Rank #2 in Best Plyo Box 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Spec Sheets That Argue With Themselves
Amazon Basics Plyometric Jump Box, 3 Heights
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Amazon Basics Plyometric Jump Box sits at number two in this guide at £36.99, with 4.6 out of 5 from 419 ratings. It is a wooden plyo box for home gym work — box jumps, step-ups, box squats — with three adjustable heights and height and direction indicators printed on the box, and the listing states a 450-pound weight capacity.
The interesting part is how many ways the listing counts the same box. The bullet points give the product dimensions as 16 x 14 x 12 inches (LxWxH), which makes the box 12 inches tall. The specification table's metric field agrees: 40.5L x 35.5W x 30.5H centimetres, again about 12 inches tall. Its 'Maximum Height' field then reads 16 inches, and the 'Size' field reorders the same three figures as 14"x12"x16". Three adjustable heights explains why 12, 14 and 16 inches all appear on the page — it does not tell you which face is up when the box arrives. The star breakdown is worth reading as a split rather than a count, too: its five bars total 100, next to a review count of 419. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon.co.uk listing, not from testing of our own.
