CAP Barbell Dumbbell Set with Rack | Multiple Options in 150lbs and 210lbs

Great and organized set up! I had random mismatched weights hanging out in my living room and I wanted it to look neater and all match. The rack is sturdy and has a smaller footprint than some that I have seen. It was easy to put together. I like these with the rubber ends so they won’t scratch up my floors. Like other reviewers said, they had a slight odor so we just left them outside for a bit. It really wasn’t that bad. Then took them in and washed with dawn spray powerwash. A lot came off of them, but they are great now! Totally worth it for the price. I haven’t used them much yet, but they seem great!

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.

This is a great weight set! It was delivered in stages but there was not much delay. The grip is perfect, much like gym quality. Plenty of weight sizes for everyone to use and the rubberized weights make them look great! Not that a great looking weight makes a difference in its purpose but it certainly helps you see the quality that you paid for. These are an exceptional value! The rack to hold them is sturdy and there is no question about its support! Great buy, great value, great quality!

To start, this item is shipped in 4 boxes three of which is heavy weighing more than 50 lbs each, except for the box that contains the rack. If you live in a 4th floor walk up like I do, bring a box cutter and just tote the dumbbells two at a time. Trust me that process alone gave me a work out. Phew chile...lol. Secondly, everyone is right, the smell is horrendous (think of burnt tar and gasoline). I got rid of the smell by wiping down each dumbbell and spraying them with fabreeze...twice. No stench after 24hrs. These weights are solid and built nicely. Word of advice, decide your placement of the rack BEFORE you put the weights on it because it will be very difficult to move it. 150 lbs is nothing to sneeze at. I love this investment.

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.
