I purchased this product to save space and replace a broken hyper bench.

Unfortunately, the Best Fitness ab board/hyper bench was not a good purchase for me. At 6'2", the bench did not accommodate my height very well and the hyper bench did not provide enough range of movement. In short, it did neither of the jobs well enough to keep it around.

On the plus side, the quality and finish were very nice and this would probably be a very good investment for people under 5'9".

This bench does exactly what it advertises. Wish the bench was a little longer but is ok. Would recommend it to anyone needing a sit up bench.

I bought this item as a Christmas gift. The receipient enjoys it immensely as both a Roman Chair style machine and a sit-up bench. It is solidly constructed and has adjustable legs and height. The cushions allow the user to relax while using the machine to stretch the back muscles. My only complaint is that the assembly directions provided only showed exploded diagrams of the product, and no simple step by step directions. This made the gift incredibly frustrating until we finally figured out how to put it together.

First of all the instructions are useless, I can't stress that enough. I tried to follow the "manual" until I gave up and just used my common sense. As far as the product itself goes, it's definitely not a high end piece of equipment but it does the job well and I'm happy with my purchase.

It was comparably cheap, but as far as "sturdy construction" and "already assembled" I would diagree. The bolts don't tighen all the way so it is shifty and shaky all over. It came partially assembled and the exploded view instructions made me confused as to which bolts were already on and which parts were already assembled. I bought it to do sideways "love handle" exercises which I have previously done in a gym using a similar construction, but on this one it's awkward due to some steel rings on the base under the ankle pads and the position of the pads, and it's definitely no where near gym quality. The bench limits the lower back exercise, I would like to be able to hang from my hips to stretch. But, it still works. My sides and tummy are super sore. I would give it 3 of 6 stars.

Although a bit confusing in the assembly instruction it is very sturdy for the price. Overall it works for the space where I have to place it.

I purchased this one to do sit-ups and work on my sides (love handles).. It allows me to do what I want - once it's assembled and properly adjusted.. The installation was confusing; and there's no illusions on what exercises you can do with this bench.. I had to research online and found some exercise diagrams/illusions from other high-end hyper benches.. I was able to use those diagrams and adjust the bench accordingly for each exercise.. Once that's done, I'm on my way to burn my love handles.. Hee Haa!!!

Couldn't get it to assemble because one of the holes where you have to run a pole thru is too small for the pole to fit. Sent it right back.
