Sturdy enough, but... January 30, 2008 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
The bench seems sturdy enough, but at 5'5" I am too tall to rest my feet on the bench while keeping my head also on the bench. For protection of my lumbar region, some of my exercises need to be done with my knees bent and feet (and head) securely on the bench. I'm too short to have to deal with a too-short weight bench! Also, I have neoprene weights ranging from 1-20 lbs.-two each size, none of which fit the weight holder underneath the bench. The holding rods are too far apart - my weights just slip through. You get what you pay for, but these are two fatal flaws, at least for my workouts. It's too much trouble to dismantle and return, so I'll deal with it, but I won't recommend it.
Solid and priced right October 27, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was looking for an inexpensive bench for dumbbell training. Nevermind that the price of this bench is a great value, it is one solid bench that is just right for dumbbell workouts. It is easy to put together and even has rails to store dumbells underneath, although I have no use for it in that I want to move the bench around. But the rails add to the strength. The bench is well-padded. Since the bench height can't be adjusted I would check to make sure the height is just right for your workouts. I like this bench alot.
A good buy! Sturdy and comfortable. May 14, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was looking for an inexpensive and fairly attractive flat bench for my home office. I wanted something sturdy and with the dumbbell rack to save at least a little space. I was very happy with this piece of equipment. I did not want to spend a ton of money and sometimes these benches can go for $150!! Even at my local Sports Authority. The price on this bench was very reasonable in comparison and it was easy to put together. It's very sturdy and I am getting a lot of use out of it. If you need a flat bench, I would say go with this model.

I bought mine at a local sporting goods store. I paid $99 on sale. Should have checked amazon. Great bench, if you take care of it, it'll last a good long time.
