The Problem
Those adjustable dumbbells on the ground are annoying, but so is paying for storage after purchasing an expensive set. Spending hours on a DIY project doesn’t sound like a good use of time either. In addition, it’s likely that if your adjustable dumbbells are on the ground, they probably are not as used as much as they should be. It’s easy to ignore, and you may not be getting the full value out of them.

A Relatively Affordable Solution
Below is a look at the V3 Dumbbell Stand and Plate Tree. This stand is designed to hold a pair of dumbbells (adjustable or not) plus smaller plates at the bottom. With the option to hold additional weight, it’s more versatile than other options on the market. Plus, it’s cheaper than most alternatives. The stand is solidly built and ensures a better experience using adjustable dumbbells than without a stand.
SPECS and Quality Observations
- The overall height is 28.1 inches, which is going to be thigh level for most. It’s the ideal length to pick up and drop in your dumbbells conveniently.
- This unit weighs 35 lbs and has a weight capacity of 260 lbs. It feels like it can handle much more than that.
- There is enough space for NuoBells, Bowflex 552s, and most Powerblocks within the top space for dumbbells. The overall space to rest the dumbbells on top is 7.875″ W x 19.375 L. Therefore, any option within this space will fit.
- If you own just a single pair of traditional dumbbells, the stand will help get those off the ground as well. The angled surface ensures an easy pickup of any dumbbell, and the bottom is enclosed to assure they do not slide off.
- The steel is powder-coated black, and the welds are clean. The overall appearance of this stand is sharp! The powder coat will get scraped up over time.
- The overall stability of this is solid. A fifth foot on the front was added to the front and helps keep it locked in. Even if you were to take one of the adjustable dumbbells from the top, it still feels solid. There is zero fear of it ever tipping.
- Four 1″ weight pegs are added at the bottom. This is a good spot to store smaller plates. It would be nice to have a 2″ option because that is likely what most would put there. Nevertheless, the plates are still in a comfortable position here with just a little bit of lag.
Other Options
In general, this is the best value option for storing adjustable dumbbells.
- After shipping, this is priced similarly to the cheapest storage options from Powerblock, which do not have additional space for plates at the bottom. Ironmaster and NuoBell stands are at least 50% more expensive as well, with shipping in mind.
- Rogue also offers a Powerblock Cart that has some additional space for other items like kettlebells. The price is listed below 😲.
Conclusion
There aren’t any other adjustable dumbbell storage options that are this versatile, especially for the price. While not overbuilt, this is a solid option that has the ability to hold a good amount of weight. It will make your adjustable dumbbell experience much smoother if they are currently sitting on the ground.
