1. Optimal Branding Solutions

There aren't many choices designed specifically for this purpose, which is why the Optimal Branding Solutions (appx. $119) stands out. Assembly requires no tools and only takes a few minutes, so you won't need to hire a professional to put it together.

Available in three different sizes
Made from furniture-grade pine
Manufactured in the usa

2. Body-Solid Kettlebell

Though most often used for holding different types of weights, the Body-Solid Kettlebell (appx. $187) can be configured with the two trays facing upward so it can function as a display case. If you don't need both shelves, you can put your wrist guards and other equipment down below.

Heavy steel construction
Lifetime manufacturer's warranty
Paint provided for touch-ups

3. Kaze Sports Wood

The Kaze Sports Wood (appx. $9) looks good enough to put on display, but can also be used as a base when cleaning and polishing. That way, you don't have to worry about any heavy round objects slipping from your fingers and doing damage to the floor.

Solid rubberwood
Five-inch diameter
Won't leave scuff or scratch marks

4. Sierra Novelty Stand

You may be in a bachelor pad without a lot of space, and just want to show off a single reminder of the glory days. For that, the Sierra Novelty Stand (appx. $9) will do the trick. It's inexpensive, and can easily prevent your prized possession from rolling off the dresser.

Two-pack means you'll have a spare
Made of durable plastic
Difficult to rotate

5. Cap Barbell

This option from Cap Barbell (appx. $52) may not be the most visually inventive, but it won't collapse under the weight, so if this is more about storage than looks, you can trust that it will get the job done. However, you may have to bend down to reach the bottom shelf.

Capacity of 500 pounds
Easy to assemble
Measurements sized for kettlebells

6. Hammer Cup

In addition to the standard black version, the Hammer Cup (around $7) is also offered in orange. Though that may not be the color scheme of your home, it'll make it easy to spot if you're taking it with you to a league night and forgot where you put it.

Weighs less than two ounces
Foam ring comes off easily
Glue can leak out

7. Champion Sports Storage

The Champion Sports Storage (appx. $73) can be mounted to the wall, saving you space and putting your collection within arm's reach. Because it's technically designed for medicine balls, scuffing could be an issue, so you may want to add some sort of padding.

Frame is powder-coated steel
Screws and anchors included
Can't adjust width
