Marcy Olympic Weight Bench MD-857

I had a previous model about 15 years old. I wish I would’ve kept it. This current model doesn’t allow to remove leg extension like the previous model. Doesn’t feel as well built as the old one. I have no choice but to use the current model I recently purchased because it will be difficult to repackage and send out for refund. Wry disappointed

Bought this bench about 1 year ago, but the seat is quite wobbly. It makes it difficult to enjoy. I am searching the web for ways to improve the stability of the seat/bench.

Well constructed bench, great attention to detail on the design as well as manufacturing. Packaging protected the product very well. Simple instructions with all hardware easily laid out for the user to see in the assembly instructions.

For the price its a good and sturdy unit. However, after using for a few weeks I think it would be more useful to have a separate weight bench and squat rack. Unfortunately that model was not available at time of my purchase.

I have been using commercial exercise equipment for years and so its not fair to rate this compared to them. So far I have liked this for home use. I would have to say though I am 5 feet 11 inches tall and if you are much taller than that this bench may not fit you well? I have also been a welder fabricator and machinist for years so as far as the construction of this bench it is pretty good but could be better with some changes. The only thing at this point one thing I have noticed is the welds are not the best. Other than that I am pretty much happy with my purchase.

Wow! What a well made, strong, and beautiful piece of equipment. As we all experienced at the first of the pandemic, vultures swooped in and bought all of the weight benches and were selling them like they were scalping concert tickets. With a bit of bad luck with other sellers (shipping cheaper and far inferior items than purchased and then offering a pittance to keep them) I finally went to the Marcy site to see if there had been any change in availability, I found my dream bench! I had absolutely no problems in assembling it, and it is Sturdy as a Rock! I also appreciate that they limit purchase of one per customer. That filled my heart. If you are considering this machine...DO IT!

Arrived on-time, was not difficult to build. Appears to be built well.

I will start by saying that it was a great surprise to have the item delivered sooner than expected. Assembling it took a little less than 2 hours. It is definitely possible to assemble it yourself but a second set of hands can make it faster and easier. The instructions made it very easy to assemble as well. I have had it now for a little over a month and this definitely exceeded my expectations given the great low price. There was one small defective part (bar catcher) but it was so easy to get the replacement part shipped to me free of charge. Marcy provided the best customer service experience for me. The pride themselves in making sure that every customer is 100% satisfied with their product. And if that wasnt enough, Marcy offers a free 2 year warranty on this product. That is so amazing! I have already recommended this MD-857 setup to friends and family. And I will continue to do so. Thanks Marcy for the great experience! Merry Christmas!

GREAT BENCH !! High quality recommended

So far like this product very sturdy and fits my needs. Using it every week 3x. Time will tell!

Set up took about 2 hours for 2 adults, really not that bad at all. Once everything is tightened down, my wife and I find the bench very stable and at no point do I feel like it's going you fall apart mid set. Overall we're very pleased, fits and works great for a home gym.

I like the notifications by email when the equipment came in and I was able to order and delivery was prompt. The equipment is what I was looking for to workout at home! I’m a happy customer.
