Best Strength Training Plate Trees of 2025

“I got this CAP rack to store my CAP Olympic plate weights. The price was fantastic, and it's sturdy and well-made. Assembly was super easy—just two leg brackets with four bolts. Quickest setup I've ever had! We keep returning to CAP products, and they never disappoint.”

“I was initially worried about the flimsiness, but this rack is actually very sturdy. I currently have 400 pounds of weight plates on it, and it feels solid. No signs of fatigue on any part of the rack.”

“I’m quite pleased with this plate rack. It’s great value for money and has enough height for comfortable use. Assembly was a breeze with four screws and nuts, and the build quality is sturdy. I appreciate the numerous slots for my weight plates.”

"As someone dedicated to my home gym, I find the Fitness Reality X-Class Olympic Weight Tree to be a game-changer. Its robust bumper plate rack keeps everything organized, and it easily holds all my weights. The thoughtful design, with space for bars, is perfect for my limited area. Assembly was a breeze, and it transformed my workout space into a tidy haven. I highly recommend this product!"

"I purchased this rack a year ago and love its space-saving design. I made the mistake of buying a Marcy rack recently, but its powder-coated posts didn't fit my bumper plates well. The Fitness Reality rack, with its polished stainless steel posts, allows my plates to fit perfectly without getting stuck. I really wish I had bought a second one!"

"I've owned this weight rack for over a year now, and it’s held up beautifully without any rust. I have over 400 lbs on it, and it's incredibly sturdy. I would definitely buy this again!"

"As a home gym enthusiast, weight plate clutter was my arch nemesis. This rack has been a game-changer! It's compact but mighty, holding all my standard 1-inch weight plates without taking up much space. Sturdy and secure, it was easy to assemble with clear instructions. The angled plate holders and rubber caps are nice touches for convenience and floor protection. Plus, it's budget-friendly!"

"I needed something to hold my 160lbs of weights in my basement workout space. The price was right, and I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of assembly and quality. It's super sturdy and takes up a small footprint. One post wasn't as tight as others, but it doesn't affect usability. This rack is perfect for beginners!"

"I used to keep my plates stacked on the floor, which felt messy. After buying this weight stand, I'm very pleased. It was super easy to assemble, sits firm and square with no rocking, and can hold a total of 200 lbs without any issues. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to organize their weights!"

"I couldn't be happier with how durable this weight tree is and how much weight it can hold. The spacing between the posts allows any size weight plate to fit any level, and even loaded with about 400lbs, it rolls around the garage fine when locked."

"Assembling this unit was a breeze, and I'm very pleased with its sturdiness. I was surprised that it could hold full diameter plates on both the top and bottom rungs. The removable Olympic sleeves are a fantastic feature for those with standard weights, freeing up a lot of space in my garage gym."

"Overall, this is a solid item that stacks well. We have around 150kg and 200kg on it, and it holds one barbell while taking up very little space in my gym."

"I purchased this rack that was returned to Amazon, and it was cheaper yet still in like-new condition. The only slightly tricky part was tightening the top 2 posts; you just have to angle the allen wrench correctly. If you plan to store more than 300 pounds of plates, consider a different option, as the posts only fit 3 45-pound plates."

"I rarely write reviews, but I had to share my experience. I've been working out for 20 years, and this rack is an amazing value. It's well-made, solid, and saves a lot of space in my home gym. Assembly was straightforward; it took me no longer than 10-15 minutes. It works perfectly with any pair of plates. If you have more than two pairs of 45 plates, a larger rack might be better, but I highly recommend this one!"

"This weight tree is exactly what I hoped for, especially given the price. I needed an affordable storage solution for my home gym, and this was perfect. While I heard it might be challenging to screw in the top 2 posts, I had no problems. The allen key could be a touch smaller, but it was manageable. Overall, the tree is sturdy and compact, so it doesn't take up too much room. I'm very satisfied!"

