I'm thoroughly impressed with these dumbbells! The quality is exceptional, and they were incredibly easy to assemble. The instructions were clear and concise, and all the pieces were included - nothing was missing!The delivery was lightning-fast, and I was able to start using my new dumbbells right away. The build quality is solid, and I can tell these will be a great addition to my home gym. For the price, I feel like I got an amazing deal.Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase, and I would highly recommend these dumbbells to anyone looking to upgrade their workout routine. Five stars isn't enough - I'm a fan for life!

They are surprisingly well built! The rack is very sturdy. Comfortable grips. All the hardware was there and of high quality. Rack makes storing a breeze, and saves space. Only things I would say are that I would advise on putting some felt floor protectors under the legs. Assembly was pretty easy as well.

These dumbbells have been a great addition to our home gym. They arrived well-packaged and were easy to set up. I had read some reviews mentioning a strange smell, so we opened the package outside just in case—but I didn’t notice any odor at all. There was a little bit of grease on one or two of the dumbbells, but it wiped off easily with a rag. We've been using them regularly for the past couple of months and absolutely love them!The overall size is really convenient—they don’t take up much space at all, and the height is just right for quick access without bending too low. Great quality and a smart space-saving option!

This is all you expect, Quality overall.The only thing is that the rag doesn't have much space between each dumbell and when you are about to put them back if you are not careful enough you will be get a finger smashed with the other row of dumbells. Hopefully I explained myself right 😆 but other than that is Amazing.

Nice set with accurate weights. The knurling is very grippy, bordering on sharp, to the point that I took a file to some of the edges. I was very cautious of everyone's description of the chemically smell as I live in a small apartment, and they came a little greasy, so I washed them with dish soap before I set them up. This seems to have done the trick because the smell was very minimal and was more akin to just plain old rubber, which is normal because there's a lot of it, and even that was only if you got close and went away after a week. The stand is a bit chintzy and a bit of a bear to put together if you want to get everything symmetrical. It does wobble a bit, but overall has held up well and doesn't worry me. The hand space when picking up the weights off the rack is about 3 adult fingers, so it's not ideal but it doesn't bother me. Just know what you're getting into. The shipping was interesting. It came in several boxes, all heavy as anything. The cardboard was pretty heavy duty, but that didn't stop the weights from shifting and rubbing against each other. This did result in a bit of gouging in the handles of a couple, but it wasn't anything too serious. Overall, you get what you pay for, and these are excellent for the price. If you want a perfect experience, cough up $$$ because this stuff is typically expensive.

The CAP Barbell 150 LB Coated Hex Dumbbell Weight Set with Vertical Rack is an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their home gym setup. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced lifter, this set provides a wide range of weight options and a space-saving rack to keep everything organized.

As others have mentioned, these are shipped in three boxes of weights at 50# each, and one narrow box that holds the stand. In my case, while extremely heavy duty boxes were used, and well taped, one of the boxes was sliced open and minor damage to rubber ends of DBs in that box occurred. Looks like it was slid over something which cut it through.In any event, 2x5, 2x10, 2x15, 2x20, 2x25# DBs are included, making this an excellent "base" set. Handles are knurled and as expected in diameter and abrasiveness. No gloves required, but your mileage may vary.Is there a smell? seems to be the burning question. Of course they have a smell. They were just born of chemicals. They smell like what they are: rubber. So if you have ever had a new bike tire in your house, that is the smell, multiplied by a few pairs. It doesn't bother me in the slightest, and I was able to start using right away. I cannot relate at all to folks who seemed like they were going to swoon after opening the boxes.NOTE: I "washed" these with dish soap and water before using because they are covered in manufacturing residual dust etc. and will make your hands filthy otherwise. Mine did *not* have any kind of oily residues, as others have mentioned; again, just new tire smell, which for me is not obnoxious. But hey- some people think cilantro tastes terrible, so there is no accounting for taste.NOTE #2: Unlike the way Amazon's own brand and some other DBs I have purchased are wrapped, these were just loose in the box. No Styrofoam, no placement in a baggie, nada. Just in the box. So they are not going to be 100% brand new and flawless looking when you take them out. Get over it. They're dumbbells. They'll look like that in a couple months of workouts anyway. Also, because there is no protection, be judicious in opening the boxes. Just slice around the tape so you are not gouging a chunk out of your new best friends.I got these for basically a buck a pound, which is what weights were before Covid, and what they should be anyway, and held off on buying them until I hit the sale amount. Having said that, they would still be worth it for the $200 amount too, of course, just slightly less of a bargain.As has been mentioned by other reviewers, the A-frame is easy to put together, but will take your fingers off if you are not watching what you are doing when replacing the weights onto the rack, something which was also true at many gyms I have used and is a bug and not a feature of this style of rack.Definitely recommend, and would purchase again. Plan on augmenting with additional weights and eventually using a horizontal rack for all of them, but this was a steal-- and delivered on top of it.I am keeping the boxes. These are some of the heaviest duty boxes I have had sent to me. You should keep them until your return date is over anyway, in the event something untoward happens and they need to go back.
