It's hardly ever that I leave a review of a product I've purchased on Amazon but I believe this one more than merits it. After reading all the reviews and performing much research, I decided to purchase this dumbbell set, rack and mat combo. I was worried about what the quality would actually be like, if all the dumbbells fit on the rack or if anything would arrive damaged. Happily, my order arrived quickly, delivered by freight truck and dropped right outside my garage. I looked over everything and it all appeared to be intact and all there as described and I brought it all box by box down to the basement. A day later I constructed the rack which I found to be both sturdy and strong with no scratches or issues despite the shipping box having ripped open in shipping transit. I unpacked the dumbbells and set them on the rack and was impressed by the beauty and quality of them. There was a rubber smell but that is to be expected and it was not overwhelming as some reported and the smell dissipated soon after a week. In the unpacking and racking I unfortunately discovered that one of the 20 lb weights has incurred damage on the rubber outer coating. The shipping box had a hole that had been taped and this damage was not due to the product manufacturer but by the freight shipping company. I contacted the seller and they responded promptly and subsequently provided a return label for the damaged item and shipped out a replacement that I received very quickly. All in all, I have to personally recommend this set combo to anyone and though a trifle expensive, I found it all to be high in value and quality. The rack is terrific and all the dumbbells fit on it without crowding or any stability issues at all, I even had space to add an additional 10 lb. dumbbell set of my wife's on it. I'm very happy with my purchase and it's been a perfect, superb looking addition to my home gym and I use them regularly. Don't hesitate if you're pondering purchasing these and a best experience to you all. Read more
My dumbbells arrived today. I got 5-75 pound dumbbells. The rack setup was easy for one person. It took about 1/2 an hour with just two wrenches. The dumbbells feel really very solid -- pro gymnasium feel to them, which is basically what they are. My problem, I got a pair of every dumbbell weight except the 50# dumbbells. Not sure yet who to casll about this. I may post an addendum. Read more
Great weights and rack. Strong rack and weights hold up even while dropping them on concrete floor after hard set. Read more
Gets the job done and it is very good quality in my opinion. Had a feint smell to them, and some dumbbells were oily than others- however it is not a hinderance, a quick clean up and they looked great and the smell isn't noticeable anymore. I have had these for a couple months now and I have no complaints. I believe I got these within a week, which was earlier than I was projected to get them..especially during the time where dumbbells were impossible to find anywhere so I was impressed with that. It was also packaged very nicely and I did not have any missing items. Good product in my opinion. Read more
Shipping wasn’t too bad. I had to reach out to the shipping company to schedule a delivery. It came earlier than what Amazon stated, which was cool. The order came on a pallet. The boxes were absolutely trashed, didn’t have any issues with damaged barbells though. The rack is terrible. It doesn’t fit all the dumbbells, it’s held together with terrible hardware. It wobbles and seems unstable. Also looks like a middle schooler welded it. Over all happy with the dumbbells Read more

I have been recommending this set to EVERYONE. waaaaay cheaper than other names like rouge. all of my dumbbells were cap brand and I couldn't be happier. why pay 2x more for a name? they are weights! they are quality! they are heavy! and they are worth the money! who give af about the name? lol I highly recommend buying these weights for your home gym.

If I could give it less than one star, I would. The dumbbells are coated in a layer of oil (probably so they don’t rust during shipment) and they have a heavy smell of petroleum. It is a very overwhelming odor and the oil is pervasive. You can’t touch the dumbbells without having to wash your hands afterward due to the oil coating. Reference the pictures…the oil was so heavy while unpacking (look at cardboard box pix) and then it was still overwhelming when I tied to unpack and put the dumbbells on the rack (again, look at the pix where it left a stain on my rubber mat gym floor.) Also, the “rubber coating” is just that. It’s not true rubber protection like name brand dumbbells such as Iron Grip or Hammer Strength, it’s a very thin layer of rubber that doesn’t protect the dumbell or the rack that you buy with it. It’s nothing more than a light rubber coating, not like the thick rubber protection you see with name brand equipment. This product is cheap Chinese garage. Don’t buy it! Read more
My husband and I ordered this weight set so we can start a routine. Because it’s such a large item, it took some coordination for delivery. We had the set within 10 days of ordering. One of the dumbbells was damaged on arrival. After contacting the company, they promptly sent a replacement along with a shipping label to return the damaged weight. The set is exactly what we’d hoped for and is the perfect addition to any home gym. Whenever we’re ready to expand in our gym, we will purchase from them again. Read more
