I've had this bench for 5 years now and it has held up great. I don't usually write reviews, but I saw such a low rating for such a great product and figured I would weigh in. I use it for bench press, never really use the leg attachment. Work out with 150+, so I'm not lifting tons of weight, but I'm not gentle with the bench and there isn't even a wobble after 5 years (though I probably just jinxed it). The point is, if you're looking for a bench, this one pretty good.
One tip I've learned from previous benches. If you wan't it to last, don't set weights on the cushion overnight or prolonged periods of time. It can make the seams of the padding come apart on any bench. I've avoided that problem with this bench.

Best bench for the price.,

Ive been using this bench for at least 4 years. It is very sturdy for its weight and holds up well. I use it almost every day and bench 300+ lbs. Ive never had an issue with it. My dog chewed off the fabric, and while benching on hard flat wood isnt that great, I just lay a towel on it so it doesnt scratch me.
Not Pheonix's fault my dog chews stuff, but it withstood my dog, a large pitbull, and it withstands me almost every day.
Great bench for the price, yes there are better, but not for 150 there arent.

The package arrived (after some terrible tracking issues) in very good shape, considering it's a single, large, heavy box. Upon opening, I was actually surprised at the well-executed packaging (including recyclable bags around most parts). There was one square box of hardware and a decent instruction manual. The first couple pages were filled with the usual disclaimer and a full-sized rendering of all the bolts, helping to ensure the right ones were used in the right spot. The rest of the manual was filled with decent illustrations and directions, with several pages in the back talking about how to exercise. It's not the end-all-be-all of workout instructions, but it's a nice touch and the info is accurate. Upon laying everything out and inspecting, I did find a couple spots of damage. One was just a small spot of flaking paint where one of the legs was capped, another was where one of the bench supports is missing a plastic cap and the last was where it looked like the olympic sleeve...Read more
