It's become a focal point of our daily fitness routine, and we couldn't be happier with our purchase. If you're looking to enhance your home gym setup, this foldable flat bench is a must-have.

My first impression is that this bench is solid and stout, especially when looking at all of the pieces during assembly. It's fairly heavy and I believe its claim to support 600 pounds (and probably more). Its pretty comfortable. However, once I assembled it I noticed a few significant flaws:1) There are 6 screws to attach the pad to the frame of the bench. but my unit only have 5 holes dilled out in the frame for those screws, so if I was going to use that 6th screw, I was going to have to drill that hole myself. Screw that. -1 star2) After my initial assembly, there was ALOT of play in the legs, both when folded and when extended and secured in place by the pins. That translated to a dangerous amount of wobble when laying on the bench. After closer inspection, it could have really benefitted from 2 extra washers to take up some of the slop in the bolts that attach the legs to the frame. Fortunately, I happen to have 2 extra fender washers laying around that I was able to use, and I was able to crank down and really tighten the bolts that secure the legs to the frame, without bending the brackets too much. This helped significantly, but there is still _some_ wobble when laying on the bench, but its not a dangerous amount anymore. That said, this bench isn't sturdy and stable enough to safely to do heavy bench presses of 300+ lbs. Even though I have no doubt that the bench is strong enough to support that amount of weight, when lifting that kind of weight, the bench needs to be rock solid or you could seriously injure or kill yourself. -1 starTo sum up, its a decent bench. Its pretty beefy, but not stable enough to take advantage of the amount of weight it can support.

The media could not be loaded. I went to go put it together. The only problem is the people who designed this must think winging it is best when it comes to measurements, because somehow none of the provided parts fit to put this thing together. AI could designer a better bench. Even if you somehow could manage to get the bolts in place (literally too big or not big enough), there is zero chance in hell it’s sturdy enough to trust with any weight on. 0 stars if I could tbh

It's hard to use the lock pin to lock the legs. The metal doesn't align properly
