I had problems with an earlier bench I bought that collapsed on me while I was bench pressing. Fearing this may happen again, I was looking for a replacement that would never suffer this plight. This bench is extremely solid and very, very sturdy. It is well constructed with no points of weakness in its configuration. It has three main metal parts, two of which are the base. There is no chance of structural failure. The only negative feature is the width of the bench. The bench could be a bit wider; it is not quite wide enough to fully support your back because there is so much padding that when bench pressing, the weights feel as they may tilt from side to side; again this was not a strutural problem but a pad to bench width ratio issue. Again, if you need a rock solid bench...this is for you. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a sturdy and safe bench."..." Read more
