Body-Solid Powerline PFID125X Folding Bench - 7-Position Adjustable Weight Bench for Home Gym, Incline/Decline Workouts, No Assembly Required - Perfect for Strength Training & Full-Body Exercises

I was expecting this bench to be OK and of sufficient build quality but I was expecting to make a compromise in functionality and quality for maximum space efficiency and mobility. Turns out I got the latter as needed but this bench is actually super solid and stable, and while I do wish the back pad had a little more width (it’s tapered to cater to dumbbell lifts which is a plus for that purpose) it’s comfortable and ergonomic. I’m 6’ 190ish and broad shouldered and I feel well supported.The bench sits lower than most adjustable benches and this allows stable footing and leg drive when pressing. The gap is barely noticeable when laying flat. Padding is nice and firm with a nice feeling texture and decent grip. Super easy to fold up and unfold and wheel around. I would never expect a folding bench to be this robust however and was always skeptical of this concept. I love that is has a legit low incline setting and 7 altogether- not common at this price point. The seat pad is fixed but so far not finding this bothersome and I might partially be able attribute this to the footing aspect I described above. It’s an attractive looking bench and happens to match my Powerline rack I purchased at the same time. Both were on sale recently and I feel like I got an incredible value on this setup. The fact it was ready to go out the box was of course an icing on the cake as well. Body-Solid packages their equipment very well in my experience, it arrived as one would hope it to, had to reapply the little padded decal however. Can’t go wrong with this bench if you need a good mix of quality and sturdiness and space saving features for a home gym
