I always wanted a home gym so after a lot of research decided on Bells of Steel as it seemed high quality and a reasonable price. I bought the barenaked power bar and so far it is AWESOME! I love how deep the gnarls are on the bar and it great for home work outs. Also just bought a bench and squat stands so looking forward to trying them out. Quick deliver and all the items were in perfect condition when I got them. Defiantly be buying more stuff in the future.

The plates seem to be working fine but I have to say I was somewhat disappointed with the overall look and quality of them. The quality control seems to be off a bit as the rubber is split in some areas, rubber goes over the steel incert and one seemed like it warped. If you care about esthetics they seem to off compared to other brands. As I have mentioned before, shipping packaging was terrible and I'm surprised it was allowed to leave the building looking like that. The UPS guy even had one fall out of the box on my porch. Thankfully they're supposed to bounce. That said, since I am new to this whole home gym thing perhaps that's how they all get shipped and these blemishes on the plates are normal. Over though, they do what I need and I am enjoying my gym and other BOS products.
