Review on RitFit Adjustable / Foldable Utility Weight Bench For Home Gym, Weightlifting And Strength Training - Bonus Workout Poster With 35 Total Body Exercises by Derrick Patterson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good bench for the price

For the price, this is a pretty good bench for a home gym. The build quality feels not too far off from benches and some gyms and the ability to fold it is a plus. The size is perfect for me at 5'8 where the seat isn't too low or high. The seat and the backrest each have multiple adjustments so it can be used completely upright (pretty much at 90 degrees which is too upright for me and which I would never use), for incline/flat/decline bench press, and even for situps (with the backrest fully declined and seat fully inclined). The only slight negatives are that the seat is a bit on the firm side, and I'm not sure how long the material lining the backrest and seat will last - not sure if it's made of leather, fake leather, or some sort of vinyl. I wouldn't be surprised if it starts tearing in a few years or so. Also, you definitely need to make sure that you fully tighten the adjustment knobs after making any adjustments as stated in the manual. I didn't tighten the adjustment knob for the backrest enough one time while doing incline dumbbell presses and the weight caused the backrest to fall all the way to the full decline position during one rep. Lesson learned - now I make sure to tighten the knobs fully and haven't had any problems since. Overall, I'm really happy with this bench for my little modest home gym.
