This is so far from being a premium product. Just opening it right out of the box, just about every part had chipped off paint or scuffs in some manner, with a few pieces showing signs of surface rust, and the bolt pack appearing to have been ripped open and taped back shut. The thin paint that is left scratches easily just from shifting parts around during assembly. There’s no listed thickness, but this steel bends under the pressure of tightening the bolts for the unit to be sturdy enough to handle your weights. Overall it just feels very cheap and entry-level. $200 is just too steep for this level of quality, and I chose to return it in less than a day. It could work for you, but everything about it says it won’t last long. Downgrade to the fixed-position Fitness Gear version of this to save some cash or try to save up more and find something legitimately premium, with heavier duty steel and more versatile, modular shelving. I will say I was able to load 190 lbs of bumper plates and roughly ~75lbs of dumbbells and gear of the shelves and it seemed to handle that well enough. The order and height of the shelves is also adjustable. If you’re still into it, Dick’s shares almost no detailed product info, so here’s what I measured (rough estimates considering this is imported and exact measurements would be in mm): Width w/o plate pegs: 40 in Upright Depth, not including feet: 8.5 in Upright dimensions: 2x2 in Upright Hole spacing: 2.25 in Plate peg length: 8 in. Distance between plate pegs: 17.25 in Inside Length of shelf: 35 in (bolts take up about .5 in on each side) Inside depth of shelf: 7.75 in. Inside Length of DB rails: 35 in Distance between dumbbell rails: 4.5 in (if you flip them upside down, you get about 7.75 in of space)
