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

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.

This CAP Barbell dumbbell set is exactly what I needed to round out my home gym. The coated hex dumbbells feel solid and well‑balanced, and the coating helps protect both the weights and the floor. The vertical rack is sturdy, space‑saving, and keeps everything organized without taking up much room. It’s a convenient range of weights for strength training, and the whole setup looks clean and professional. Excellent value for anyone building or upgrading their workout space.

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.

Overall, this product offers excellent build quality and serves as a solid base set. My main reservation is the shipping process, which could be better. 3 starts for the shipping experience. However, the product is a solid 4.5. Smell: Not an Issue for Me Many reviews mention a strong odor, but I'm happy to report that mine had no foul smell. This might be due to chemicals used to strengthen the rubber, but in any case, any scent should dissipate over time. There was a slight oil residue, likely to prevent rust during storage and transport. You can wipe this off or use gloves to avoid sweat-induced rust. Shipping: A Muddled Experience Be prepared for multiple shipments. It seems they cap each package at 50 lbs. For my 150 lbs set, the order arrived in three separate shipments, with one 50 lbs package (2x25 lbs plates) still missing at the time of writing this review (ordered on July 10th). The first shipment was the frame, followed by 50 lbs (2x10, 2x15) and another 50 lbs (2x5, 2x20). This fragmented delivery is a definite downside. Packaging & Assembly: No Complaints The packaging was adequate, and my items arrived with no scratches or damage. Assembly was incredibly easy, taking less than 10 minutes. All necessary tools, including a wrench, washers, screws, and bolts, were included.

Weights and rack are just a described. The green rack was ordered, the color came in just as pictured. It is sturdy and can be placed functionally. Very heavy with all weights on it but easy to move when empty.

Idk why but the weights with colored rack is like $20-$30 cheaper than black rack so of course I jumped on the cheaper version. Everything from CAP is top tier so going cheaper isn't a bad thing here. First the Dumbbells: Great weight, weighted just as described (going off of memory from gym times) and plentiful. Only thing I didn't like was the out of factory oil that was on them but a towel and a few disinfectant wipes and they're right as rain. They did also come with the new factory smell but that didn't bother me personally. I knew once out of package the smell starts to dissipate. The Rack: As I said, the colored racks are cheaper than standard black (idk why) so choose whichever color you'd like. I went with red. A bit annoying to put together because extra tools are required but once put together its great. Lightweight yet strong. Comes with rubber guards to protect your hands from getting nicked when taking weights on and off of the rack. For the amount of weight and the rack you get for the price, its perfect for any home gym. Gyms are starting to get expensive and crowded so you're better off making a home gym. This'll be a great addition to it. No need to spend an arm and a leg for a set of dumbbells. CAP got you covered. For the price of the Dumbbells and Rack, its about an entire month or even 2 months worth of your gym membership and you get to keep the weights so think about it.

I purchased the CAP Barbell 150 LB Coated Hex Dumbbell Weight Set with Vertical Rack in Green, and I couldn't be more satisfied! I ended up buying two sets, and both arrived in perfect condition. The dumbbells themselves are sturdy, well-made, and coated to protect against wear and tear, ensuring they’ll last a long time. Putting the set together was a breeze. It took me no time at all to assemble everything. The rack is easy to use and holds the dumbbells securely, but I do want to mention that the rack feels narrow as some reviewers note, that being said, it doesn't bother me too much – if I really found it to be an issue, I’d simply choose not to use the rack. Honestly, for my needs, the rack works just fine and is a non-issue. A pleasant surprise was the lack of any foul odors or issues that some reviewers mentioned. My set arrived with no unpleasant smells, and the dumbbells were ready to use right out of the box. Overall, this set is exactly what I was looking for! It’s solid, reliable, and well worth the price. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to upgrade their home gym.

The only thing you need to know about this is that this is the best value for dumbbells. You won't be able to find a better price with coated hex dumbbells. I scoured the internet, and even with coupon codes during sale times, these are unbeatable. So with that said you are getting a set of dumbbells with a free stand. Dumbbells - they're dumbbells. Knurling is good, didn't see any areas of concern. Only time will tell whether these last. As others mentioned, they smell bad. That should go away with time. Stand - Poorly executed. While easy to assemble and holds all the dumbbells, it makes it very awkward to get them out because the holder is narrower than the width of an adult fist. This means that it's hard to take them in and out. It also could have used a little more weight at the base. Regardless, this is a must buy for any home gym, you can't beat the price for what you're getting.
