This is a great product and worth the extra money compared to the cheaper products available online. I needed a compact dumbbell rack to store my dumbbells in my (very) small apartment, and spent a lot of time researching the various products available online via amazon and other websites. This was really the only viable option that claimed to be sturdy enough (being made of metal) to handle the 48lb total weight of my dumbbells (most of the cheaper options are plastic, and state they are only good up to 30lb). I was hesitant about this product given the many negative reviews about assembly and glue type smells given off by the rack, however given that it seemed to be the most suitable product in terms of functionality, I decided to give it a shot. I didn't have any of the issues that the other reviewers seemed to struggle with. Assembly was really easy with an adjustable wrench and the Allen key that comes with the assembly kit. I assembled it in less that 20 mins by myself (and I in no way claim to have any special DIY skills). In addition, although there was a slight smell of newly welded metal upon opening the box, this quickly dissipated within minutes, and I've had no issues with glue type smells others have complained of. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the product, which is compact and sturdy.
