My original cables began to split and cause additional friction, the replacements were a perfect match and easy to install.
Really pleased! Good strong bench without excessive weight. Good size for my area and my body. I've made several purchases from Marcy and totally satisfied so
far.
When I first unboxed, I thought OMG this is going to be a pain to assemble – it went quite fast and was straightforward. Wow what an incredible well-made multifunctional bench with great padding. What a value, very happy.
I buy and use and sell a lot of home gym equipment - it's a hobby of mine. Years ago I bought the Steelbody adjustable bench and loved it. I wrote a review on a very popular shopping site that got thousands of views and thumbs up - it's the most popular review for the bench for years (still is). This bench addresses my concerns with that bench. This bench has a smaller pad gap. This bench has bigger and better wheels. This bench, the handle isn't offset (annoyed me since I love symmetry). Lastly, they upgraded the brown they use for the Steelbody bench (why brown?). Marcy did this all while keeping the cost down. Great job - I think this is the best home gym bench for most people who haven't bought into the notion they need a bench for home that weighs a ton, is super long and costs a small fortune. Kudos to Marcy on this one.If it matters, I am 6'1", weigh 225lb and use it in my Rogue SML-2 half rack for barbell lifting (primarily).
