 Excellent Value for the Price May 22, 2009

I hate going to the gym because my local gym always has people using up all the benches. I never get a good workout in, because I can only use the machines, which are the only things available. I like being able to workout at my own convenience, so I shopped around for a bench.
I was looking for a bench that could do flat/incline presses and not take up too much space.
This was the only one I found that folded up. For the price I saw on Amazon, I was a bit hesitant. Not only was it cheap, it was eligible for free prime shipping as well, so I was a bit skeptical because shipping alone for this probably cost $40. The reviews were better than the other benches so I went for it.
When I opened the box, it looked like the box just exploded in my room and all I saw was a thousand nuts/bolts, and some metal bars. I was scared to death because the instructions were only 4 pages long, and it was very intimidating at first glance. After about a half hour though, I could see the bench starting to come together, and it was fairly easy to put together. As another reviewer mentioned, there was a mistake with one of the steps, but its easy to catch.
It's exactly as I had wanted, and it folds up like a dream. The leg attachment is probably the bulkiest part when folded up, but it's not that big of an issue.
There is NO decline on this bench though. The lowest it will go is flat, then it goes three steps ascending slightly. Since this bench has been in my room, I've gone from inclining 95lbs to 125lbs in three weeks. It's amazing, because I was barely able to bench 100lbs, and now I can do 3 sets of 8 @ 125lbs. When I get to a point where I want to take a break or a commercial is on TV, I'll just do a few reps here and there. I feel like I'm starting to plateau a bit, but I'm still pushing myself to go even higher and hope to get up to 160 (all the weights I have).
I noticed another reviewer pointed out the back of the seat isn't that great for short people. I'm 145lbs @ 5'5" and I did notice it at first, but after a week of ownership, I don't even realize what the issue is anymore.
All in all I think this is a great bench, and is competitively priced. Why go through the trouble of getting one at a B&M store when you can get something shipped directly to your house, for free!
Great deal for the money December 20, 2007

I am satisfied with my purchase, as it is sturdy enough for a folding Olympic bench and it folds compactly enough to fit into my apartment bedroom. I'd also recommend this to anyone who has limited space and simply cannot afford to leave a weight-bench set-up in a dedicated workout area. My only minor qualm is the leg-developer, as I cannot put large weights on it as they slam against the ground. The spindle is too close to the ground and the spindle is also so narrow in diameter, and my Olympic weight's center ring much larger, so the weights shift when the developer is raised high during leg curls. Oh well, I will experiment with smaller weights and maybe closing the center weight ring gap somehow. Other than that, I really have no complaints for the price, especially since it shipped free with Amazon Prime.
