Fabulous little weight bench!, January 11, 2006
This review is from: Danskin Space Saver Bench (Sports)
I wanted to work out using the "Body for Life for Women" weight lifting program for upper body. However, most of the exercises require a weight bench so not having alot of space and already having a family room that hosts a balance ball, exercise bike, stepper and DDR pads I put the idea out of my mind.
But when the New Year rang in and my body was starting to look less than firm I knew I had to do something to get my fanny in gear. I took another look at the benches on the market and was surprised to see how small the Danskin Space Saver Bench was. The reviews on it were great, the price reasonable and when I noted that Amazon was offering free super saver shipping I took the plunge and ordered.
The bench arrived in a large box. After unpacking it, I found that it was pretty easy to handle at only 30 pounds. Unfortunately my bench arrived with a broken foot pad, but a call to a friendly Debbie at customer service resulted in a new one that was easily popped on.
The bench is about 11 inches wide and 41 inches long, and I wasn't sure if it would hold alot of weight but another friendly rep, Donna told me it held a 250 person who was bench pressing 200 pounds! Thats a lot of weight! And despite its small size it's very comfortable.
The bench is attractive, durable and feels secure. It changes positions easily so if you are trying to get in your sets with a variety of exercises you can quickly change it from a flat bench to a tilted or upright one. The padded cushions are comfortable. If I was making it, I would probably make it black for a more modern look but the dark tan color is fine.
Overall I am really pleased with this purchase and look for a toned body with a little help from my sleek new bench!

Easy to use and great for a small, April 27, 2005
This review is from: Danskin Space Saver Bench (Sports)
I always wanted to have my own workout in my apartment. Since space if very limited in apartments, this has worked out great! It has 4 different positions so that you can workout as if you are acutally in gym all while watching your favorite tv shows or with a friend on speaker phone. Combine it with the 5-in 1 weight set and it will make the perfect minigym for any small space. I gave it 4 instead of 5 starts because my bed sits really low and I had some trouble finding a place to store it in. Closet works fine!

Great product. Perfect for my workouts. No assembly. Folds open and close, so you can store in closet or under bed when not in use. Very sturdy.
Impressed with the quick delivery.
