I already had a couple 15 lb dumbbells, and I wanted to add heavier weights to my collection. The casting of the Weider dumbbell is a bit rough, but frankly, I don't really care. The weight is pretty accurate (at least according to my scale), and the grip is nice. Since I bought the 20lb Weider dumbbell at a heck of a good discount (I think it was about half off), I've got no complaints! Too bad they only had one left in stock when I really wanted two....

I purchased two of these items because the price. I ordered them on line. I believed that all I had to do was to pick them up at the service counter. Truth be told, I could have purchased them at the store eaiser and faster than on line. The items presented to me at the service counter were mis-matched...were two different colors. I did ask if I could go pick out two more similar or matching colors/products. When I got them home, a closer look reveled poor welds with sharp edges.
