very well built bench. a little lower than i am used to. folds easy for storage. should last a long time.
Not that it matters, but I used to be a personal trainer and I think the build quality of this thing is great, it’s compact, it’s solid, attractive etc. Anyone complaining about this thing is just looking to be a pebble under someone’s shoe. The price on Amazon was much better than my local price of $140 (i.e., LIST price). Great buy, solid piece… you won’t regret it.
I read the reviews prior to buying and they were very helpful. However, I was concerned that at least one reviewer mentioned that the bench wobbles forward and backward because the pins that lock the legs in place are smaller than the holes they fit into. And guess what, that is the case, but not to worry. You can get most of the wobble out by tightening the bolts that hold the legs to the frame; all you need is an allen wrench and a socket set and you’re good to go. So, I am extremely happy with this product and would definitely recommend it to other people. It is compact yet sturdy and folds easily for storage. Overall, a great buy!
Pros:
Sturdy construction gives confidence
Easy and quick to fold
Cons:
It is lower than those that you can find in the gym
It is not adjustable to do exercises such as incline presses – not really a con but I suggest to get an adjustable bench to increase the number of exercises you can do
Overall, the bench is pretty much what I expected. I wanted a fold-away, and the size and weight are about right. The bench itself is narrow, but I have no problem with that. The only complaint is that the two holes that the bolts slide into (to lock the legs) are larger than the bolts. So, you actually get a forward/backward wobble. It’s not that big of a deal, but it could have been made a little better.
