 Compact, cute and comfortable! Feb 20, 2011
By D. KENT
I didn't plan the alliteration... it just worked out that way... but it's true all the same. The little rack fits compactly in a corner (oh, there I go again) in my living room, they're really cute and colorful (oh no) and comfortable to hold. I bought them to use with my Jillian Michaels 30 day shred video after learning that eventually I'd be doing jumping jacks while holding hand weights. I had lots of individual weights but not a single matching pair. These are perfect. Highly recommended, and a great price.

 Works great and looks nice too! Dec 09, 2010
By HL1956
I bought these dumbbell a few weeks ago and I have been very happy with the quality. I use them for walking and some light toning exercises. They have a nice grip and the weight sizes are perfect for me. I love the fun colors too. The set comes with a plastic rack that holds the dumbbells togehter nicely and keeps them off the floor. I will be buying some more sets to give away for X-mas!

Not bad. Jul 23, 2011
By Raivyn

Just got these today. Fast shipping, so that's a plus.
Weights: They're exactly what I was hoping for. The colours are vibrant and the material isn't annoying or abrasive. They are a great size and fit perfectly in my hands; the center width seems to be almost uniform, only slightly larger with each heavier piece.
Stand: I hate to be critical but yeah, the stand is crap. The holes for the screws are too small, so I'm having a hell of a time getting the screw to remain straight as it goes in. And this is coming from a woman that owns her own tool box and about a million types of screw heads. I'm still working at it but I'm sorely tempted to just say bugger the screws and use super glue :P
Thankfully I had read all the reviews and knew to buy this product for the weights and not to expect a quality stand. The weights are worth it, though. Just realize you're getting great weights with a crappy stand for your price and you won't be disappointed.

 Don't Buy for the Rack Jun 01, 2011
By Q. Laura
"quasilaur"
The weights are nothing special. They're covered in a soft coating, color coded, and no-nonsense. They come shipped in a box appropriately sized for the items, which was another nice benefit. I viewed the rack as an unexpected bonus, and it turns out, it was a bonus that could have been left out. It's flimsy grey plastic that has to be assembled with small screws. The holes didn't exactly line up with the ones I got, and finding a screw driver (I have at least three) that fit the screws without stripping them was impossible. I gave up trying to assemble the rack, and leave the weights just tucked away on the floor. This could be just a bad rack, or could be my own ineptitude, but I think it's the former over the latter, as that I've had much successful experience assembling furniture in the past.

Exactly what I expected for the price! Jan 30, 2012
By ranae
I spent some time really looking into different sets. I'm not a hardcore active individual - I'm just really starting to get into routine work outs. I was mostly looking for something as a starter. I also figured though that if I could get a great set for cheap, I might as well go that route. Really, that was useless. This was the cheapest set I could find (even in stores) that actually came with three different weights. All others wanted like $9-15 a piece, for all six that I needed. Or another set like this was $50+. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this set. It's simple, effective, useful, and everything you really need. The neoprene coating is super helpful when your palms get sweaty or damp and keeps you from dropping them (even if they are light). The stand, I wasn't really worried about. I read the previous reviews on it being really cheap. Come on! It's a $35 weight set, did you expect metal or some fancy shatter/break-proof plastic? I didn't. I haven't had any issues with the stand being put together, staying together, and holding the weights perfectly. No regrets on going with this set!
