CAP Barbell 150 LB Coated Hex Dumbbell Weight Set with Vertical Rack | Multiple Colors

The weights themselves are great. Very solid, nice handles, good materials. For the price, this a really great set of weights and it’s great having the 5 lb. increments. The rack was easy to put together, looks great, and doesn’t take up much space at all. The first downside is the smell when they arrive. I knew about this from other reviews so i unboxed them outside, rubbed them down with a dish rag using soapy water, and let them stay outside (under a covered area) for a few days. They still have a smell up close now but they don’t stink up the room like they would have. The bigger downside that I don’t have any solution for is the width of the rack hooks. They are made to hold the weights at a good spot on the handles, but that makes them more narrow than your hand. When I pull them out, I can only grab them with 3 fingers and when I put them back I have to kindof toss them in a bit or risk pinching parts of my hand against the hook. (see pictures) Given all of that, I’m taking off half a star for the rack width because, as long as you clean them well when you get them, they are otherwise a great set and well worth the cost.

I purchased the orange rack - 1) because orange is my favorite color, and 2) because it was also the cheapest. I've have needed some heavier weights for a while, and I really wanted some hex weights. Getting the full set with a rack that allows you to store them efficiently is a plus. Weights (and gym equipment in general) have been so expensive since the pandemic. I was thrilled to get this full set for what I consider a bargain price (probably about 50% of the cost of similar sets) with free shipping. the set came in 4 boxes over two days - I sure felt bad for the delivery guy! The weights are packaged so that 3 of the boxes each holds 50 lbs (2 X 25, 2 X 20 + 2 X 5, and 2 X 15 + 2 X 10). The 4th box contained the rack parts with instructions and tools to put it together. I had it assembled in about 20 minutes, and it's perfectly sturdy to hold all these weights. The weights felt slightly oily out of the box and had a faint odor (chemical? plastic? metal?), but the odor is quickly dissipating. They are perfect hex weights - well balanced and grippy without being too rough on your palms. I did not check the weights themselves to make sure they are exactly correct on poundage - they seem close enough, and that's all I need. I've already used everything but the 5's - and I'll get around to them eventually too.

My order came a day in advance! The shipment was wonderful - I received my entire order. There is an odour to the equipment, but nothing unmanageable. The smell should improve once you air the weights out. One thing to note is you will require tools to assemble the dumbbell rack. It’s very compact / doesn’t take up much space. Perfect for a home gym. Happy with this product; would recommend for the price

The rack was fairly easy to put together, but I was disappointed that I had to dig out additional tools for assembly. After reading how other reviewers mentioned a fresh rubber smell, I made sure to wipe down the weights when I was opening the packages. After a few days I no longer noticed the smell

The smell is awfull. I’ve put them outside for a month after receiving them to let the smell go and it didn’t change anything. You can’t let them near a living area, the toxic smell is way too intense. The quality is good thought.
