbells.Having a ratchet set made it easier to put together. There were some openings that seemed slightly off, so I had to really crank on my ratchet to force it into the right position. I might've been able to solve this by loosening all of the bolts and then slowly re-tightening them bit by bit, but I didn't feel like going to that effort since I had the right tools for the job. It might be a bit more of a struggle to put together if you don't have your own tools.After building it, it looks great, is solid, and seems to be made of good, sturdy metal.The one part about it that bothers me is how close together the two sides of the cradles are. When you are holding a dumbbell in one hand and try to place the dumbbell into one of the cradles, the metal pieces are too narrow to simply guide it down all the way without pinching your hand under the weight of the dumbbell. So it's often pretty awkward to return dumbbells to their cradle. To fix this, the weight rack would have to be more bulky, though, and surely more expensive, so I'm not too bothered given how inexpensive it was. Anything much heavier than the 25lb dumbbells that I have in the rack might start to be a real problem, but I think it's a great, cheap option for lighter dumbbells that aren't difficult for you to move around.

Great quality for the price! Easy to put together. Perfect size for our room. Holds weights nicely. Seems extremely sturdy.

We've had them for 7 years. They're doing great and no issues. They smelled really bad at first. I assembled them and left them outside for about a week to get rid of most of the smell.

I was looking for a dumbbell rack for five pairs of small dumbbells to fit out my home gym which I use for personal training. Most I saw were in the region of £50-70 while this was £40 & looked identical.I've previously bought Cap weight plate storage trees & was suitably impressed so I bought this. You will require a spanner in addition to the supplied hex key (& I'd recommend using your own, longer hex key too) but it was easy to assemble. I imagine it is going to give me decades of service as it is not a heavy use item.

Item came well packed, with an instruction sheet. The instructions are nowhere near lego quality, but if you have assembled stuff before, it is not rocket size. Took me about 20 mins to carefully self assemble it. If you have 2 persons, can be done in 10 mins. Need a wrench (not included) and Allen key (included). All in, very stable shelf with tiny footprint. If your hands are large, you may find it a bit difficult to take the dumbbells out due to the width of the holder, but overall I am happy with the purchase. I am fitting this rack with a pair of 8 , 10 , 12, 15 and 20 lbs. If you have significantly heavy set of weights from 16 to 40 lbs, this rack will not fit, as the dumbbells will be too big for the vertical space it provides. Hence, i would say, if you have 5 pairs, starting with 6 - 8 lbs and ending with 25 lbs, it should fit fine!After using this for 2 weeks, I realised that you CAN actually fit 20 to 40 lbs dumbbells, if you like. However, you will probably be able to fit just 3 pairs (not 5 pairs), leaving the alternate 'row' free.

Necesitas la llave inglesa para montarlo. Buena apariencia y solidez suficiente. Cumple.

Satisfy on product Quality

I spent WAY too much time looking at different small barbell rack listings on Amazon and elsewhere. Many look shoddily built, too small, too big, no rubber grips to stop scratches - and worst of all, the reviews are so contradictory and confusing. I narrowed my shortlist to 3-4 items, but NOTHING, not the listings, nor the reviews told me what I really wanted to know. In the end I chose the "CAP Barbell Black A Frame Dumbbell Rack" because;- First off this rack is super easy to assemble & very stable (unlike many reviews say). All you need is a spanner, or best a socket wrench (have), and it took me less than 10 minutes, fully done.- I have 3 sets of 10kg, 12.5kg & 15kg Dumbells (~22/27/33 pounds) - so I wanted a 3 to 4x rack (this one is 5x).- It's well balanced, has a wide base, so is rock solid and it's specs say it holds 91kg (200 pounds). I have 75kg on it, so could add 2x 7.5kg and be under spec - and it's easily strong enough to hold a pair of 20kg, so 115kg (over spec) so it's very stable & strong WEIGHT wise. SIZE wise (as in Hex head) is trickier.- Those are kind of medium weights for an average Man, heavy for a Woman. So they're kind of larger hex heads - so the spacing between each "hook" is important. AND THAT is what I couldn't find anywhere.- Many reviews are by Women, and they say it's hard to assemble (it's not) and sometimes for little "chick's" neoprene colourful weights they don't fit and so on...or sometimes reviews are by Guys with HEAVY weights - like 20kg, 25kg, and those suckers have BIG hex heads, so they won't fit so well.- But if you're like me, and you have, say, 5kg, 7.5kg, 10kg, 12.5kg, 15kg & even 20kg large rubber head (just, especially if you only have 3-4 sets, depending on weight/size) hex dumbbells, this is a great rack.- The sizes I mention I have aren't too big - they JUST fit. But above that, you need a much bigger style of rack. This is a budget, cheap, $60AUD rack, and it works great for my small home gym. Probably also totally suitable for the smaller, candy coloured "chick's" weights.- Another problem people mention is not being able to fit your hand in between to lift the dumbbell out. I have smallish hands for a Man, and I can (just) do it for 10kg, but heavier, no - BUT that's not how you should lift heavy dumbbells out anyway - my 5th photo shows how you're meant to do it with two hands.--> FINALLY here is what I COULDN'T find ANYWHERE (for any racks!). My 6th photo shows what I suspected...the "gap" between each "hook" gets smaller as you go up. So my 3x dumbbell sets fit fine on top of each other at the BOTTOM. But at the top/they don't fit! As you can see I spaced them out anyway. My pic 6 shows with a tape measure, and they lose 2cm per "hook" as you go up. Hope this helps save some people time. But unless you have really heavy weights, I recommend this as really good home gym dumbbell rack.
