The one with the vertical dumbbell spinning/carousel style is the one I'd opt for.

It saves you the most space by storing the dumbbells vertically and gives you the option to put it in the corner while still having access to all sides of the rack since it spins.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Good deal overall - $1/lb is the norm these days for "sales" of these kinds of dumbbells, but normally the smaller weight dumbbells don't get to $1/lb (with exception of the $4 walmart deal for 2x 5-lb dumbbells that have happened a few times this year). $70 not a bad price for the 3 tier stand either.

Someone will probably find this helpful at some point... BalanceFrom seems to have had a lot of sales recently.. I imagine they are bloated with inventory. Their QA process seems to be shit, any bad reviews on BalanceFrom equipment seems to be from parts missing, long shipping times, damage to equipment, etc. Their customer service is shit, the phone number auto connects to a voicemail that doesn't work. You have to fill out their online form and then reply to the auto-email you get. That got me an immediate reply. I got a squat rack on sale and the safety bars were missing, and they are now being shipped from china.

Is it a little bit annoying? Yes. Can you either return the items to WMT/Amazon or complain loudly enough to get the right equipment? Also yes.

For me it was worth it to get the deal

Good observation. Agree this is probably worth the premium for any setup with limited floor space or a dual-purpose room. Unfortunately looks like this one is currently OOS but hoping it comes back before the sale price reverts.

ugh. I'm building a new home gym and was trying to wait until Black Friday to buy some dumbbells, is this really a slick deal or is this the new-norm for home-grade weights?

I really wish the vertical rack didn't cost $80 more than the 3-tier rack.

But for good reason why it it's 80 more. It spins and stacks vertically which saves space.

Probably because the cart breaks when they add 550 lbs on it

Spinning 500 pounds? I hope they didn't cut corners on the parts needed for that. Loading weights on and off over time will put torque on at all kinda of angles.

I've never had to deal with BalanceFrom before. If something is missing or wrong, try Wal-Mart first. I ordered a power rack and lat accessory, but the accessory didn't arrive. Walmart sent me ANOTHER power rack and lat accessory. Didn't need two power racks, obviously, so that one was gifted to a friend.
