Not bad for the price & personal use

If you're looking for an average, "light weight," and smaller piece of equipment to tone, this is fine for the price. This will do the job for a smaller, senior citizen male, an average fit female, for youth or for someone recovering/rehabbing from illness/injury. Obviously, it's not commercial grade, so if you're a fit, young to mid-age adult, high school/college athlete, or larger framed person, this isn't for you. I'm a retired, older, 5'5" female who just wants to stay a little fit & randomly work out when I feel like it; it's sturdy enough for me or for a grade-school &/or pre-puberty male or youth female. If you're used to the full size bench press, you'll have to adjust your expectations quite a bit: The upright posts are narrower, so you'll have to adjust your grip width. The little bands that attach to it? Grandkids under 10 yrs old have fun with those, but not much value beyond that. It mentions dropping the seat for "incline" sit ups.that requires pulling out/pushing in a pin below the seat and a strap for your feet. You'll have to figure out your own strap to hold the bench to the uprights &/or cross bar in order to do that; until you do that & lower the seat with pin in & out, I don't think it's worth it. I'd say just continue your own ab workout & forget the bench. As for the full-body, tricep dip part? Haven't tried it, but I'd rather do dips on something more sturdy.like between your kitchen counter tops :)Overall, for $100-150, it's a good, adjustable bench for personal use that doesn't take a lot of space. If it lasts a year or more, it's probably worth it. "You get what you paid for," so keep in mind your budget, your expectations and what you really need. For me & my use, I'm pleased with the purchase.

Pros
  • Provides an increased sense of overall wellbeing
Cons
  • The weight bench may not be suitable for those with a history of wrist injuries
