Content warning: Regret This plate tree does exactly what it should and if you are trying to slim up your gym budget, this is a tempting buy over Rogue's plate tree. I've used Rogue plate trees at my gym for a few years, and I bought this, thinking it would be functionally equivalent, but a hundred or two cheaper. Functionally, they are not the same. Two reasons: - I currently have 8x45lbs, 2x35, 2x25, 4x10, 4x5, and 2x2.5 plates. This rack was made with only up to 4 of the larger plates in mind. Having 8 45's fills up the bottom two poles, and I have to put my 25s over my 35s. Only a problem if you are weirdly particular about organization. The Rogue tree has so much more capacity. Everything could have it's own arm. I'll eventually get a rogue tree and leave this for smaller plates and change plates, using the rogue tree for 45's and bumpers. - The upward angle means you need two hands to take plates off. Rogue's are perpendicular to the ground and has easy one-hand operations.

None of the reviews made it clear if this A-Frame Plate Tree would be compatible with Rouge Bumper Plates. The answer is Yes and here are pictures. It works great for me because I don’t lift very heavy. But if you do, then get the bigger tree. *The side with three posts; the top one and middle one do not fit the bumper plate, it only fits steel plates, the bottom one does fit bumper plates (per picture).

Bolts were just floating around in the box with no separate package to keep them together. The damage is in one of the bases and in the frame itself. I could probably pound it out and buy a nut. But I shouldn't have to. Also you have to pay for shipping to return it. If I'm getting a damaged product, why should I have to pay for shipping. It's not my fault I got a damage product. It's Rogue and York Barbell's fault.

Good way to store weights in my home gym, much better than the floor

This thing is holding 10 45Lbs plates ,4 25Lbs 2 10's and more!

This does what it says it does, but I wish the post diameter was smaller so you could just pull the weights off with one hand. As it is, you need to use two hands to slide both sides of the plates off. I’ve used some with smaller posts and it is a snap to load and unload one handed. Otherwise it is sturdy and holds quite a bit of weight.

I have almost 1000lbs of calibrated plates sitting on this thing at this point. Other than a few friends crushing their thumbs trying to pull plates off of this, it has served us well.

its a great improvement to our home gym. Well built and very sturdy.
