This rack works nicely for weight plates. It was simple enough to assemble, and it appears to be solid. I haven't used it for much weight - only a couple hundred pounds. This looks as though it could hold a lot more, if you have larger plates. I don't know how sturdy it would be then. But for my purposes, it's fine. I like that it's "flat." It can be placed relatively near the wall so that it doesn't get in the way.

I just needed something to corral all of my small plates because having them scattered on the floor was driving my wife crazy. I bought this because it wasn't expensive and it's a fairly small profile to not take up too much room or be an eye sore itself. This was very easy to assemble with the tools/hardware provided. It took me about 10 minutes. However, I think the bolts provided are too long and this leaves the crossbar at the base a little loose. It's not an issue for me since I don't really ever move the rack itself. It holds the plates just fine. But I could see some being annoyed that it isn't 100% snug. All in all for plates (all standard) I have four 25 pound plates, eight 10 pound plates, and several 5 pound plates and this holds up just fine. You could technically rack olympic plates but they'll hang lose as this is designed for standard plates with 1 inch holes.

I am very pleased with this rack because when assembled it is very rigid. A few reviews complain about the rack wobbling. I found that the Allen wrench (aka hex wrench or hex key) that is included is not up to the job of tightening this rack properly. Get a good set of long hardened metric Allen wrenches so it will not round out in the bolt, and a socket set or box end set of wrenches. Tighten until the slightest amount of deformation of the steel tubes can be detected. Then it is tight enough. The U brackets will take some extra leverage to totally compress them tight against the center tube. This is why good tools are needed, and a bit of muscle. Also take note that the bottom center "peg" DOES NOT TAKE A WASHER!!!! If a washer is used then the head of the bolt sticks down too far and makes the rack "wobble" (it can be spun like a top, don't ask how I know this. LOL). The bottom tube has an extra large indentation specifically to allow the bolt head to clear the floor. Putting a washer here is probably why many reviewers complained that there was a missing washer. The instructions clearly show that no washer is used at this location. After assembly, place the rack on a hard level surface and it may wobble. At this point, loosen two of the bolts at one end, press down on the rack to level the feet and tighten those bolts again. Bingo! Its level and does not wobble. In the attached photos, the big weights on the lower peg are 12.25" diameter, 25 LBS each. They will fit one above the other on same side, with about 3/8 to 1/2 inch clearance between them. If you have Olympic weights with the 2" hole, I strongly suggest getting the Olympic weight version. Once the rack is loaded with weights, it will be difficult to move. I use a "utlity" room for an exercise room as well as other tings and need to move the weight rack around. So a set of heavy duty casters Online Best Service 4 Pack Caster Wheels Swivel Plate Casters On Black Polyurethane Wheels 880 Lbs (2 inch Plate) were screwed to the bottom and the rack rolls around easily even when loaded, even on a rug. And stability is not affected, even when pulling the loaded rack by the very top point sideways. The rack was further modified by replacing the center bottom peg with a "foot" that came with a missed weld on one side. Cap Barbell sent a replacement part and I used the old part to make a center mounted bar stand using 2" metal plumbing pipe caps and heavy duty stainless clips at the top. That is why the rack looks different from the description photos. Also back when I ordered, white was an option. Its a good rack, and with casters, it is much more manageable. But you will not be happy with the results using a pair of pliers and the included Allen wrench to assemble it. Hope this info saves you aggravation. Happy Lifting!

This works out great for my home gym!

I got this rack since I had a lot of loose weight plates scattered around my home gym. I like the fact it is small and compact, and can easily hold 4 plates on each arm. The assembly only took about 15 minutes and I was ready to start loading it. Some tips for assembly. If you have a socket set, the nuts are 17MM. It makes the assembly go way smoother than if you are using an adjustable wrench. You just need to hold the hex key in place and let the racket do the work. If you have a hex bits, it is a size 6 metric. Also, when putting the arms on, screw them down by hand as tight as you can go. Only takes about a 1/4 turn with the hex key at that point to lock them in tight. When loading the weight plates, put your heaviest ones on the bottom arms or on the center arm, and the lighter ones on the top arms. While I know that seems logical to do it that way, just wanted to point it out, since it will give more stability. This is a really nice addition to my workout space.

Easy to put together, I didn't even need to look at the directions. Fairly well built, definitely adequate for home use.

Good quality product with a very reasonable price

Great price and keeps all our weights tidy. Goes together easily. Nice and sturdy piece of kit. Really pleased

Llevo tiempo usándolo, el material de fabricación se siente de alta resistencia, ideal para quienes buscamos durabilidad, es un producto de buena calidad y los acabados son muy limpios, lo tengo con discos de 20 kg, 10kg, 6kg, 2.5kg.

This is a great stand for us because its fairly compact and is quite sturdy. There is nowhere to put the bars which is a shame but its great for all the additional plates we have and its so much tidier now. No more stacks of loose plates and easy to find the weights we are looking for. Pretty good value.
