I don't write reviews almost never but i saw it useful helping somebody,I am doing gym for 20 years and i can say that this rack is just amazing for the value. Is well made and solid, and saves a lot of space in your home gym.Is very easy to assemble don't listen other comments from lazy people. It takes no more then 10-15 min max.Works perfect and can feet any pair of plates 45 35 25 10 5 2.5If you have a lot of 45 plates or more than 2 pairs its better going with a floor rack or any other one bigger.I strongly recommend to everybody having a gym in the home like me, it saves a lot of space, and is very solid and well made. This is the best option no way,Thank you

I purchased this rack that had been returned to Amazon. It was cheaper and still like new condition. The only thing that was a little bit difficult was screwing in the top 2 posts. You have to angle the allen wrench just right to be able to tighten them. If you want to be able to store more than about 300 pounds or so of plates then you will need something different as the posts will only accommodate 3 45 pound plates

The tree is working excellent for the ease of putting it together and the cost to purchase.However, out of the box, it has the strangest flaw. You cannot place two full width bumper plates on the top and bottom of the same side. I use Rogue HG 2.0 Bumper plates, meaning they all have the same diameter. Out of the box, I could really only use 1 peg on each side.The reason I saw its a silly flaw is that the bar as the space for a proper mounting to make this work. I drilled a hole 1 1/4 inch lower than the existing bottom hole (as suggested by others in these reviews) and voila, it works fine. If this can be done on the same hardware so easily why do they not simply ship it that way? Regardless, once drilled it works great (you need to drill just slightly larger than a 3/8 drill bit. If you drill a 3/8 hole and angle the bit around to enlarge it a tad it will work).Another strange design quirk (as mentioned in other reviews as well) is that the Hex Key that comes in the package is too large to properly tighten the top pegs. You cannot make it fit. I had to use a Dremel and cut mine down, and then it worked perfectly.So to make this work well for me, I needed a power drill, titanium bits, a Dremel and some metal cutting wheels for it. Thats a lot. But once done, it works wonderfully. The two 45's on the bottom overhand the peg, however they stay sturdy with a pretty good thud, so I think they are stable enough for my home gym.

Very sturdy and was easy to put together. A little wiggle and patience is all you need for the two pegs on the top. It was very simple and easy. Other then that it's the perfect size for the area I needed it to be in to hold some weights instead of leaving them on the floor. I definitely recommend

Perfect for a small home gym. I use this in connection with CAP branded weights. Compact and functional.The posts will fit the following weights5 CAP 5# or 2.5# (you can squeeze 6 but it is at the very end)4 CAP 10#3 CAP 25#

The media could not be loaded. Unfortunately a bit too short to put full size bumpers on both the top and bottom rack without overlap, but if you just have a small set it’s sort of “good enough”, just a little inconvenient. For the price though it’s enough for what I need.Tightening the top bolts was also a little annoying as the key doesn’t fit in there, but managed to use wrench just fine.

You will have to get creative while setting up this tool. It is just not meant to be easy to put together and the provided tool isn’t enough for assembly. You will need allen wrench that can reach into tight spaces or you will have to get creative like I had to (hex bit and an adjustable wrench) to assemble the top two plate holders. The rack also isn’t sturdy when assembled and I’m assuming weight and time will fix that problem. I don’t feel like it’s totally fair to give this points off due to the bad setup and lack of tools though I want to. When I think to the actual quality and the years of service this rack will serve me at this insanely low price, it’s easy to overlook the extra ten minutes it took me to figure out the last two bolts.

Doesn’t fit standard size bumper plates that are all the same size
