Exactly what you're looking for.
Risky buy since there were zero reviews on this, but now I have the honor of being the first to say it's exactly what it says on the tin, and that's a very good thing.The item itself is a set of 12 weights (8 2.5-kg weights and 4 1.25-kg weights, totally 25 kg/55.1 lb), 3 bars (2 standalone handles that can be used as dumbbells and one connector piece to convert to a barbell), and 4 plastic screw nuts. It arrived in a cardboard box reinforced with plastic bands, and the inside was secured with molded styrofoam packaging that perfectly encapsulated each piece. The all the pieces are made of/covered in a textured hard plastic that feels good in the hand. Everything fits together as you would expect and works flawlessly.Quality-wise, these aren't solid metal, or anything, but the materials seem durable enough to stand up to regular use. The holes through the weights are a perfect match to fit around the handles with less than a MM clear space, but not so snugly that you have to use force to push them on or take them off. The screw nuts leave a bit to be desired as some of them fit perfectly, but some are a bit more snug and require some additional force to tighten or loosen, but based on the material (hard plastic), I would expect that in time these will expand and not be as tight.There's are raised indents on the handle piece to assist with gripping them in the hand, and the texture on the weights is just enough to prevent them from being too slippery to move around (especially when sweaty). The middle connector piece is wrapped in soft foam and the inside is threaded about 2 inches on each end to match the threads on each handle piece, after which it becomes flush to prevent over-screwing. The connector piece leaves something to be desired as the foam is not adhered, so it will slide and compress back and forth, and there's a very small but sharp piece of plastic jutting off from the plastic capping on the end, likely leftover from injection molding. This piece was easily sanded down by hand.Ergonomically, these are totally adequate. Bear in mind that these are hard plastic, so they don't exactly feel like full-grain leather, but the size of the handles fit my (fairly large) hands very well, shape is perfectly round with the exception of the indents. There's easily enough space between where the weights rest on each side to allow a decent amount of wrist flexion.A word of warning, each segment that holds weights is only long enough to hold 3 and still be able to screw on the nuts, so if you're using this in dumbbell form, you're going to be capped at 13 lbs, but with everything connected together in barbell form, you can easily get all the weights on.All in all, I'm glad I took a chance on these, as the live up to my expectations in every way. The only major downsides are the little sharp piece that was easy to file down and that this set caps out at only 55 lbs. Hopefully in the future this manufacturer will start selling larger weights, ideally as a stand-alone "upgrade" kit. That'd be an instant buy from me.

I would recommend but just note....
So product came and when i opened it i thought i was missing pieces but i wasnt. It was the way it was packed. Stir-phone was broken. Weights are in kg but the description on this site converts it and my weights were dirty. Some had brown caked up dirt or sand. I had to wipe it down. It also had caked up clear plastic. Maybe that was the way it was made or mine was used. I wiped it down with disinfectant clothes ( i have a lot of them due to pandemic). However does it (product) get the job done, yes. Was product new and clean, no. But the assemble makes the product good. So I recommend, just be aware of other issues.

Very good to use
I was expecting it to feel like cheap plastic like some have said but after receiving it and setting it up to bench press I can say that it feels very sturdy. I bought the 66 lbs one and I am quite surprised I can bench press that. Just wished they sold separately more heavier weights so I could upgrade. 66 lbs just don’t cut it anymore. So I had to buy separate ones from another vendor. Do recommend.

Good product for price
I was trying to find some dumbbells that were at least 25lb or more that were relatively cheap, so I purchased this item. For the value, I highly recommend it.

Decent set of Dumbbells
These are a great set of dumbbells for at home workouts. Honestly worth buying for the price itself.

Like These, but Beware of Condition on Arrival
These do the job and I'm quite pleased with them so far. Can't comment on the connector as I haven't and don't plan to use it. Although I purchased a NEW product, I believe that they sold me a used product. The packaging was literally destroyed inside of the box; even worse, every single piece of this equipment was covered in some kind of grease or oil. I had to clean everything with a degreaser/spray cleaner to get the oil off (which only partially did the job), then had to wash it all with dish soap which finally cleaned it up to where the pieces wouldn't slip out of my hands. I really like the octagonal shape of the plates, as they won't roll away when you set them down on a flat surface. This product is really good and I'd recommend it, however you should be prepared to clean it all up before you can use it.
