Leg developer & back support Leg.
PROS: Multiple features, Actually has 9 adjustable back rest positions that you can use if you use the last hole that the instruction manual tells you to block with a bold & nut (the circular hole all the way at the bottom, yes it's safe I've tried it just tighten the knob). Delivery came 4 days early for me. Adjustable seat is easy to adjust and effective. Wide backrest area, Easy to move around with the wheels (high quality wheels), No squeaking sounds from the bench.CONS: The leg extension / leg curl attatchment design does not allow for full range of motion, on leg curls you can only go about halfway. On leg extension you cant break parallel limiting the amount of squeeze in the quads. Also the back leg has now given out after a year leading me to buy another more heavy duty bench.

UNSAFE!! DO NOT BUY!!
Would give zero stars if possible as this thing is a death trap. We are returning ASAP which is a serious headache.The back support will not lock into place safely and consistently. My husband was lifting and it gave out on him twice. That was enough for us. He could have been seriously hurt or worse. We have looked and it it put together correctly it’s just junk unfortunately.If that isn’t enough for you the leg extender is useless. The second you put any weight on there the front end lifts up several inches off the floor. Not safe. Plus the “extender” only lifts 90 degrees. I saw another reviewer say that it didn’t work for him because he was too tall. Height doesn’t matter if the extender doesn’t actually extend beyond 90 degrees it’s useless for an actual leg workout.Bottom line is do not waste your time and money as you will not want to keep this bench. Go for a name brand. I’ve learned my lesson.

A solid versitile weight bench - great value for the money!
I rarely write a product review. However, there were so many varied reviews on this product, I had to try it out for myself and add my two cents. As a reference, I am 6'2" and weigh 265 lbs. I was looking for a bench that had a decent decline, decent width, good padding, a curl pad, leg extension, and supported a substantial amount of weight. This bench met all of my criteria. First, it arrived very quickly - within days of ordering it. Secondly, it was packaged very well, and all of the parts were there, undamaged. I have taken pictures of the instructions, the parts, and the finished product. Yes, the explanation of assembly could have been better, but I had no trouble using the pictures and matching the corresponding parts, which were marked well. This bench is sturdy, and I believe will support the amount of weight advertised. It declines well to many positions, and comes with an adapter for olympic sized weights, and a spring clamp - both of which I consider a bonus. Two cons; One problem, as mentioned by other reviewers is that the leg extension does not completely rise to horizontal - it comes close. I saw that someone cut off a couple of inches from the area that is blocking it from fully engaging - I am not that handy and would caution amateurs about trying to cut the thick metal. The manufacturer should take note, because reducing the size of this (cavity holding the preacher curl) would not interfere with any functionality, but would make the leg extension work perfectly. Also, there is a significant gap between the seat and backrest. This disappears when the seat is adjusted to an upright position. I don't think it is as big of a deal as some make It out to be, because the arch of your back doesn't engage the bench, and if necessary you could use some foam or a towel in the gap to compensate. There are many more pluses than minuses, so I am not willing to take a star away for these small issues. All in all, those looking for a solid and versatile weight bench will be happy with this purchase.

A must have bench!!! A+
This is my second bench. One for me, one for my son. The preacher pad is awesome. The leg extensions are perfect. The bench is so sturdy and rated for 1k lbs!! You can decline...incline...you can do it all. This bench is a must have for a home gym. It takes about 30 mins to put together. Comes with the tools you need for construction. One man job. A++++ bench!!

Sturdy Bench
This is a really great bench for the price. It holds a good amount of weight and seems very sturdy. Most benches in this price range only hold up to 500 lbs or so, which makes this a great buy. I don't know why, but the bench cover highlights looked more red to me in the pictures, but it's actually more orange in color, but I still really like it. The only complaint I have about the bench (which I've seen others mention as well) is that the bar for the preacher curl (even with the pad taken off) blocks the leg extension/curl bar from moving all the way up. This stops you from being able to complete full range of motion on leg exercises which is one of the main reasons for buying a bench like this. It's a little disappointing seeing as I've seen and used other benches where this issue isn't present at all. I also don't feel like them cutting that bar a little shorter would compromise the integrity of the bench and how much it could hold, but I guess I don't know for sure. I'm personally thinking of seeing if a friend has a metal cutter and modifying it as I've seen others do in their reviews. Besides that, the bench is perfect for what I wanted it for.If it helps your decision making at all (for height of the bench) I'm a 6'2" male and it is a great size for me.
