High value- sturdy enough and no nonsense.
As far as how I use it- it is nearly flawless.
I just wanted a bench that could adjust for angled pressing and I wanted a Roman chair/Nordic bench. But I also need it to collapse and have a small footprint for my garage.
It is stable and sturdy enough for both of those functions, although the reverse hyper extension isn’t the most comfortable on your knees. I’m 6’1 and weigh 150 and the knee pad digs into my shins a little too much.
I would say if you have a gym membership and just need something to supplement exercises on your busy days or when the gym is closed- this is great. Also: great for someone doing mostly light to medium upper body.
I haven’t tested the weight max (I only have 100 lb in weights) and I only really use it for bench press, laying rows, occasionally I use the head rest for preachers, and I use it for hyper extensions.
Very glad to have found a bench that checks all of my boxes.
As far as downsides go- I’d say it feels a bit wobbly when you’re doing bigger movements, say in a Roman chair, but nothing too concerning. Also: i think the fabric cushioning is decent in build quality but I am predicting it to rip with light to normal usage within 12 months. I will update in 12 months.
All in all- a great value and I can confidently recommend It after using it for a few weeks
