This was a Christmas gift for my husband and he loved it.
I ordered it on the 21st and it arrived at my door step on 23rd just as scheduled. Solid, durable, foldable and easyon the eyes.

Great bench. Instructions were clear and i did not have a hard time doing it. The space between the seat and the backrest is just too wide but that’s fine.

Great bench for a small apartment. Very sturdy. I can see how the gap between the seat and the backrest can get annoying but it doesn’t bother me very much. I really like the different angles in which I can position the bench.

This is a good versatile bench that holds up to 600 total pounds of weight. It has three positions; flat, decline, and incline. It is durable and does not move from side to side.
My only major complaint is that it is hard to switch the bench positions because the pin has to be screwed into place. I often have to use my phone’s flashlight to find the pin placement.

It is a heavy duty bench for home workouts.
It is bothersome sometimes that there is a huge gap in between the back rest and the seat when declined or flat. But the build quality is good.

I had limited space for weight training and bought a Bowflex Select tec 552 with a media stand. The bench was a perfect complementary piece of equipment. Assembly was pretty straightforward using the YouTube assembly video from bowflex. I started using the select tec app and it was easy to adjust the bench for a wide range of exercises.
