Sunny Health & Fitness Compact Premium Incline Bench Press Bar Rack Set with Optional Leg Extension & Preacher Curl - Strength Training Equipment for Home Gym | Perfect for Weight Lifting, Bodybuilding & Full-Body Workouts

I bought this product when it only had 12 reviews and one-half decent picture. From my experience with other products I could tell from the pictures that this thing was likely good quality for the price. Right off the bat the pictures and product description do not do a good job explaining just how good a quality this is especially at this price.The 2-inch square tubing is some above average steel gauge, I suspect it is 11-gauge steel. They really should disclose this here or on the Sunny website (I could not find exact specs). It is thicker than most home gym equipment I encounter unless you are paying way more than $300. I have a Rogue Echo bike and the steel being used is very close and Rogue is known for over engineering and using above average (more than is truly necessary) steel gauge.The foam padding is very high density, I have two other benches that are flat only, one of which I built myself and this is much higher density foam than either of the other two. It is 2-inch-thick foam.The vinyl fabric covering the bench is also very good with excellent stitching and no give or wrinkles.The leg foam rolls are 4x8-inch thick high-density foam and covered in vinyl and feel very good quality. They slide onto a 1-inch steel tube that is very sturdy.The red plastic end caps could have been nicer if made of some metal but surprisingly they are very strong and not as cheap as you might have thought from the pictures.They have very strong rubber anti slip feet on the ends that will not be sliding off as they do on cheap benches. It is extremely sturdy with no wobble.The backrest adjusting frame is very well made, it has very nice and thick rubber/foam handles to grab when adjusting and overall feels very premium compared to other adjustable benches with similar design I have used.Cons: it is tall (20.5-inch), taller than a competition/regulation flat bench (17-inch), thereby taller than my other two benches, which is unfortunate but not uncommon in adjustable benches. Be warned as I see someone short having issues. Just so happens to be perfect for me (6’1”).Packaging/Shipping: This arrived via UPS and the hardware was scattered all over the inside, it is technically inside a vacuum sealed package inside the larger shipping box but it arrived to me having somehow opened and scattered everywhere. The actual benches large box was not completely sealed which is risky since little pieces can easily fly out during shipping. By some miracle only 3 black flat washers were missing, which as luck would have it I had just barely enough spare ones in my home tools/supplies. But most people will not have these around. If a screw, spring washer, or other less common items like the bushings or rotation rods are missing that would have tainted the whole experience. But I will not ding a star just because the actual product is very good. One other thing is the tube on the backrest into which the bushings and one of the rods is supposed to slide into was dented and no longer a circle so rather then return I just fixed it myself and hammered things in luckily it did not affect functionality at all. I blame UPS a little on this but recommend an upgrade to packaging for the company. This probably sound scary since no one wants to have to fix new things, but shipping is always a roll of the dice, I tend to be very forgiving since I have experience fixing things.I took lots of pictures, all the ones I wish had been available when I was shopping for this bench. I think Sunny has done an amazing job at the price point, I will likely take a look at their other products and hope they do a better job advertising the good specs their equipment seems to have based on this bench.
