I know it seem silly to pay this much for a stand but here 's why I think this be a must-have item if you own 552 or 1090 . - function - I have the 552 set of dumbbell and this stand support they easily ; I have no doubt that the 1090 would be fine as well . overall , it feel sturdy so even when I place the dumbbell back a little harder than I should , it do not budge . you can also switch between stationary foot for improve stability or caster for improve portability . moreover , it be easier to change weight setting on the stand then it be on the floor . - design - visually , they look great on the stand ; they should since they be make just for this purpose . as part of a home gym , it look like a professional set up . - injury prevention - rather than have to bend over to pick up the weight , they be at waist level with this stand . this should prevent lower back pain , or even worse , like cause a injury that will prevent you from work out . back injury can last a long time . - durability - the stand be make of quality material . it should last as long as the dumbbell , which I hope will be the last set I buy in my lifetime . - recommendation - if you own bowflex 552 or 1090 , buy this stand !
