Love the small footprint, but I'm concerned whether it's wide enough to hold mid-weight dumbbells? Can it hold three pairs of 30-50lb across, or two?

Sounds like the run of 30-50 are 4.5" to 5" wide on the average for each dumbbell plus add a little room to pull the dumbbells in and out of the rack you would be more than 30" wide. So probably not gong to hold three pairs. Double check the width of your particular dumbells to be sure. Patio Splash

The dimension of the shelf (area to place weights) is just shy of 24 1/2". Depending on how the dumbells are made, you should easily be able to put 3 or 4 across. We have 4 35lb weights on one shelf with room to spare.

This item will only hold two if the 30-50 lb pair of dumbbells going across.

If you are short, yes. It is very short and wobbles because of the weak connections to the base. This bench is not good for what it was made for. If there is anything a workout bench should be it's sturdy.

At 5'8" I was able to do dumbbell flys with a barbell on the rack with weight plates on it. With 50lb weight plates I had to scoot down a bit, but with anything less I had no problem. My buddy at 6'2" could not and we had to take the barbell off the rack. If you are shorter or have short arms you should be good to go, if not, you may want to look for something else if you don't want to always be moving plates.

The dimensions would indicate good size; however, the configuration of the bars is such that the rack does not hold as much as you would think. Many of the bars are directly below others so larger items such as jeans overlap. On the other hand, it is sturdy and folds up easily.

I can tell you it will hold 4 ordinary bikes. The newer E-Mountain bikes which I purchased this for, it has issues with securing. The unit is very heavy and cumbersome. If you are not use to holding weight up and aligning, you may need two people. The unit is built very well.

It depends on how you're using it, but, yes, it will be too floppy. It doesn't hurt to buy different sizes because certain exercises we use them for in class requires various weights. Again, depending on what exercises you are doing, you could purchase dumbells as well.

Good question John, after trying out the weights, you can put up to 100 lbs with small 10 lb plates but you can fit the 25 lb plates on each side. I have tried it and even three 25 lb plates on each side for bit remember its not a long straight bar so just be careful, but test it out

It doesn't seem to be a problem. It's a few inches of gap. It does not affect the bench. I will say this. It is not commercial grade gym quality bench. It can get a little wobbly when using heavy weight. I bench 225. It's great for dumbbells and the preacher curl is a huge plus but again a little wobbly with heavy weight. I find this bench to be one if best out there.

My wife used 3 lb dumbbells and thought they were too light so she upped to 5 lb weights and they seemed to do the trick. Hope that helps.

I used a pair of 90 lb. dumbbells and there was no issue. However, using the hooks takes some practice. Like any new exercise, start with lighter weights until you get used to the range of motion. I found that putting the hooks back on the bar was awkward at first. Sighting the bar and aligning the hooks takes some practice.

I doubt it because I don't think the bottom shelf is wide enough for something that round to balance on it. When I carry 2 50lb feed bags upright I use bungee cords. I would measure it but it's at Purdue with my daughter. Sorry but I called her and she said doubtful as well.

I have put 85 pound dumbbells in these with no issue so I am sure you could.

It does hold five sets on each row but I hang them and it still fits the same amount 20 pairs per rack. Hang the heel on the bars it looks better fits and they better

Not noticeable at all to me -- I really like this bench for dumbbell workouts. I'm 6 ft and 180 pounds and it supports me perfectly.

Not very wide. I'd be completely satisfied with this bench if it could hold a decent amount of weight in the flat position. Bent one bench and got a replacement. Second one started to bend and I prop it up with blocks now. If I had to do it again I'd just but a fixed flat bench.

The rack will hold a lot. The problem is that it's not durable and tends to be top heavy and can fall over of too much weight is put on it. I put little girl dresses on the rack and I put about 30-40 (sizes 2-10). Probably not the best idea. I needed up buying different racks. It's good to keep at home for personal use!!!!

yes,it can hold them all,but depending on the frame design on the smaller bikes,they can be a little tricky to strap down.
