Is the bar one piece or three?

It is a three-piece bar that screws together. That makes it easier to ship and store, but the joints can loosen with use.

Will standard Olympic plates fit the bar?

Yes. The bar takes 2-inch Olympic plates and is rated to 300 lb, so you can add plates beyond the 110 lb included.

Does the set include collars?

No. Collars are not part of the set, so you need to supply your own to hold plates in place.

Is 110 lb enough for squats and deadlifts?

For most adults it is light for leg work. It is better suited to pressing, rowing and arm work, with extra plates added later.

What plates come in the box?

Two 5 lb, two 10 lb and two 25 lb cast iron grip plates, plus the 7-foot bar.

Can I store it in a small space?

The bar breaks into three sections, which helps, but the plates are cast iron and take up floor space.

Our take on the CAP Barbell Olympic Weight Set, 110 lbs.

The CAP Barbell 110 lb Olympic weight set pairs a 7-foot Olympic-style bar with two each of 5, 10 and 25 lb cast iron grip plates. The bar comes in three pieces that screw together, and its 300 lb limit leaves room to add standard 2-inch plates later. It suits a first home barbell setup for upper body pressing and pulling, but the plate load is light for serious squats or deadlifts, and buyers of budget Olympic sets often report rough sleeves and loose collars.
