2.0 out of 5 stars Am I Really The Only One, January 9, 2011

Seems like a bad design to me. I am mechanically adept and have worked in manufacturing and design for many years. I have assembled it properly and as far as I can see there is no way to adjust it to fix the problems I have with it (#1 & #2).

1) It can NOT be adjusted to be a perfectly flat surface. There is always some angle between the backrest and the seat. If the adjustment holes were in a slightly (1/2"?) different location, it could be made perfectly flat. There isn't enough play in the assembly to make that so. This could have been a manufacturing defect with the one I received.

2) There is always a slight wobble to bench/backrest (rocks side to side). This should be obvious that this would happen with the design of a single foot-long post attached to backrest. Even if you tighten everything down completely, there will be some wobble, and then you couldn't adjust the thing. Otherwise it is a very well built and sturdy unit.

3) The backrest angle adjustment screw must be COMPLETELY removed to adjust the angle.

4) The seat is attached to the leg bars, which means you can't get the leg bars out of the way or adjust them above the seat for on-belly exercises. Adjusting the leg bars is actually adjusting the seat angle.

Overall, from the pictures it looked like a very versatile unit, but in reality it is very limited in it's use. I wish I would have studied the pictures longer or just spent more money on something else. I really wish I would have taken the time to disassemble it and return it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the Price, January 12, 2010

Pros:
It's very versatile for workouts
Sturdy
Well balanced
Price!
Relatively small

Cons:
Is pretty stiff when trying to adjust
When you are putting on the backrest make sure you dont tighten the screws too hard, the metal threading inside isnt too strong and now I only got 3/4 screws holding it in.

Overall:
Well worth the price and great for at home.

Easy to assemble. I was concerned that it might not be long enough for us. I'm 5'8" and my husband is 6'. The length allows us to rest the head with room left over. The seat is just wide enough for good support. We don't do serious weight lifting--just wanted a bench for ab and hand weight exercises. Good bench for our purposes. The slider bar is chrome but the bottom supports are not, so it's not as slick looking as it would have been with all chrome, but the price is right.
