Man these things are heavy, like 300lbs heavy, but I got them into my basement. Yup, they're in my basement but they're a little too low to the ground to air dry any laundry on as I don't have a bench or rack for them and intended to just use them for deadlifts for the time being. I recommend anyone else in a similar situation to use a stationary bike for your clothes air drying needs.
There was the very slightest crack in the rubber coating on one of the plates but no reason to return or complain about it. If I ever make it downstairs again and remember to bring some epoxy or super glue I might touch it up but not too worried about it.

- 14 Plates
- 2 x 45 LB
- 2 x 35 LB
- 2 x 25 LB
- 2 x 10 LB
- 4 x 5 LB
- 2 x 2.5 LB
- Barbell (Olympic Bar: 7 Ft, 2 inch sleeve diameter)
- 2 Spring Clips
Can confirm the smell, but it doesn't bother me - it will air out eventually. I actually think it comes from the oil - weight plates are lubricated with something, clearly visible on the plates themselves but more so - in the plastic bag in which each plate is wrapped (yellow stains of lubricate).
Didn't open all the plates yet, the only complaint so far is that one of the spring clips has very rough surface - tears clothes and skin. The other one is smooth as it should be.
Did a couple of different exercises with the barbell to try it out - love it, looking forward to getting back into regular free weight workouts. Just need to wait for the squat rack and a bench to get delivered. On that note, after I already purchased a squat rack, I found a cheaper option: this power cage at Costco: https://www.costco.com/.product.100757
Edit: OMG, there's a decent power cage squat rack for $229: https://slickdeals.net/share/ipad_app/t/15927190. Maybe I should send back my Fringe Sport $300 squat rack with $116 spotter arms and get that instead…
