MARCYStandard Weight Plate Tree for 1-Inch Plates for Home Gym, 300 lb. Max. Capacity PT-5733

After I bought a weight bench and rack, and weights for my strength training, I found that the paltry 2 plate holders provided with the weight rack were oriented inconveniently and definitely not enough. I saw this one for a very reasonable price so bought it, and was surprised with the quality of the finish on the pieces, the good fit which made the assembly a breeze, with all the hardware on a cardboard blister pack, numbered, and even allen keys provided (you provide a crescent wrench), and a nice assembly diagram. Took me 20 minutes to finish the assembly. Looks nice, sturdy enough for all my plates (195lbs shown in picture, I only have 30lbs more currently on my bar bell), and much more convenient than trying to hang them on the rack. Overall, very happy of the value for what I paid for, no problem at all with the strength, only dinged it a bit because the plate axles do have a bit of play (but absolutely no risk of any of the plates falling) as they are mounted through the main frame but only held by a cross-bolt.

I read in other reviews that this is not the best weights rack out there, that it is "flimsy" and unstable. Well let me correct you. I don't know if it is the best of all weights rack, but it sure is very strudy and not at all "flimsy". Mine looks and feels very well made. It came with all parts (I read some have received this with missing parts for some reason) and a very easy to understand how to install instructions. However, it was not at all the easiest to assemble. It took me 45 minutes to do it all on my own with no help. It wasn't easy. You have to have the skills of a rubber man to both hold the nut and the bolt at the same time and try keep the entire device in one place holding it from falling apart.Anyway, after 45 min. I had myself a pretty cool weights rack that holds all of my weights in one place. My room looks a lot more neat now and to me it is what matters the most.Worth buying.

Have been meaning to build a weight rack to complement the DIY dumbbell rack I made many years ago but decided to give this Marcy one a try. It’s well designed and manufactured and the fasteners are well organized and good quality.Assembly instructions are just graphics so you’ll probably have to redo some parts; just hand-tighten all fasteners until the whole thing is rough assembled and the details will make sense. Three hex keys are included; all you need is a crescent wrench or decent pair of pliers to hold the locking nuts while you tighten the machine screws.Once all the fasteners are snugged up firmly, the structure is quite stable. The 5 extensions that hold the plates wiggle a little but are just fine once a plate is loaded. It is holding 275 pounds of 1” ID plates, including multiple 50#, 25#, 10# $ 5# with no problems. Durability should be excellent.

So I opened the box and the stand was completely upright and done in 1hr and 5 minutes. No written instructions but the pics are clear and pretty easy to follow. My suggestion is build one side first, then add the floor/low cross member and do the others. The shrink wrap of the screws, nuts, bolts, etc is firm. Usea card table. It is very sturdy, I have 200 pounds on it, fine. The stability is fine but it isn't exactly flat so there is maybe a 1/4" off and without weight it will wobble a "tiny" bit but not worth any issues. AND it could be that I wasn't sure which top most 'tab' (labeled one and two) went over the other. Mine is one over two, but hey, it holds the weight, it is NOT going to fall over and its well designed. Marcy should make a "sleeve" to convert a couple of the weight rods (that the weights slide onto) from 1" to 2". I have mostly 1" but some 8 plates are 2"... the product is better made than the price might indicate.

Very functional. Perfect for my home gym.

I bought this brand partly on the strength of a Marcy weight stack machine I bought about 25 years ago that held up very well. This unit is likewise built to last. Only quibble is branches wobble slightly due to the way they’re fixed to the limbs, but they seem sturdy enough. Assembly took about an hour, but I wasn’t rushing because it was kinda fun. The parts arrived well organized and the instructions clear. Overall a solid choice.

Product is solid and can hold weight. It's great, specially for the price.

Seems to be adequate for what the price was. Would have like for it to be a bit more heavy duty. Was easy to install and has taken care of the "mess" of weights all around the bench.
