The Marcy deluxe utility weight bench is absolutely fantastic with so many great features and made with amazing quality.
To spare you the details, it's an 8/10 for me, perfect for leg curls and extentions, fantastic for other bench uses, and well worth the money.
Still not sold on the idea? Here's why I'd recommend it
The steel frame is of high grade quality steel, for the affordable price of the bench it's the best metal I've seen used so far.
The versatility is great for benching, skullcrushers, whatever else you do on your bench, and best of all leg extensions.
The leg extension attachment can be adjusted to 2 height options as well as removed. You can use standard or Olympic plates. There are metal clips included to hold your plates on the bar. The foam pads are covered in the same good quality leather as the rest of the bench which immediately makes it a 6/10 for me on that alone, as I've been using an old Walmart bench with a leg extension attachment and the foam pads always rub the skin super rough and sometimes leaves rug burns, but that won't be an issue with this bench.
The whole reason I got this bench was for training legs and it's great for that. One issue I encounter is that the end pieces that keep the foam pads on (which isn't necessary since the pads are well fitted to stay on the bars) are a huge pain to remove, so be warmed, DON'T insert them all the way in!
The bench has wheels on the far end of the bench and a handle at the front for easy movement.
It's sturdy for the most part, the metal framing that holds the seat and back however rock back and forth unless you're on the bench, which isn't a danger to your life but could in some cases cause instability. (Which shouldn't be often, so long as much weight is applied, it won't rock)
With weights on the leg extension attachment the bench becomes slightly unstable and can rock from side to side, this isn't an issue if you put something heavy on the front of the bench where the wheels are or simply sit back down on the bench since its completely stable during use.
As a whole, it's great, it's high quality for it's price, it's stable and I'm confident it will last many good years. It's highly valuable for the fact that you can do leg exercises, doing leg extensions at home isn't easy you know, but with this it will feel relatively similar to a machine.
The shipping time for me was astonishing quick, I ordered this bench on a Sunday and it arrived on Saturday of the following week (6 day timeframe for the purchase to process, get everything packaged, sent, and delivered)
I am highly satisfied with this product and I hope my review helps more people make the same decision I have and will bring Marcy more business.
Perhaps in the future Marcy could make more high quality, budget friendly pieces of equipment like this, a cable machine would be a good one...
