Their customer service is 10/10 stars!Due to Covid-19, the Fedex was hoarding some orders (completely not the company’s fault). I reached out for information on my order and I got a response that same day. They apologized and explained the situation and were completely transparent which I appreciated. They also offered to refund me some of my money for the inconvenience even though it was not their fault the product hadn’t shipped or updated.I received my product today and it’s awesome! Sturdy. Matte black. It will be a good edition to my home gym. For the quality of the product, you’d think I paid a lot more than this price tag. I will highly suggest this to my work family, we are all big into working out. You just can’t beat the amazing customer service this company offered. Super super appreciate and really satisfied! PURCHASE THIS ITEM! It rocks!

I've really been missing the gym since this whole covid thing began, and with just the occasional long walk I have really been starting to pack on the pounds. I had a terrible time finding weights to buy, even on craigslist. This arrived within a couple weeks of purchasing, and it does exactly what I need it to. I paired it with an adjustable kettlebell, and I'm ready to go. It also helps that I can use these weights for my kettlebell, so that saved me a bunch of money. It's a littler less longer than I thought/was hoping for, and the center piece becomes a little loose with use, but it definitely does what I need it to do. I'll be looking for a few extra 1 inch weight plates I can purchase to add to my dead lifts. Also, I don't know if this helps, but I'm an average build/height female, so it works great for skull crushers, bench press, deadlifts, good mornings, and squats, but it may not be as versatile for a really strong crossfit kind of lifter.For the price, speed in shipping, and convenience of have 2 varying weight dumbbells and a bench bar, I'm happily giving it 5 stars.Pros-Cost-Reasonable shipping time (couple weeks via Fedex)-Versatile. & functional-Able to use weights on my adjustable kettlebellCons-Shorter bar than I imagined-Center piece can get a little loose (but definitely still stays threaded), more annoying than scary-Comes in a secure but compact, tiny, and heavy box, making it a little hard to carry inside

The packaging seemed a bit risky, but luckily everything was together and undamaged. I'm happy so far, but have yet to use it other than to assemble the bar and put a few weights on, so I may update this later.Update 1: Looks like the connector bar securing screws are a very-difficult-to-find 11/64" while the key provided is a very common 5/32", the upshot being that the key is slightly too small for the screw heads and is prone to stripping them or getting stuck inside them without too much effort. If you want to make sure the BB configuration is secure, I'd recommend using the correct key size, if you can find one.One thing I've noticed is that the product description is off in a few ways. The DB's in the 200lb set are not 18", they're 17.5" (6" of space for the plates on either side, 5.5" handle plus plate-stops). The connector bar is not 12", it's 11⅝". And finally, the 200 lb set comes with 4 x 2.4 lb plates, not 2.The fully assembled bar, with connector screwed on as far as it will go, is about 43" long.The full 200 lb set came with:16 10lb plates4 5lb plates4 2.5lb plates (opposed to 2 x 2.5 lb in product description)for a total of 190 lbs (nominal) worth of plates.2 hex-driven tightening screws for the connector bar1 hex key to drive the tightening screwsI assumed that the bar was supposed to make up the missing 10 lbs to make the total 200 lbs advertised, and that's about right. However, out of curiosity I took the trouble to weight the individual parts.Each DB bar is 1580g give or take a few grams, or about 3.5 lbs rounding to nearest 10th.The connector bar is 532g, give or take a few grams, or about 1.2 lbs rounding to nearest 10thEach collar is 220g, give or take a few grams, or about 0.5 lbs rounding to nearest 10th.It should be noted that all true weight measurements given in grams are less than the rounded values given in lbs, i.e. they all happen to be rounded up. So the true weight of both DB bars, the connector, and ALL 4 collars is just a few grams over 10 lbs, but the rounded values help make other configurations easier to manage:(rounding again to the nearest 1/2 lb)1 DB with 2 collars ≈ 4.5 lbs2 DBs with 4 collars ≈ 9 lbsBB config A (2 DBs, connector, 2 collars) 9 lbsBB config B (2 DBs, connector, 4 collars) 10 lbsEach plate, independent of weight, is about 5/8" thick, and each 6" threaded section of DB can accommodate 7 plates with room for collars, except for when using the connector bar, in which case each inside section can accommodate 6 plates, meaning that the most plates that can ever fit the fully assembled bar with collars is 2x7+2x6 = 26 (but note that a 26 plate configuration must ommit 2 collars which would otherwise go on the inside DB ends). From this we get the maximum weight of each configuration (assuming a max plate weight of 10lbs):1 full DB with collars (14 plates): 4.5 + 140 = 144.5 lbs2 full DB with collars:Theoretical (28 plates): 2 x 144.5 = 289 lbsWith 200 lb set (26 plates): 2 x (8x10 + 2x5 + 2x2.5 + 4.5) = 99.5 lbsFull BB config A with 2 collars (14 plates): 9 + 140 = 149 lbsFull BB config B with 2–4 collars:Theoretical (26 plates): 9 + 260 = 269 lbs(remember that 2 collars must be omitted, hence a 9 lb bar instead of 10)With 200 lb set (24 plates): 10 + 16x10+4x5+4x2.5 = 200 lbsOf course, one could always increase the weight by adding heavier plates obtained elsewhere, but they would likely be thicker and so it's not possible to say just how much weight could actually fit on the bars. And that's all without considering the physical integrity of the bars themselves, which I have no information on except that they, presumably, can safely handle the included 190 lbs worth of plates included in the 200 lb set.This was all the information I would've liked to know before spending $400 to have 200 lbs worth of equipment shipped to my home.As of now, I believe this was fully worth the purchase price
