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).
Was easy to put together. One of the prices did come bent I assume that was during shipping though and I was able to bend it back but it was close to no being able to fit where needed.
I didn’t let the pour shipping vendor affect my rating due to the actual bench being great!
I’m new to working out and decided on this setup and I’m glad I did because I absolutely love it for my first workout equipment. It’s very sturdy all around
