   ** Please read **My order shipped on Monday – it arrived the next day!I LOVE that it folds! It takes so little space. Very happy about this.Instructions and drawings were very clear and easy to follow. Assembly was very easy. Took me ~90mins to do it by myself. If I had to assembly it again it’d only take me ~20mins.All pieces looked brand new. Nothing was missing or damaged. Box was in great shape.Gap between back pad and sit pad I measured it to be exactly 10cm (when flat): many have complained about this “gap” but your lower back is supposed to be suspended in midair and arched so the padding there is not needed at all, so the complain is ridiculuous. I was able to do flat bench presses normally and without a single problem by arching my back like I was supposed to. The gap is closed by 2cm when used with any of the three inclinations.Leg developer: It was a great extra! I tried it and it works well. Worked out my quatriceps and hamstrings. My sister certainly is happy about this extra.The bag with all the screws comes with two tools to tighten up the bolt screws. Tighten the bolts extremely well to prevent any serious injury and even death! The manual comes with a drawn ruler on every page that is important in order to make it easy to identify the bolt screws.As others have pointed out, some of the steps in the instructions have already been done for you, but those steps are the “super easy ones.”It feels extremely sturdy and I feel completely safe with it.If you’re going to bench alone (no spotter) – well use caution. Undertand your limits. On my first try, there was one lift I could not push all the way up… and when I was struggling to do something about the weight, I almost injured my left shoulder, right on the first day! So please know your limits and be very careful if you don’t have a spotter. I’m thinking of purchasing a “power rack” in the future.Doesn’t have declined. It has flat and three levels of incline (don’t know the degree angles).TheCap Barbell Weight Bar Standard 72-Inch Threaded Barthat I ordered separately fit perfectly.This bench allows for any kind of grip, so the width is perfectly appropriate, as opposed to theMarcy Classic Standard Bench with Arm Curlwhich although was cheaper I didn’t purchase because most were complaining about the “grip width” of the machine being inappropriate.The barbell bar must be unmounted before folding and locking it (comes with safety pin to lock it).This bench also worked perfectly when I did my dumbbell flyes with it. Both flat and inclined worked.I’ll work hard with bench presses + dumbbell flyes to build a big and strong chest!Verdict: VERY happy customer. I love this bench press. I have zero complaints.

   I have had this weight bench in use for a couple months. Assembly was easy, working by myself, took a couple hours, using a couple sockets and a crescent wrench. Assembly instructions were clear enough. All the fasteners were there and marked, keyed to the instructions. I use the bench every day now, so here are my pros and cons:Pros:1) Materials and finish are high quality and heavy duty2) The assembled bench feels solid and stable enough3) Padding on the bench is comfortable enough4) Adequate set of bar stops so you can change the bench incline to a few different positionsCons:1) I shopped around for a bench that I thought would be big enough for me. This one is ok, but it falls short in a couple ways: the spacing of the pillars is wide enough to allow a decent grip for bench press, but just barely. Another 3-4″ wider would be a much better fit for me (I am 6′-1″);2) Another shortcoming is the leg extension part. Doing front extensions (quad work) works ok. Doing leg curls (hamstring work) does not. The lengths of both parts (upper and lower) of the leg attachment part are too short. I can get just a short range of motion doing leg curls, not useful. I’m not sure what I can do to fix that, maybe nothing.Overall, I’m happy with it and I’m glad to have it. I hate going to the gym, but with a weight setup right outside the back door, I hit it multiple times a day.Edit: If I put a 6-inch wood block under the front support of the bench, I can get a full range of motion with the front leg extensions. Leg curls still not happening.

   Some comments:1. Structurally very solid. Bolts fit well, sized well. All is designed well.2. The leg workout mechanism is worthwhile. Two bushings provided at the pin to keep the mechanism “tight” so it doesn’t flop around. Not too much adjustment for different leg lengths, but it should work for most.3. Folding for storage is easy and well thought out.4. Nice chrome touches; arms and cylinders5. It would have been nice to sleeve the pin holes in the arms to guide the pins to reduce the time spent trying to make the pins (adjusting the arms at different heights). I would have paid the extra $10-$15 for this. Not a big deal but…6. Assembly instructions: Would be much better to show the figure on the same page as the associated written procedure. As it is, you need to flip back and forth between the figure and procedure. Again, not a big deal, but pretty stupid to save one page of paper. On the bright side, the figures are great, and the to scale bolt diagram on every other sheet is very nice.All in all a great value.
