Good set, but yes you get what you paid for.
I bought the 105 lb set, took about 3 weeks to get them. Both came at the same time. They aren't the best quality but for the price I think it's good. The plates have a light paint smell to them but it's not going to stink up your room. One thing I really don't like is that when you handle the plates a lot of paint chips go everywhere, so it's probably better for you to use them in your garage or somewhere without carpet because they go everywhere. I just got them so not sure if after a while the chips stop falling off. Don't know why the even bother to paint them. But overall it is a decent purchase.
btw one thing to be careful of is that the dumbbell handles are part of the total weight. The plates themselves add up to 47.5 lbs each dumbbell. Once you add the handles that's when they are 52 lbs
