PowerBlock Large Compact Stand, Dumbbell Rack & Weight Rack, Folds Flat for Easy Storage, Use Expandable Dumbbells, Home Gym Strength Training

I bought the PowerBlock Large Compact Stand along with my PowerBlock EXP Stage 1 Adjustable Dumbbell Set back in 2020 as part of my home gym setup during COVID, and it’s been a rock-solid addition ever since. I already left a review for the dumbbells (which I still love), but the stand deserves its own praise—this thing really pulls the setup together.Functionally, it makes a big difference. Before I had the stand, I was using the dumbbells off the floor, and while that worked, it wasn’t ideal. Constantly bending over to adjust the weights or pick them up got old fast. Once I added the stand, everything became easier and more ergonomic. The height is just right—no more awkward crouching or fumbling with the selector pin at floor level. It streamlines every workout.Durability-wise, this stand is built like a tank. The steel frame is solid, the finish has held up well, and it still looks almost new after years of use. It doesn’t wobble or shift, even during fast-paced workouts. The shelf surface is tough and handles the weight of the dumbbells without flinching. I've accidentally dropped weights onto it a few times, and it barely shows a mark.The design is compact, which is a huge plus in a smaller home gym space. It holds the EXP Stage 1 dumbbells perfectly with room to spare, and there’s even some extra space underneath for storing a few smaller items like resistance bands or yoga blocks. I also appreciate the clean, simple look—it fits in with the rest of my gear without being bulky or in the way.If you’ve already invested in the PowerBlock dumbbells, I really think the stand is worth getting. It keeps things organized, saves your back, and just makes the whole setup more professional and user-friendly. For something I initially thought of as optional, it turned out to be one of those pieces of equipment I wouldn't want to go without.This was part of my 2020 COVID purchase, and like the dumbbells, it’s held up over time and continues to be a key part of my workouts. Highly recommend it if you want to get the most out of your PowerBlocks.

When you get tired of bending over to pick up your heavy weights before you purposely move them around in various ways in an attempt to get stronger, this stand works awesome. I thought it may be flimsy but its surprisingly sturdy. If you're thinking about getting it, just do it. It's only money.

Gets the job done. Some mentioned issues holding the 2.5 in the holes but I found as long as the dot side is up there is no issues with tipping or leaning.

Used this to hold my adjustable 52.5lb Bowflex dumbbells. (Heresy, I know.) Fits almost perfectly with a teeny tiny bit of the base overhanging the edge of the stand, but still sits solidly on it.

I was skeptical at first due to other reviews mentioning the adder weights not sitting firmly in the holes, but another reviewer's suggestion of adding disc magnets (30x3 neodymium with adhesive) worked great and now it's perfect.

I purchased this before tariffs. I am unsure if the price has gone up since purchase but at the time, i considered this a luxury item to get if you have the powerblocks. It is cheaper than the the name brand stand and was very surprised at how sturdy it is. I have 90lbs on both powerblocks and the stand is solid. I just wish it was cheaper and maybe a bit taller.

Holds both sets of handles, and full stacks of weights (90 pounds each) effortlessly. Great addition and the additional adder weights space was a bonus!

Very durable!
