Detailed Criteria - Stability, Size, Simplicity, Comfort, Adjustability, Long-Term Expectancy!
Specifically for the purposes of a home gym adjustable weight bench, I provide this a 5/5. I would probably place it about 4 or 4.5 if you intend to have more commercial use. The criteria for my decision include: Stability (5/5), Size (5/5 [6/5 if I could]), Simplicity (5/5), Comfort (5/5), Adjustability (4.5/5), Long-Term Expectancy (4.5/5) (Read further for details).I have been lifting for about 4 years now and have had experience with gym equipment from several facilities, both higher and lower end in quality. I am 5'5" and tend to stick between 143-148 lbs when I'm focused on my strength training while maintaining my cardio conditioning. I use this bench with adjustable dumbbells that can range from 2.5 - 100 lbs each (I have personally not capped over 80 lbs each).Stability: The stability of this contraption is evident from the moment you remove it from the box. Its welding is superb and trustworthy. It feels solid, and of what is already pre-assembled, well-tightened. Furthermore, I have been able to conduct body balance exercises off of nearly any part of this bench without a fear of it falling over or breaking. Thus far, it has displayed no sign of deteriorating on me from my workouts.Size: Well, the dimensions are provided to you, so it should come as no surprise. However, the fact that it can be folded... that is extremely size efficient. I measured its folded dimensions to be 50" High x 24" Wide x 10" Long. This is the primary reason for my size rating. Overall, it can take up a decent amount of exercise depending on the setting of your seat (will also be addressed further). The backrest is rather long and while I'm clearly not the tallest individual, it should be able to support people well above my height. The seat has a wide surface area that has not conflicted with exercises in which I would generally prefer a smaller seat. Furthermore, when I need to move this around the house, whether I choose to utilize the wheels or carry it, it is extremely light for a weight bench.Simplicity: The assembly was SIMPLE. I had to secure 5 separate screws. The bottom bars of the seat and backrest, and the leg bar. A total of 5 pieces secured: 4 of which are tightened with the provided wrench (2 per bar + spring and flat washers) and the last is the leg bar, which is screwed on with the knob attached to it. While I have mentioned the folding of this bench, I will mention it again with simplicity. Simplicity of transportation, storage, adjusting the incline/decline/flat status, and general placement; unbeatable. Also, the seat adjustment... also very simple with 3 advertised settings.Comfort: This is soft and sturdy. You can feel its reliability and do not feel pain developing in hard rear-end as a result. It feels form fitting and its wider surface area is helpful for that.Adjustability: Moving it from Incline to decline to flat to whichever way, you need only simply apply gentle pressure to raise the backrest, and move the support bar to the desired setting. As for the seat, you need only hold it steady, remove the pin, set the angle, and re-insert the pin. The leg bar, loosen and remove the knob, move to desired hole, re-secure. And again... Fold it up, roll it over to your preferred location for storage/space efficiency.Long-Term Expectancy: During my inspection, I felt skeptical of the stitching used to bind the fabric to the bench. I was able to simply pinch a couple strands that came flowing out. Since I have used it for about a week, this concerns me, but even with regular use, I expect that the stitching will only really become a problem no sooner than 9 months out. Overall, the bench will still hold out for years on years on years (or so I expect). Furthermore, the wheels on the backrest bar are rather small. They require accuracy to get the best roll and do not seem to be a priority of Fitness Reality. However, as I mentioned, should this be kept in house and well-maintained, the wheels are still better than no wheels at all and help this adjustable weight bench to earn my rating of 5/5 for home gym purposes!!!

Quality materials and construction
I bought the Fitness Reality bench because of its design and low price. My expectations weren't that great, to be frank. Its features are exactly what I was looking for-no bells and whistles-enabling upper body exercises at a variety of angles (such as incline, flat and decline bench press) and the bar holding one's feet wasn't heavily padded, which I've found to be problematic on other benches (I just need something to hold my feet when I sit up, not heavy padding as you would on leg machines).I was surprised to find that the bench and parts are made of high quality components, and are well-crafted: No cheap paint jobs that scrape off the first time something rubs against it, no thin, ragged metal edges or holes, and no cheap bolts and nuts that barely screw together with two wrenches. And, the welds are solid! The padding on the seat is likewise sturdy and well-sewn.The assembly instructions, even with a complete schematic, were very simple and clear: A child could follow them. The cardboard and plastic hardware container was likewise VERY well labeled, making assembly a no-brainer.I tried out the bench immediately to see if the function would match the form. Yep, it did: The bench easily supported my weight and that of my dumbbells (combined 345 lbs) with no rocking and no movement of the frame, including at the joint between the seat and the back. It feels very solid, yet it also seems lightweight. With its low price, I was expecting a functional but poorly-crafted piece of equipment. Instead, I feel like I got a well-made, useful piece of exercise equipment for a song. I recommend this product 100%.

Great Bench for Home Use
This Fitness Reality gym bench came well packaged and was not damaged upon arrival. The assembly process was quite easy as well as it only took about 35 mins. Once fully put together the bench not only looks cool but it functions properly. I have been using it for about two weeks and I have been able to get some solid workouts at home. The only downside so far, is that the Fitness Reality logo that is printed on the bench is slightly fading due to my sweat when I rest my head after bench pressing. But other than that I am satisfied with my purchase, and will continue to enjoy using the bench.

Panca per allenamenti con pesi e altro in casa
E' davvero un bel oggetto. Panca molto solida, facile da gestire per gli esercizi e da ripiegare in modo che non occupi tanto spazio in casa. Anche il prezzo non è esagerato per la qualità del prodotto. Comprata con gli sconti del black friday è stata davvero un affare. Sono molto soddisfatto e ne raccomando l'acquisto.

Robusto... cómo de gim
Tamaño perfecto para gente grande (mido 1.90 y ok). Por construcción y estabilidad no tiene nada que envidiar a los bancos de gimnasio (tuve un banco de decathlon, y nada que ver). Parecen buenos acabados... ahora toca meterle caña y ver que aguante tiene.
