Well build, strong and I'm loving it

The bench is made very well, and the assembly was easy. Using it twice a week along with physical therapy to improve my arthritic condition. Still going....Thanks

I am just getting started building a home gym the way I want it and have to buy cheaper equipment to both stay on budget and acquire as much equipment in a year as I can. This was my first year buying larger equipment so I had to cut costs on the bench. I am used to the very heavy, very sturdy benches at my normal gym so I am writing this review from that perspective.This bench seems to perform well for the functions I use it for. It supports my weight and the weight of the equipment I am using - arguably the most important part of the bench. I love that the bench can incline at various angles, lay flat, and even decline at a couple angles. This keeps me from having to buy several benches. I also like that it came with the leg extension attachment (which also works for standing leg curls. There are two position adjustments for the leg extension and since I am 6'2 I needed the higher adjustment to keep my feet from interfering with the leg extension. This mostly works so I am good with that. I also like that the bench came with the preacher curl attachment although you can only do single arm preacher curls because the width is about the size of my hand. Shouldn't be much of an issue though. The structure appears to be stable (more on this later) especially side to side. I may end up removing the padding that was meant to hold your legs for back extensions or sit-ups. First I don't plan on doing either of those and second because it really just gets in my way. The padding is soft but also firm so it is comfortable when performing exercises. The covering material is easy to clean and doesn't appear to hold onto any gross gym smells. Also, shipping was super quick and assembly was easy if you know what a bench is supposed to look like (there are instructions for amateurs).Now the reasons I took a star away. I mentioned the stability earlier. This bench, because it was meant to be folded and put away when not in use, uses detent pins in three places to keep the bench laid out when you are using it. The idea is the pins are easy to remove when you want to store it and you won't need tools. My gripe with this is that the pins create a weak point in the structure. Not that I am afraid it will fall apart, the parts of the bench when laid out fit snugly together, but when moving it around to different areas it tends to lazily flop around and then you have to put some weight on it to straighten it back out. Not a big deal but I wouldn't have bought a bench that folds if I knew this is how they were doing it. If you don't need a folding bench, buy something else. Next, the bench is very lightweight so it doesn't need wheels. I think the whole thing weighs 25 or 30 pounds. Handy if you are constantly folding it back up but not so handy when you are used to using about 250 pounds on leg extensions and the whole bench gets lifted in the air when you put the first 45 pound plate on. You have to be sitting on the bench when loading plates and removing plates from the leg extension. Something I definitely should have looked at before I bought this model. I am going to try to attach it to my low row cable machine and see if that works better.

My son loves this folding bench, and it saves so much space.

Very good service asked for a replacement on a part and was sent to me right away. The bench is great for starters and it holds up really well. Easy to set up does not take long. And easy to move around. Good workout investment

Do not purchase this item at any price. Bench states it can handle 880 lbs. I put 75 pounds on the leg extension bar and the bench fell forward. Bench is also very unstable and wobbly when using it to lift dumbells.

The resting arm area is to small. You can only do arm pull ups one at a time. Don’t recommend to buy if you want to lift weights with both arms.
