How many 45lb plates can this hold? Will it tip over easily if the 45s are all on one side? I have 7 45lb plates and a variety of smaller plates.

I don't think it can handle 7. I know it can't all on one side. This is from memory, but I think each peg can hold around 100 lbs max. I have 2 45s on the only two bottom peg's that can hold them and I personally don't think the pegs could safely hold much more. Hope this helps.

The lower rungs can hold 4. On two of the sides, the spacing may be an issue for fitting other plates on the rung above it as well as the 45's on the bottom. The arms are tilted inward and won't tip for the plates.

It shouldn't tip over, no matter how many plates you put on it. There have been several times when I've taken all of the plates off of one side and it's never looked like it was going to tip over. As to how many 45s it will hold, I'm not sure. I use this stand for all of my 'smaller' plates (2.5 - 25). That's a lot of plates and it holds all of them.

This is perfectly fine and safe for you to use. As long as the weight plates are 2 inches, you should be fine.

All the weights SHOULD fit on one bar, but the clamps/spindles aren't very good on this set so the plates may shift or fall off if you're maxing out a bar.

I use an Olympic set. It is a bit shaky but I've never been worried that it would tip over or anything.

The 6 foot bar is a little short. The plates will not be outside the rack. I modified my 6 foot standard bar by wrapping duct tape around the bar to stop the plates from moving on the bar.

It's designed only for this specific plate. Different plate may not fit and will have different weight.

I am currently stacking mine 3 up on a shelf in my closet. They are remarkably sturdy when loaded with a dozen plates. I think you will be safe stacking up to four boxes tall especially if you put the lightest boxes on top.

The Augusta Black Horizontal Plate rack holds 4 small plates. There is not enough room for large plates. Look at the holders at the bottom of the picture. You can count 8 holders.

My experience is that 11" is ok but the thickness of a stoneware plate can cause it to lean forward & be somewhat unstable. This rack is more sturdy which is good but just be aware of that possible issue. Good luck!

I had 35 on each bar and it was fine until I set it down. The bars bend very easily because they are cheap. If you don't slam your weights you should be ok. Would put them over your head though, look for a threaded handle for that.

This is a gift for my mom for Christmas; so I don't have access to it to know for sure. I guess you could display plates on it. I believe it would be too small for 2 plates and will have room to spare with 1 plate.

never measured but I can tell you this, I can put 4 25lb plates on each side if that helps and still have room for another on both sides.

In my opinion it is quite stable. If you hang a several heavy jackets on one side and not the other it will tip, but otherwise it does not.

I have not tried putting 45 lbs on this stand but I would assume that it will not withstand that at long periods of time. The base is glass which is rigid but the thickness may not stand a 45 lbs.

I bought this for storing plates and it works well for me. One thing to consider though is the thickness profile of your plate. Because of the wider spacing of the supports, if you plates are thin and have a low profile they will lean back more. You could put more than one plate in between the supports in that case. My plates are thick and have a higher profile (almost like a shallow bowl) so they stand up nicely. One advantage of storing your plates this way is your plates do not get scratched from stacking on each other. This can be an issue with some types of ceramic and stoneware types. Another nice feature is the easy access to each individual plate.

I purchased and olympic weight set prior to purchasing the bd-7. I have a 7 foot bar, 4 10 pound plates, 2 25 pound plates, 2 35 pound plate, and 2 45 pound plates. I also have 2 five pound plates and 2 2.5 pound plates, all olympic sized and they fit fine on the rack. I also have a 5 foot olympic bar and it just barely fits. So If you go to a sports store, you can look for a olympic weight lifting set and it should fit fine. I also purchased the dip bar attachement to the rack and love it. This is a great rack and I recommend it highly. You will not be disappointed!

It depends on the diameter of the weights you are placing on it. You can estimate 1/2 of the diameter of any plate you use. Thank you!
