Great bench at a great price.
Bench was super easy to assemble, looks good, is light, and can deal with my weight the barbell very well. For only $50, I am not sure you can do better than this.

I'm returning this bench for a different brand.
The vinyl covering is not quite intact and is loose fitting... padding underneath only covered 90% of the hard base (exactly where the vinyl is loose). Instructions said to contact Weider for any problems and not to return product to store. So, I sent photos and product info. They gave me the run around and have poor consumer service. Who the heck registers a faulty pc of equipment? For some reason, they want you too.

    This is a sturdy piece of exercise equipment. Easy to put together with or without instructions. The material is very durable and I haven't had an issue with it. It's doing exactly what I was meant to do.

    Wrong pieces packaged and they don't care
    Worst customer service! I bought this back in October as a Christmas gift for my son. We unboxed in March when his room was set up for workouts. He tried putting it together and they sent the wrong piece. I had to make 2 emails for them to respond to me, and then they kept saying it was out of warranty. I told them this isn't a warranty issue, this is negligence in the packing of their own product… several emails later they are just repeating themselves about the warranty. I have to buy the replacement leg extra because they sent the wrong part. Never took ownership of their mistake just blamed me for not opening it Sooner. The picture is of the two legs they sent for this bench. They would rather have a poor review: and an extremely unhappy customer. Again, not in one of their emails did they apologize for their poor quality control. Just blamed me.

    Shame on Fed Ex
    I will leave another review after we try out the bench...BUT for now this is not about the product, but rather the delivery from Fed Ex. I can't understand why WM uses this service. They left my package out in the rain when a few more feet it was dry, they always do this. They also lied and said it was left on the front porch. Will definitely limit my orders through WM because of this. Please look at using a different shipping company. You can't even leave them a review like the professionals from UPS

    Good Bench
    What a great bench for $40. You have to sit on the edge and fall back and there is just enough space to do dumbell bench presses . I'm 6ft tall . Very stable and sturdy .

    Great bench
    The bench is a solid addition to our home gym. The only thing that could be better is the length is in the short side. But overall it's been great for exercises that require a sturdy surface.

    Good product for lightweights
    A bit flimsy wouldn't recommend for heavy weight lifting or really tall people, however I'm using it for a step up bench and free weight dumbbells and gets the job done. Great value for the price!

    while the bench is sturdy and easy to assemble - it is not long enough for even a average height person

    This bench serves its purpose but it is best for someone very short or a kid. I'm used to longer benches at the gym where I can lay down fully. When I lay back to do bench press my head and neck are off the bench and I have to scoot forward. Then my butt is off the other end. I'm 5'5” for reference.

    A Short Weight Bench
    My only complaint is that it's about 6 inches shorter than every flat bench I've had. I'm 5'8, and I feel like I'm hanging off the bench for dumbbell rows. I have to sit on the very edge before I lay down so my head isn't hanging off. Seems more appropriate for someone under 5 foot tall. Quality seems fine. It's comfortable to lay on.

    As expected, sturdy and simple
    Little to dislike about this one. I think it will last. It doesnt sit perfectly flat because we got one of the bolts overtight on assembly and it bent the metal around the underside of the footing slightly.

    Nice addition
    Fast shipping. Easy assembly, didn't have the right wrench or sockets so I used vise grips instead, still relatively easy. Sturdy, doesn't shake while in use.

    Overall ok, need wrench, wabbles a little
    Price OK, you will need a wrench to assemble it (to tighten the rings on the screws) as no assembling tools were provided unlike IKEA stuff. After everything is done I found that it wobbles a little when sitting on one end, guess the two sides were uneven, but it could be me not doing a good job assembling it causing the uneven ends - who knows. Over all it's an OK budget home gym item.

    Perfect flat bench for weights workouts
    I use this almost everyday for exercising with barbells - the height is just right, and I can do a variety of exercising using the Weider flat bench.

    Basic, sturdy; built to last.
    This is a good, basic, sturdy bench. I'm a grown man and it is just big enough to do laying exercises on. The cushion is firm and the construction looks like it'll last for years.
