Great Purchase!
This bench has worked out perfectly for what I purchased it for. It is easy to assembly, very sturdy, and works well with the P90x and Body Beast workouts I use it with.I store it in a small office and roll it into my workout area when I am ready to use it. It has wheels on one end and a handle on then other making it quite easy to move.The adjustments are very easy to make as far as flat, incline, decline, and 90 degrees. The seat has a true flat position but also pivots, which I like better than the other utility bench I tried.The only issue I have had is it slides around some when I am using it because my workout area has oak hardwood flooring. I am going to put some thin rubber on the feet of the bench where it contacts the flooring to prevent this . For now I simply put a thin layer of masking tape on the feet to stop the sliding.Not sure about the maximum weight limit but it is very solid feeling with myself (180 lbs) and my dumbbells (103 lbs total) while working out.So far, I highly recommend this product and I will update my review as time progresses to detail how well this bench holds up!UPDATE: 05/20/15This bench continues to hold up well and I am still using it! Still looks new and I am happy with it!

Superb Piece of Exercise Equipment
The Marcy incline bench exceeded my expectations. It’s definitely one of the finest pieces of exercise equipment I’ve ever purchased.The bench was very well packed when I received it. Styrofoam kept the parts from banging against one another during shipping. The assembly instructions were very easy to follow and the bench was fully assemble quickly. All hardware was contained in a blister pack. All bolts were hex heads and all necessary sizes of hex wrenches were included.The most important factor to me on exercise equipment is safety. The Marcy bench is thoroughly stable and secure. It’s heavy duty without being heavy. There’s no wobble when using it or fear of collapse.The other thing I want in a bench like this is ease of adjustment. You can change both the back and seat angle in under 10 seconds and when they’re set they’re not going to slip. Whoever engineered this bench did a marvelous job.The bench has a small handle on one end and wheels on the other so it’s very easy to maneuver. I keep mine in the garage but it can easily fit under a bed or in a closet. Also the upholstery is top notch and sewn very well.Can you tell I’m pleased with my bench? It’s definitely well worth the money and I’m elated with this purchase.

Exceptional… with a few exceptions
I am impressed and pleased to find such high quality at such an affordable price. This is my first weight bench.Good:1. Steel frame is very well constructed and heavy gauge. More than adequate for the job.2. It is comfortable.3. I am 6′ 1″ and I can rest my head even in the decline position.4. I purchased this bench especially because the seat tilts and locks in three positions. To try to use such a bench with the back in the decline position, but with a flat seat, would be horrendous.5. Assembly was relatively simple.6. It folds up to reduce storage space requirements.Not So Good:1. When screwing the seat onto its supports, be sure to just barely start each screw in its hole before tightening or you will have a devil of a time lining up the last screw.2. The assembly manual could be clearer for those who are not mechanically inclined.3. Both the seat and backrest had tears in the flimsy fabric on the back. A little superglue fixed that.4. Needs to come with a gallon jug of motivation. ;o)Downright Bizarre!:WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!! Why are there no leg supports on this bench?! With the seat and the back in their full decline positions you slide right off without some way of holding yourself on. Crikey mate! – when you’re holding big chunks of steel above your face, that could be flippin’ dangerous.Solution:I built my own leg supports (see picture).Parts list:1 – 1/2″ galvanized floor flange1 – 1/2″ x 1″ galvanized nipple1 – 1/2″ x 12″ galvanized pipe1 – 1/2″ galvanized “T”1 – 1/2″ galvanized 45° joint2 – 1/2″ x 8″ galvanized pipe4 – 1/4″ x 3/4″ flat or oval-head machine screws, lock washers, & nuts2 – 4″ x 7″ (or 6″, or 8″) w/ 7/8″ or 1” I.D. Foam Roller Pads such as: Foam Roller 23mm Sold PairOptional:1 – spray primer (preferably compatible with zinc)1 – spray paintFor making the feet a little more floor friendly, I coated them with PlastiDip – the blue goo you see in the picture. Performix 075815116048 Blue Plasti DipAMAZON:Please fix the description. There are NO leg supports included.Marcy – Some Suggestions:1. PUT SOME LEG SUPPORTS ON THIS THING!!2. Correct the hole drilling jig used for the screw holes on the seat bottom.3. Improve the packaging. The powder coat on a number of parts was scuffed. Fortunately only one small spot was scratched clear to the metal.

I’m not a huge lifter, but I’ve set up a home gym as a result of covid. I wanted a bench to do bench press, military press and maybe some incline. I do not do decline. Local stores were sold out of their affordable benches; spent a lot of time looking on Amazon. So much of the product on Amazon looked like crap and reviewed like crap. Too flimsy. Not supporting enough weight. I’m only benching 120 lbs; but combined with my 185 lbs body weight, i’m at the limit of many of the inexpensive benches. This is really the only one that looked sturdy enough and adjustable enough (many reviewers complain of slipping off the seat if the seat is not adjustable when doing incline).You have to do assembly, but instructions are well laid out and parts are well identified. I commend them for their method of parts identification. No problem here. It assembled together well.On first test, it feels very sturdy. It’s a good length and width for me (I’m 6’2″). Adjustments work fine. I really like the wheels for moving it in and out of my rack.Update: I initially rated at five stars. I’ve noticed the quality control standards are below my expectation. The mounting holes on the underside of the seat pad aren’t aligned properly with the pad. The result is the seatpad is angled when mounted (see photo). It’s cockeyed enough that it bothers me. I’m going to contact the company and see what they say.Update #2: Contacted the company and received an immediate (within 30 minutes) response. They are sending me a new seat pad, no questions asked. I am in Canada. The company also responded that if I receive any import charges, they will cover them. Great customer service.

If I could give this 4.5/5 then I would, but I will push it to 5 starts as it really is a high quality bench.This bench is a very sturdy, well made piece of equipment. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and really do like it. both the bench and seat angles adjust very easily and are very solid once in place. This is good for all exercises I’ve done so far, including step ups with weights which sometimes are not that solid on other benches. This bench feels like it will last a long time.I was wondering if it folds up for storage as it was not certain from the description. But it does have a pin under the seat you simply pull out, and the leg folds in so that this bench is more easily stored. It is about 10″ at the highest point when folded down. It does not fit under my bed, but easily goes into a closet, against a wall, etc for storage. There are only two things I wish it had – one more decline position, and leg supports for doing decline sit ups etc. But It is shown in the picture and information that it does not have those things, so I can’t fault it for that.Overall this is a great bench and good value for the money
