    Feels like the Tesla of workout benches. Perfectly engineered. Tough enough to handle us bigger people and yet as comfortable as a luxury ride. Some assembly is required but it’s very easy to put together and start working out (only two sizes of hex wrenches are required and they are included).

    This bench works great and is high quality. Assembly was easy. After a few weeks of use I recommend. Yes the gap is significant between the seat and back but it does not really impact me. I am 6’2 and not really an issue. I use bow flex 1090 dumbbells and between my weight and nearly 200 pounds of weights it is solid.

    Bench was super easy to put together. Took about a half hour or so to get it assembled. It's got some weight to it so it feels nice and sturdy. The adjustability lets you do all of your bench exercises, flat, incline and decline. Highly recommend.

    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.

    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.

    good versatile bench

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    The bench is great but the storage of it does take up a bit of space even when it is folded since the bottom legs don't fold in.
