I’m impressed ! Highly recommended.

Short version: -Zero assembly required, you open the legs and lock the pin through the holes.- It is very steady and secure, at least for a small female who has been lifting at gyms and at home for many years. Longer review: I spent weeks researching what to purchase since I was moving far away and couldn’t bring my full-size bench press and weights. I am now in a small space for a few months, and I don’t want to sacrifice safety and form. I know I’m a small person at 5’4”, but this bench is surprisingly steady and firm. I’ve only used it a couple of times so far, but I did chest presses and flys, and, as well as tricep dips, and this thing didn’t even move! Setup was easy, another reason I bought it over another brand. You just open the legs, lock the pin , use the bench , then fold it again when done. That’s it. I keep mine under the bed. I’m truly surprised at how stable it feels so far. Not sure what will happen with someone over 200lbs. I am 130 lbs and tried to make it wobble when I got on it, to see where it became unsafe, without success. Yes, may be a bit short and narrow for bigger people, but I’d try to check it out at a store if possible. It’s a great travel bench to keep in small spaces or to bring in your car. It’s more stable and safe than bigger cheaper brands. Safety first! I will update if anything changes as I continue to use it. So far, highly recommended. I’ll go back to my happy place now: working out in the comfort of my small home while I listen to my favorite music or watch my favorite show 😉.

A little shaky sometimes honestly but it's definitely a great light weight small workout bench if you're cramped for space. Also, I've actually been able to use the incline on it and it's been okay for me but I'm 5 9. So I wanted to change my review after a year or two of use now. I'm realizing just how quite small and short the bench is. Getting into position for bench press, if you're tall, your back has to extend quite a bit before you reach the bench and with heavy Dumbbells I find my lower back cracks a bit every time. I've tried everything like kicking the Dumbbells off my quads, bringing my feet and legs back closer to the bench before putting my back on it and nothing seems to work. Still that cracking bone on vine grinding in the lower back so I'm chalking it up to being because it's a little too low to the ground. So I guess if you're 5'8 or less it might be good for you. Also, the bench is a bit narrow. As my back has gotten wider and stronger from hypertrophy, I find I feel much more unstable on the bench now and when doing dumbbell chest presses my shoulders it feels unstable and comfortable for my shoulders.
