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.

This product works so well. It folds very flat for storage but when it’s open it’s extremely sturdy and solid. It has a pretty small footprint in my bedroom—it’s not much bigger than the weights would be side by side on the floor where they used to be, but it feels firmly planted in place and doesn’t wobble or feel unsafe. The metal used in it is thick and has a very high quality-feeling, smooth, polished finish. It also comes with grip pads that you can choose to put on or leave off. They were easy to line up and stick on, and they have a nice grippy rubber texture that holds the weighs in place without allowing them to slide around unnecessarily. I’m 5’8”, and I have to lift the weights up a bit out of their slots when I’m picking them up to do a workout. It works ok for me, but I imagine it would be harder for someone a lot shorter than me and easier for someone taller than me. It seems to be a good height so I imagine that someone who’s shorter than 6’2”-ish wouldn’t have to bend too much to pick up their weights. I have small kids so I worried this stand would fold easily or be prone to tipping—but after seeing it in person, I think it’s probably not going anywhere, even if my kids try to mess with it. It’s also a game changer for quick weight changes during workouts—the slots for the adder weights in the middle of the stand are especially helpful (fyi, those are only available on the larger stand that supports up to 90 pounds). I use mine with a powerblock pro expandable set. I have 50 pound weights right now, but there’s extra space on the rack for when I want to buy the 70 and 90 pound extensions. Mine arrived with one of the plastic feet broken (just due to some careless shipping by Amazon). I was annoyed at this and considered a return and replacement but I didn’t want to deal with that. I knew powerblock is a quality company and I love their products, so instead of returning it for another and dealing with the hassle of the exchange, I just got onto powerblock’s website and submitted a request for a replacement part. I explained that it was broken before it arrived, so they worked with me for no charge. They responded with a clarifying question the next business day, and as soon as that question was answered they sent me a notice that the new plastic foot would be shipped free of charge and ASAP. It arrived a few days later in the mail. Amazing customer service. Virtually no questions asked, and they were so quick to help. The product itself is sturdy and SOLID, and is a game changer for changing weights and storing the weights during and between workouts.

Works great for my powerblocks. I didn’t want the other bulky stands, but a stand makes adjusting and using the powerblocks 10x better. Very sturdy and haven’t had it move when using it, but I dont don’t slam them, I set them.

I was looking at the dumbbell stand for cheap pair of power blocks that i got from craigslist, these are U90 with expansion only till 70. Following were my requirements :-- Should not take much space, this was clearly a winner. I stow my adjustable kettle bell below so I can use tthe below space too.- Can be folded out for storage when not in use. Great for transporting as well.- Should be sturdy and not wobble. Rubber pads at the bottom are bonus so these do not dig into the floor.- Should be cheap and not expensive, I was able to get these for $69 + taxes after tracking the price.- Should be able to withstand weight up to 180 pounds each. There are 2 variants, one is large and other is small, I went with large for this purpose.- Able to hold the 2.5 metal blocks specific to power blocks.I would say this stand was able to meet all the above expectations and beyond. Assembly only required me sticking the anti slip material. The height is perfect and helps to keep my lower back healthy by not lifting the weight from the floor. I considered the column stand but the space saving feature had me go with this one. It is sturdy and does not wobble on day to day use. Highly recommend this over the column stand or the small compact variant. I will update more if I find something worth sharing.**If you find my review useful then please click the 'Yes' in helpful.
