MARCYMulti-Position Adjustable Utility Bench for Home Gym Weightlifting and Strength Training

The booklet may have swapped the numbers for the washers, but it’s easy enough to figure out what bolts go where.Super, super affordable. And it’s quite sturdy too.I look forward to using this more.

Ease of build great functionality from heavy materials from a company , MARCY , that I already respect from past acquisitions . Down side : I keep it with my barbells on my deck and it would get wet and receive hot sun light on the vinyl seat cover. So it must be covered when not in use to protect it. Otherwise it won’t last very long.

If you are considering this bench, it is most likely because of the folding feature. If it is, then this is a good bench for you. It would be nice if it folded flatter than it does, but it is good enough to make it easy to fold up and put it up right to stow against a wall or in a closet. With the folding feature, you will compromise some things with this bench. For one, price. You could get a non-folding bench for cheaper, but again, the reason you are looking at this is probably because it folds. The second thing is sturdiness. I use mainly with dumbbells and not really heavy at that and the bench works perfectly fine. It is stable and doesn't move or slide on my hardwood floors. It is also a good balance between construct and portability. Making it with thicker metal would mean more weight which would add to the difficulty to store and move around. If you do lift heavy weights, then you probably want a more heavy duty bench and should be looking at a folding bench at that.Assembly was easy and pretty darn clear. All the nuts, screws and bolts are vacuum sealed on to a cardboard and labeled so you know exactly which parts are need for each step in the instructions. One suggestion, assemble everything, but don't make everything real tight. Sit and lay on it to get things to work into position, then tighten everything down. This will prevent the feet from being uneven and unstable. Another recommendation is DON'T over tighten - especially when anchoring the seating to the frame or you will strip the board material and now you've just ruined the stability of the bench. You're probably thinking, "yeah, that's common sense." but hey just saying. . .Anyway, I am perfectly happy with this bench for my use and i don't have to have a room in my house look like its always a gym. I recommend this to those that feel that same about their equipment.

Look, this Marcy bench won't blow you away with all of the different 'high-end' features of workout benches. It doesn't have an immense weight capacity of 5x your weight. It doesn't have insane portability or packability. But, you are paying a FRACTION of the price of benches that have those features. This bench does just what I need it to, and nothing more, and I'm totally fine with that. Here is what it does, and it does them well:1) It is sturdy - It doesn't wobble unless assembled wrong or jumping around on it. The pad feels thick and stiff enough to not mess up workouts, but just soft enough to make exercising enjoyable.2) It has -30, 0, 30, 45, 60, and 85-ish degrees of positioning - This covers just about any standard exercise you would want to do.3) It has removable knee & feet cushions - They aren't super modular, but they are easy to remove to keep them out of the way when not using them. Nothing fancy to report here.4) It collapses - Not a lot, mind you, but you can pull a pin and it will collapse a bit for storage.tl;dr - Unless you absolutely NEED those top-end features, then buy this. It is the best bang for your buck workout bench out there.

This bench is very sturdy and comfortable! Lightweight enough to move around if needed. Easy to put together. Highly recommend.

I read a lot of the reviews before deciding to try this bench. My bench came in with a slightly damaged box but everything inside was there and okay. It was simple to put together and the pictographic instructions were clear. All of the pieces fit together very well including the bolts holding the seat and back-rest on. BTW, I'm a little over 6' and the seat and back-rest size fit me fine with head support when working off my back, i.e. sit-ups, presses, etc. The backs of the seat and back-rest are finished pretty crudely, specially staples and ragged edge fabric but that is a design not a construction mis-step. The only real, albeit minor, deficiency is, as one other reviewer noted, that the seat and the back-rest are not perfectly aligned. The mis-alignment does not effect the functioning. It's mainly cosmetic. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again.

Would recommend.

I bought this as a replacement for an old bench and it's been great. Putting it together was an easy single person job. It's sturdy and very functional for weight lifting. Def recommend. Cheers

Buen banco, es ligero para mover de lugar pero a la vez resistente

Excelente compra, me sirve de mucho y es muy resistente

Solid, versatile bench at a reasonable cost for basic strength-training exercise. I wanted something that would enable me to do proper flyes, flat or incline, and other work with dumbbells. Does the job. Assembly does take a while - nothing comes assembled - took me about 90 minutes, but instructions were clear and all parts well packed and labelled, etc. Folds up well and allows me to store vertically against a wall and out of way. Able to recommend without hesitation. Five stars.

Assembly was quick and easy and the build quality is great! It really changed my workout experience
