 Right on the money. Mar 04, 2007
By Kalo Alexandra
"machine monkey"
I work out at home using dumbells and a number of bodyweight exercises. My dumbbell collection had grown cumbersome and messy, so I looked around for a way to organize these dumbells in my room, and this rack was perfect. I did look at a number of racks both online and in RL, but the majority were way over my budget, had crippling shipping charges or were too limited in terms of their capacity to space ratio. I was just about ready to fabricate my own when I found this on Amazon. After reading the reviews and crunching the numbers, I decided to give this a shot. I'm happy to report this has completely solved my dumbbell storage problems.

This rack arrived a couple of days before anticipated; with the use of a single crescent wrench, I put it together without assistance in the space of an hour or so. Well within 2 hours of opening the box, it was in place and holding weights. It is solidly made of heavy gauge steel and quality welds covered in a tough tactile coating material. The construction method is of simple carriage bolt and nylon insert locknut assembly. It ships with rubber coverings for the feet and all orifices.
***
The actual dimensions of this rack are 36.75" x 24" x 32" (W x D x H). Add at least a foot to the height for the minimum workable usage space (for lifting the weights in and out). I have filled it's available space with sets of 10-50# dumbbells in 5# increments. For the past month, it has held 540# and remained absolutely rock solid. From the feel of the thing, it could hold easily twice this weight without issue.
***
Highly recommended for personal use or even tight boutique space.

Perfect for the price Apr 10, 2007
By Kevin D. Schoeninger
If you are looking for a sturdy, easy to assemble, rack that will hold 6-8 pairs of dummbells, this is a good one to buy. I have a small home gym and needed just this size rack. In 30 minutes I had this rack put together and it is very solid. For the price you can't beat it. I am a personal trainer and I have seen a lot of equipment. This is a great buy, especially compared to some of the flimsy racks that are marketed for home use.

 3 Tier Dumbbell Rack Nov 06, 2006
By J. Walker
For the price, which was a great deal less than any other same capacity rack, the Apex dumbell rack is hard to beat. The tiers are recessed which allows for easier access, yet the rack is built so that it does not take up any more space than a rack with vertical tiers. The rack seems to hold up well, and it will easily hold up to 7 pairs of dumbells, Recommended.

Great rack for the price Jul 20, 2008
By Robert Moore
I recently got this dumbbell rack and couldn't be happier. I have two cats and dumbbells ranging from 5 to 45 lbs. Anyone who has cats knows that that combo is a recipe for great gobs of cat fur collecting under the weights and no matter how often you vaccuum or sweep, it somehow manages to recongregate. This rack gets all the dumbbells off the floor, preventing the collection of fur and other dirt, and makes the weights a lot more accessible.
The one comment to add to those of the others here is that this rack really only works well with hexagonal dumbbells. I had two round-bell 10-pound dumbbells and when I tried to place them on the rack, they slipped off and fell. So I've had to replace them. I prefer the hexagonals anyway, but if you have nothing but round-bell weights, you might want to look at a different design. But if you have the standard hexagonals, you'll love this. It is compact, solid, and surprisingly solid for the price. Plus, if you are a Amazon Prime member, it will ship for free, which is pretty amazing given its weight. I highly recommend this rack.
