PowerBlock Small Compact Stand, Dumbbell Rack & Weight Rack, Folds Flat For Easy Storage, Use with PowerBlock Expandable Dumbbells, Home Gym Strength Training, Pack of 1

After buying the Power blocks 50 set, I realized that although the blocks were great it was still hard to bend each time I had to change the weights. So the choice was the two stands that the Power block company sells, but I went with this one as it comes fully assembled out of the box and does not take up a lot of space.The column was a option but I do not think that I would ever buy the additional extensions. Another factor that clinched the deal for me was the fact this stand does not need any assembly. In the package there is a scratch resistant surface stickers that you have to apply yourself but it is easy to do. I was afraid that these stands were flimsy and would not support the weights but these are sturdy stands with good strong legs and they have held up pretty well. Whether you are putting the weights on or removing them, the stand hardly budges so I am glad. The only downfall is that you still have to stand up and put them back on the stand while you are doing chest flys. However this is just my observation and not a drawback of any kind.This stand will work with any Power Block set up to 90 lbs, this stand has a twin which has adder weight ports on the top of stand for Power Block models that have adder weights but mine does not. A word of caution other reviewers have mentioned that these holes are too small for the 2.5 pins.. They are probably sold at the same price, but it would be great to check the prices before buying. They can be also a good stand for the Bow flex 552's as well.Stand has a foot print of 20" x 18" and a height of 26 inches.

The PowerBlock Compact Stand, Weight Rack is very sturdy. I have two 50lbs. PowerBlocks on it and it is very stable. It's kind of dificult to unlatch it and secure it but that is a good thing. If nesseary to fold it you have the option. It is not wobbley whatsoever. The price is a little to high by about $25.00. If you are searous about lifting then get them and stop reading reviews. What is nice about having the weights off the ground is they are reachable so you can grab them and push a set or two out.

Summary: Good product for those who need a compact and portable solution to keep their power blocks during exercise sessions.Details:Before I bought this product, I asked in the Q&A above if this product came with adder weight inserts -basically a metal bar that allows you to store the adder weights in the power blocks, even though the picture does not show them. The reason for this is apparently PB made a version with the inserts and now makes it without them.The users who bought this product confirmed it did. Unfortunately the product does NOThave them. The folks who responded are not to blame, because the older version of this stand, which power block does not make any more DID have these inserts. The new one does not. So the users who have it must have bought an earlier version while they were in stock. I called up PowerBlock and asked why they removed it. The answer was 'most people using this stand did not have adder weights in their power blocks'. Their newer single column stands do have the inserts, and I feel very strongly they just want you to buy those products (double the price and some)Anyway, back to the product.It's a good stand, and pretty stable. I have the sports 5.5 and it held it up pretty well (total of 55+55 lbs). However, given that I have small kids, I decided not to keep it permanently on the stand as if you run into it, you can imagine what can happen. While the weights seem stable on them, I don't have the confidence to leave them there especially since we work out in the family room and not a dedicated gym space we can keep closed. Also remember this is a compact foldable stand. Don't expect it to be the Rock of Gibraltar. It's hold the weights fine, though.If you are short of space, its convenient to fold it easily and store it. I also like the fact that it has raised edges all around. I used to keep them on a table before, and I've almost dropped the weights you don't land up pinning in the middle of a routine (because your hands essentially get tired and your capacity to pick weights also decreases as your hands get tired, so imagine you have 55lbs and you pin 25lbs, and instead of lifting up the weights cleanly, your hands drag out and bam - the rest of the weights fall to the ground). the raised edges avoid exactly this problem.Finally, for those who are used to power blocks on the floor, frankly I find the stand to be much better - it helps you in switching a little faster because you can see the sides better and it helps your back from constant bending (especially if you are doing a quick moving routine like P90x/x3/etc). The other reason to buy this stand is if you keep your blocks on carpeted floor, you would have noticed its a little harder to change the pin because the pin holder and the metal plates don't exactly line up correctly and you often have to give it an extra push to snap into place on a carpet.Oh and last note: I don't actually fold the table when I'm done - I just use it as a convenient music sheet holder while playing music ;-)Why did I take away 1 star?a) When it set up this stand, it looked like it was stable and it held my weights. I later took off the weights and pushed on the stand and it went down further like as if I did not lock it perfectly. That concerned me a bit - it may have been my error, but I would prefer if it did not lock into a position that was possibly not intended...b) Powerblock decided to discontinue the older version of this stand that actually had space to store the adder weights for no logical reason to me except for forcing people to buy their more expensive column stands

Does exactly what it should - Hold my Power Block Elite 50lb EXP's with no issue!Very sturdy and substantial metal build, I was worried that I was going to get a glorified TV dinner stand, but not the case. This thing is solid. And - I have it on rug/carpet (not recommended by Power Block) but non-the-less, it's wobble free and not going anywhere! I find the height/angle to be perfect for me (I'm ~6'-1"), so locking in my settings and getting to work is easy!

This collapsible dumbbell stand is far sturdier than I was expecting when ordering. No assembly required; simply unbox and unfold. The legs are oblong tubing, made with heavy duty materials. It comes with two optional grip pads for under the weights. I'm using the stand for my 25lb FlyBird adjustable dumbbell set. They are slightly longer than the top of the stand, but are fully supported. This is a great, affordable adjustable weight stand option.
