5.0 out of 5 stars | Perfect!
They must have read the reviews and corrected some issues because all the weights fit on the rack now and the dumbbells weren’t oily. I’m amazed with this purchase! I’ve seen other weight sets so expensive that didn’t even come with a rack. This exceeded my expectations. It came in four different boxes, very beat up upon arrival but nothing was damaged. There’s a slight knick in a dumbbell but who cares, they’re dumbbells and they don’t have all of the disgusting germs from the gym. I’m excited to get better home workouts when I don’t feel like driving to the gym. The assembly was a tiny bit annoying because it didn’t come with another tool to hold the nut while you screw it together. I grabbed a pair of pliers and had no issues.

4.0 out of 5 stars | MUST READ!!!!! 1OO% HONEST REVIEW...CAP 5-25LB DUMBBELL SET WITH HORIZONTAL RACK
I ordered on prime deal days and paid $135.00 approx after tax including 2 day delivery. The weights come in 3 seperate boxes at 50 lbs per box with the stand in another box on its own. I ordered the horizontal rack. Its easy to assemble. The rack that I got was definetly warped and bent. I found that after tightening everything very tight and as straight as possible the rack did not sit flush on the floor. But after putting the weights on it will sit flush. All the weights fit on my rack no problem. There is a rubber smell that is very strong. Smells like a tire shop. Just wash them with cleaner of some kind, i used lysol antibacterial wipes. Smell comes of easily. Just remember that your buying a cheap product so dont expect perfection. But for the price you cant go wrong and once you get it assembled and cleaned it looks great and sits flush to the floor. I just wish there was an option to get rid of the 5 lb weights and replace them with 30 lb weights. Weider has a set that is 10-30lb weights same rack style for $299.99 but im not paying another $165.00 for 30lb weights. CAP will work just fine!! OVERALL GREAT PURCHASE!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars | Great purchase, couldn't be happier.
I can't believe the complaints on smell. It's so easy. We had a small ice cream bucket of soapy water and a rag when we got these (based on feedback from reviewers). Yes you open the box and the rubber has a smell to it and it seems oily on most of them. But I also ordered 5 other sets of dumbbells and a big rack, to complete a whole set all the way to 60 lbs. Even another brand of dumbbells has the same odor and oil. You simply take 20 seconds to wipe the dumbbell off with the rag and then place on the rack which I had assembled prior to even opening the dumbbells. The rack has 10 screws or less, it took 10 minutes and the dumbbell cleaning took under 3 minutes for all of them. You spend the majority of your time opening the well packed boxes so the dumbbells don't tear through them due to their weight. All in all, it's a fantastic purchase. With the rack included, it's tough to beat.

I was lucky enough to find this on sale for $140 which is an absolute steal with the rack: it’s true you need to lightly clean the rubber to remove residue but that was simple. Use a wrench while installing the screws and you’ll be fine: as far as the weights not fitting I didn’t have a single problem, they all fit perfectly. Great quality item, no compliants!

1.0 out of 5 stars | Terrible off gassing smell from these weights.
The dumbbell has a rubber mold that has a terrible off gas From the rubber. It's been 3 weeks and I still cannot bring them inside my house. The fumes are awful. I would never recommend these to anyone. I would give negative stars if I could.

5.0 out of 5 stars | Great price for the amount of weights you get...
I waited a month to do this review because I noticed a lot people complained about the smell of these weights. When we first got them, they were very smelly. I dumped each weight in water with dish soap and really scrubbed each one VERY well. I dried them off and let them sit in my garage for 2.5 weeks. I brought in a few weights at a time (we have a workout room). Now, after a month, the smell is barely there. There is a faint rubber smell but it is not terrible at all. I'm very happy with these. They make working out so much easier!! I highly recommend if you put the time into it and clean them!

4.0 out of 5 stars | Ughhh, bolts & nuts issue.....but solved!
They're packed nicely but delivery was delayed a bit. Initially, I thought I had the same bolts & nuts issues like another reviewer was asking in question lines. So I contacted CAP customer service about it. They actually responded quickly and told me that I just need a tool to hold one side and the bolt needs to pass that end of locknut. Well, thanks to my hubby who is quite handy and has lots of sorts tools. He used 17mm socket wrench and Voila, he assembled it so quickly and easily. He told me that I should’ve asked first instead of trying to do it all by myself :D Now I am a happy camper! The only negative thing I can say is that the rack had a big scratch and one part paints was already scratched off.I thought I purchased a new one....why? QA control issues? At this point, I can say that not that much a big deal though I prefer no scratch for a brand new items I ordered. So with all that said, I still think it’s a pretty good value product with that price.

1.0 out of 5 stars | STAND DOESN'T ASSMEMBLE! DON'T BUY!!
This is the biggest piece of trash product I've ever purchased on Amazon. The stand doesn't assemble. The screws sent were too big and the nuts are too big as well. It comes with an allen wrench for some reason but it literally doesn't tighten anything. The screws just spin in place. The stand literally collapses if you touch it. How the hell am I supposed to return a 200 pound weight set plus the stand when they want me to pay for the shipping which is $300 to ship that much weight?!?! DO NOT BUY!!!
