Over all it's a nice, sturdy, pretty good looking unit for storing your weights.However I have one rather significant beef with it.The distance between the top two pipes is about ¼" too short!I have a set of Body Solid rubber coated weights in 45, 35, 25, 10, 5 and 2 ½ pound increments - pretty standard load out.The 45s and 35s on the bottom no problem, then the 25s and 10s, no problem.However, nothing can fit on the top pipe above the 25 pound plates - even the little 2 ½ inch weights hit the 25 pounders below.Rather annoying given both the weights and the tree come from the same manufacturer.It's not the end of the world and I just keep the 2 ½ pounders on the floor since I don't use them much anyway but the purpose of the tree was to get them all nicely stacked.Not sure if the weights are just a pinch larger than normal because of the rubber coating or if the tree itself is a little short - I don't have another set of weights to test against.Product Description
Keep your workout area safe, clean, and organized with the Body Solid GOWT Olympic weight tree and bar rack. Outfitted with six 2-by-8-inch weight storage posts, the rack can hold up to 1,000 pounds of weight in several configurations, including a series of 45-, 35-, 25-, 10-, 5-, and 2.5-pound weights. More importantly, the storage posts keep the plates safely suspended off the floor for easy storage and removal--just slip on the weights after you're done and you'll keep your workout room uncluttered. The rack also offers space to store a pair of Olympic bar holders, and includes a central weight-load distribution system that virtually eliminates the risk of tipping. Made of high-tensile-strength steel with all-four-side welded construction and finished with ultra-tough, electrostatically applied powder coat finish, the GOWT measures 23 by 40 by 20 inches (W x H x D) and carries a lifetime warranty. The weight plates and bars are sold separately.
