Papababe Rubber Encased Hex Dumbbell Set - Free Weights for Home Gym, Strength Training & Fitness Workouts - Perfect for Weight Lifting, CrossFit, and Full Body Exercises

I looked for months to find a set that would be good for my money, Too improve my daily workouts. This proved to be the best I found online that didn’t charged an insane shipping rate.ThanksEasy to assemble stand. Weights came with set of 5lb, 8lb, 10lb, 12lb and 15lb. Stand is very sturdy and level. Exactly what I was looking for, just like at the gym.Nice little setupIf you are looking to build a dumbbell home gym set, this is a good place to start. These weights are just like what I have seen/used at many gyms. The heavier weights don’t feel (knurl, metal, handle diameter, etc…) any different to me, so I plan to continue to build my set with the individual dumbbells.Alright, im going to clear the air for the folks looking in to these. First off, this set comes in 3 different boxes and on consecutive days, or a couple days apart. You might get the small set and the stand, then the 20&25 lb the next, or visa versa. So its really not a big deal. Second, they do have a smell. Its a new rubber smell, not "chemicals" like some claim. If you have ever been to a gym, a tire shop, etc., then you know exactly what they smell like. It will dissipate in a few days. It will help if you wipe them off with a wet rag when you unpack them. The stand is on the cheaper side. For the money I spent on this set I feel that the stand shouldve been better. The dowels that hold the plastic cover over the bar seat popped out. Luckily I found them in the box. So if you're missing them, check all the bags and boxes. It teeters a little when put together but again, not a huge deal unless your ocd. Assembly is easy and quick, it only takes a bit of common sense, a couple wrenches and or sockets. The communication with the seller is superb. I contacted them at 7pm last night wondering where the 20 & 25 sets were. By the time I woke up this morning they had sent an email back containing the tracking number for the set.Overall, I am extremely happy with them. The grip is ergonomic and comfortable in the hand. They weigh what they should and regardless of the cheapness of the rack, it holds them sturdily. So it does the job. Hope this helpsLove these weights. Just what our home gym needed.This is a great set of weights and value price wise the best you’ll find. Just temper expectations for how long it might take to come.The biggest complaint others had was the fact that it didn’t all come at once immediately. If you read the listing it says it won’t. Let me set expectations for you: You order a full set of weights in pairs of 5, 10, 15, 20, & 25 lbs, they ship them in 3 shipments so you don’t have to lift a box that’s 150lbs. It can take some time. In my case the Mail carrier screwed it up and one package was held for a few weeks and when I investigated they said it was lost and I should leave them alone and bother the seller/shipper. I went back to Amazon and the seller who had provided me immediate feedback previously as well as tracking numbers again showed great customer support. Within an hour they responded saying they will send a new shipment here’s tracking info be in the look out. My shipments came within a week and all was resolved I have my full set.Moral of the story this may take some time but the seller is fantastic and will respond and help quickly and efficiently where they can, don’t whine just moderate expectations.For the product itself these are great solid weights exactly as described. The rack they include is easy to assemble and the weights are high quality. There is upon unboxing a stronger rubber smell because it’s a new rubber product but I used Clorox wipes to give them a once over and in a week or 2 the smell disappeared. Again it’s new it can smell but it’s not forever so just chill out and enjoy your weights.Even though my package came in in separate deliveries, everything came in in perfect condition.Got to assemble everything in less than 20 min even though I did struggle a bit because their was no tiny wrench for the bolts but after that my dumbells look awesome on the stand and also got to work out starting from the lightest to the heaviest
