Bought this last time. Product is acceptable for the price, the pins that hold the two halves of the "barbell" feel somewhat unsafe, I wrapped mine in tape. Also the pins aren't great if you want to back squat. Wrap it in a towel or get a foam cover.
As for the box, it was absolute garbage. I picked up one off the rack and the box disintegrated. Picked up a few others and had the same results. Having someone else help you pick it up and put it into the cart is helpful only to have four support points on the box rather than two.
I have had barbells with these same pins in the garage for two decades. No need to worry about longevity, it's a good product
I have over 25 years in the fitness industry and this is a common confusion for those not deep into the gym life.
The type of barbell that you see in a commercial gym setting is termed "Olympic" barbell. Usually 7 ft long, 28mm thick and weighs around 45lbs. Uses weight plates with 2 inch holes.
This item is a "standard" size. Small, shorter, thinner and lighter. Uses 1 inch "standard" plates. Mainly for beginners and small home gyms. Generally you won't find these in commercial gyms except perhaps in a group cardio/weightlifting class. Point is, they really aren't the "standard".
Most likely you are referring to Olympic barbells.

Wow
In my area everywhere OOS except 2 at my store and available for pickup
This never happens. Usually it's OOS at my location and I have to pray it's still in stock 10-30 miles away and drive around
Snatched one up. Been looking for weights
Thank you
I got this a few weeks back. It does the job. Great price. Nothing fancy... it's the plastic covered weights... not iron. My only complaint is the bar is 5ft...which is too small for my bench. Waiting for the 7ft standard size bar to get back in stock.
I have a few sets of these. Often the Walmart.com site lies about what the store has in stock. I recommend placing orders for pickup and waiting until one sticks versus going to the store and hoping to find it.
