This was the first barbell I got back in 2018 when I started to get some home gym items. It served it's purpose but I did have to replace it due to the bolts that attach the sleeves shearing off, something I felt was a result of product quality rather than type of use.

I got a few sets of these in 55, 25, 15, & 10s just before the Covid home gym price explosion. Overall they where very high quality plates and the weight was accurate, I'd say the 10 & 15s stood out the most because they just felt more sturdy than your typical bumpers at those sizes.

I picked these up as factory seconds and they have a few visible bubbles, but nothing that affects performance. Not perfect cosmetically, but a solid value if you don’t mind a few imperfections.

I picked these up as factory seconds because the price was too good to pass up, not really knowing what to expect. Honestly, I can’t find anything wrong with the pair I got. I really like the slimmer profile compared to standard crumb rubber bumpers since it gives you more room on the bar. They’re not the most premium plates out there, but they feel solid and well-made for the price and are a great value if you want functional bumpers without spending top dollar.

It’s a budget-friendly Amazon piece that’s functional, but I’m just not a fan of the handle shape, and while it’s mostly plastic, it’s held up fine so far without any issues.
