I could tell when I was building this rack that it will be around for awhile. The pieces are solid, and even the round steel tubes that hold the dumbbells are solid! I was worried they would say in the middle. We will fear not, I have over 100 lbs of dumbbells on the bottom rack and it hasnt sagged one bit. The plate holders are durable as well, but Im not a fan of the plastic sleeves that slide over the steel tube (the plastic sleeve gives the plate holders their first to hold standard plates). Overall, this is a quality piece of equipment, perfect for my home gym, and well worth the money.
