This bench is way too small for someone 5′8″ and weighing 150 lbs. Too narrow and too short. I feel as though I will fall off of it at any moment during workout.

I was under the impression when I bought this that it would be fully assembled. Maybe I was wrong. I got it together and have had to make some adjustments since then. Okay and a decent price, but. . . .

if you want a bench thats declines this is not for you. when declined the seat part of the bench doesnt not stay parrallel with the floor it stays parrallel with the bench therefor the whole bench is declined. There is also no leg and knees pad supports so when you go to use the decline you slide off very dangerous if you are using heavy weights. I could not tell the seat does not pivot from the back pad in the picture so i didnt know until i gotta it. Now im stuck with it, i recommend not buying it or any other products from this company because obviously they do not engineer there products too well, unless im missing out on something, i dont know the frame bar is solid. also the decline postition is at such a small angle, nothing you would see in a real gym.

I’m 6′3″ and the bench is simply too small to be an effective workout tool, both length and width wise. Lengthwise, my head is not supported when it’s in the decline position, and more over, it does not provide a foothold where a person can lock in their feet to keep from falling off when in the decline position. The bench is also much narrower than I have ever experienced, and I’ve been weightlifting for around 20 years. I’m not that wide (only weigh 190), but I prefer better support on my back than just down my spine.
It IS well constructed and probably would be a better fit for someone shorter than 6 feet, provided they didn’t want to workout in the decline position. Again, the lack of a foothold to stabilize one’s body in the decline position would still be a deal breaker for me.
I’m in the process of returning the product. The good news is that found a used bench in pristine condition and which meets my requirements at Play It Again sports for $10 less. Still, a lot of frustration in repackaging the product, hauling it back to the nearest UPS drop off store, and paying $30 for shipping. Lesson learned here: tall folks like me should physically try out equipment in a brick and mortar store to make sure it fits their body before venturing out on the internet.

It came on time and was easy to put together. Works well for my space and gets the job done.
