I had been trying to get something exactly like this for the past year, since the beginning of covid. But everything was sold out every where. First of all, I love amstaff products, they're my go too. Not only because of their lower prices and good looking equipment, compared to most, if not all other companies, but also the pretty good quality of their products. Combined with the fact that they ship to Canada, and charge very low shipping costs, and no import fees, compared to everyone else. With that being said, this plate tree is the exact design that I was looking for to suit my needs. Comparable models from other companies like York, are 2-3 times the costs, and most aren't even better quality/features. I really like this tree, and it has not only made my life easier and saved my back, from constantly bending down to pick up and rest plates on the floor, but it has tidied up my workout area a ton. My only issue with it, is that the way that it is held together in the middle where the tree connects to the base, could be a bit better design. It has bolts holding it in on the sides, but not top to bottom, which allows it to some what be able to shift from side to side, depending on how much weight you have on it and how they are balanced. I mean obviously you have to be careful and have to keep the weight even on both sides which I do. I mean you get what you pay for and obvious for $100 this is residential, not commercial application. I'm going to drill out and put 2 more bolts going from top to the bottom, were it connects to the base and see if that helps. Great product for the price

Pleasantly surprised. I wasn't expecting a super rigid, bullet proof tree, but it is sturdier than I hoped for. It easily handles my 315kg of plates plus ~65kg of barbells, dumbbell handles, collars, etc. The reason I bought it was because it was among the only trees to accommodate the diameters of calibrated powerlifting kilogram plates, and by far the cheapest I found. Quite pleased with myself.

This is a sturdy product that hold as much weight as others racks/trees AND holds up to six olympic bars at the same time. It keeps gym equipment nicely organized. I purchased several other products from this vendor and always received great customers services. Bottom line, this is a well made product sold by a great vendor.

This plate tree is a beast. Assembled properly, it can handle a lot of plates while keeping solid. I've loaded it with every Olympic plate I own (545lbs) and it doesn't budge (although I wouldn't recommend keeping this much weight stored on the rack all the time). And the bar holders are a nice touch too. The black paint scrapes off the plate holders due to friction from the iron plates sliding on them, but this is to be expected.
