Advantages: Sturdy

Disadvantages: Inpractical at times

I got given this weight bench along with the weight set for free so for that reason alone i can't really complain about it. However, there are a number of little things which annoy me about it slightly.

The weight bench only allows for a limited grip due to where the catchers are set so you have to be careful not to catch your hands when racking the weight. Secondly, the bench only inclines to a 45 degrees so limits the amount of exercises you can do.

It's not all negative though, the bench itself is very sturdy and can hold a large amount of weight (250kg if i recall correctly) the front end is easily stabilized with additional weight and also the material is durable yet comfy.

As for price i believe these now retail for around 69.99 in some places. I think for a beginner it is ideal but if you are looking for something of a more premium quality it is worth spending a little extra.

Summary: Quite cheap and a reputable brand however not without its faults