"I bought this weight stand for my home gym, and it fits perfectly in my weight room. It doesn’t take up much space and feels very solid. The powder coating and color are great too! I would definitely recommend it."

"This weight plate stand is a work of art! It’s absolutely gorgeous! I love the bright red color that pops against my black bumper plates and Olympic curl bars. Assembly was simple—just six bolts and three twist knobs in 15 minutes. It holds my 2” Olympic plates and bars without any issues. The stand is straight and true with 260 lbs loaded, making it a great addition to my home gym!"

"I got this for my garage gym and loaded it with 320 lbs of bumper plates plus a barbell, and I’ve had no issues at all. Easy assembly, and it holds everything as expected!"

"I got this to hold my Olympic weight plates in my home gym. It was a huge pain to assemble, and a big heavy piece fell on my foot while I tried to balance it. However, it has been fantastic ever since! I love the design and stability due to its triangular shape. I currently have about 350 lbs of weights on this tree, and it's very sturdy!"

"I read reviews claiming this rack is flimsy. Let me correct that! Mine is very sturdy and well made. It took me 45 minutes to assemble alone, which was a bit challenging, but now I have a cool weights rack that holds all my weights neatly."

"This is an excellent free weight stand for organizing my weights. I assembled it quickly with an impact driver, and it has solid structural integrity. There's a bit of insignificant flex when handling weights, but it remains very stable. I’m also pleased with the spring clips for safety."

"I find this equipment to be very solid and well worth the price. It features thick square tubing with heavy steel sleeves, unlike many alternatives that use cheap plastic. The wheels roll smoothly and can be locked in place, which prevents unwanted movement. It was also extremely well packed and easy to assemble. When I had a question, Lionscool responded quickly, showcasing their excellent customer service. I recommend this product without hesitation!"

"For the price of $116 on sale, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and sturdiness of this product. It boasts nice welds, a powder coat, and even rubber leveling feet and rings to protect the plates. However, I think Lionscool needs to improve their packaging for the nuts and bolts, as they didn't all stay together. Despite a few minor issues, this rack is perfect for storing my plates and will hold up well over time."

"I really enjoy the stability and maneuverability of the plate storage, but I've had a tough time with the barbell storage. The design uses a compression sleeve that works well in theory, but it makes it extremely difficult to remove the barbells once they're in. I've tried multiple high-quality bars, and they all got stuck. I had to turn the rack on its side just to get one out! While the plate storage is great, I’d suggest a redesign for the barbell holders to make it more user-friendly."

"I just built a garage gym and needed a weight tree. This thing is fantastic—it has space for all my weights plus two bars. It moves easily, and the locking function is key. The material is sturdy and it was easy to put together. Best value product I could find for the price. I highly recommend it! Also, it shipped much faster than expected."

"Putting this unit together was very simple; it took me about 35 minutes. The weight rolls are so easy to stack on anything. It has a gorgeous finish, and not only does it look good, but it's also practical for home use. The wheels are designed to carry 600-700 pounds and move effortlessly. I would give it 15 stars if I could!"

"Upon assembling, I noticed the details, or lack thereof. It appears robust and has a great design. It holds 320 lbs with ease and can be easily moved. The wheels are hearty, and the locking function operates smoothly. Overall, I rate this at 3.8; it’s priced a bit high for the metal quality, but I would definitely recommend it."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality and strength of this vertical weight holder. It holds 280 lbs of weights and for the price I paid, it’s a bargain compared to competitors that are much heavier and significantly more expensive. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cost-effective weight stand."

"It took me just about 20 minutes to install this product. The instructions were straightforward, and it feels very sturdy, holding my 225 lbs without any issues. I appreciate how it doesn’t take up much space while accommodating two Olympic bars and providing ample room between weights."

"While the product is functional and easy to set up, I found that one of the bars was too large for my plates, which limits its utility. That’s why I can’t give it a full 5 stars."
