I just purchased this one and I am happy with it. I doesn't take much room in the small closet where I store most of my exercise stuff and this one holds all my dumbbells. The price was only $34.77 (and free shipping) from Amazon. Marcy DBR 56 Dumbbell Rack "http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00245PTPU"
Plz take out the quotes, I am having troubles getting this system to accept the web address, so I trying to get around the problem with the quotes.

I"ve had one similar to this Amazon.com: Cap Barbell A Type Dumbbell Rack: Sports & Outdoors for years, and I love it. It's sturdy (no wobbles at all), doesn't take up too much space, and is easy to get the weights off of.
I have a Reebok rack very similar in design to the Marcy one. It doesn't wobble (mine sits on a carpet remnant over carpet) and has lasted for years. My only complaint is that I have to be careful replacing dumbbells on the center horizontal racks--pinched fingers = ouch!
I would prefer a model like Kathryn suggested, but I found my rack on clearance at Target for $20--plus it holds more dumbbells. It has worked great for about 8 years. I store 3, 5, 8, & 10 lb dumbbells down the sides; 12 & 25 lb db's on the bottom horizontal; and 15 & 20 lb db's on the top horizontal. That is a lot of weight, especially on the horizontal racks, and I've had no problems.

I have the Marcy one. Mine sits on laminate flooring with no wobbling. I have pairs of 12, 15, 20, and 25 down the sides and pairs of 3, 5, 8, and 10 in the middle along with two medicine balls (5 and 8 pounds). I have no complaints about mine.

I just ordered this one today as a matter of fact:
CAP Barbell Black 'A' Frame Dumbbell Rack | Overstock.com
I like the A Frame because it looks like it will take up a lot less space. And it's only $35.65 including shipping from buy.com. That is the lowest I could find.
