pros- seems sturdy, the preacher curl attachment and handle work really nice, it was easy to put together.
cons- the back cushion is pretty narrow, the pec fly handles dont allow for a natural fly motion exercise...it really forces your hands close to your chest at the top of the motion. it just doesnt feel natural, and the pec fly handles were the main selling point for me with this bench. if i had to do it again, i would probably look at purchasing a different bench; the pec fly handle option is not worth buying this bench in my opinion.

This review is from: Marcy Diamond MD 389 Standard Bench with Butterfly (Sports)

Pros: Sturdy, easy assembly(more or less 1 hour), straight-forward instructions, well-priced, preacher curl/pec fly attachment.

Cons: No lat attachment(no big deal), too narrow for wide-grip bench press.

Bottom line: Good deal for price. Entry-level.


05/11/2011******UPDATE

Pec fly attachments wobble. Needs extra o-rings to increase stability and ease flow. Screws that hold pec fly attachments are completely bent after 1 month of use. (Weight used: 25 pounds each) Calling manufacturer to get bolts replaced.

the bar handles are too narrow, you cant get a wide grip on the bar to do the exercises, when you push up you have to narrow your grip to put the bar in the handles which is kinda dangerous, so that's no good. Obviously you can do close grip bench presses since that would eliminate you from changing from a wide grip to a narrow grip to release the bar. But you can use the bench itself to lay back on while using dumbbells. there's no real decline on this bench. The Butterfly attachments , I dont even use. The Curl attachment is something i liked...but the leg lift exercises hurt or feel uncomfortable so that was a big let down. You have to position yourself almost in a half situp position to do them,,which is kinda good for an overall workout but it's a bit of a struggle. I think if it was 30 less it would be worth to buy for the curl attachment and the bench itself, but every thing else is kindof a fail. Get a proper bench. If i would have done this again i would have gone to a store first to see the product. The padding is comfortable, but it actually looks larger than it really is. Im 5'6 and i feel uncomfortable in this bench...almost as if i was too big for this thing.
