Keppi1200LB Weight Bench, Heavy Duty Bench1000 PRO Adjustable Workout Bench Press Set for Home Gym Strength Training, Removable Foot Catch for Incline Flat Decline Sit Up Bench for Full Body Fitness

I love this bench...it's very sturdy and doesn't move. I like benches that have some weight to them. I love the degrees are numbered on the bench, and I like that it locks in ablnd its very safe to use. You won't have to worry about safety with this bench. Very satisfied with the purchase. Putting it together was a breeze and didn't need the instructions.

I searched for a month trying to decide on a bench. I went back and forth, how much do I want to spend, how much do I need to spend, what features do I need and want.I caught this on sale, so for $XYZ amount, it has all the desired features I wanted. It's a FID bench that the seat adjustment/angle, matches the backrest angles available. This was for situps particularly, who wants to decline situps with seat at different angle?!It also has an adjustable depth of leg cushions, in/out, not up and down. This helps fine tune your comfort and as you bulk you can adjust out further.The backrest has multiple angles, much more than even most of the expensive big names. It may not matter to you, I wanted to be able to fine tune exactly the way I wanted to hit proper muscle groups and not at weird angles. Many YT reviewers complain about the way the pull pins operate to adjust seat and back. You absolutely do NOT have to screw it in after adjusting, for any safety reason. I used these exact same style pull pins at work, for heavy duty tooling changes at automotive plants. The only caveat I would add, if you are benching 300lbs+ and you are a big guy, I would recommend screwing it in before benching, just as a precaution. The rest don't have anything to worry about.Currently my bench is standing on end against wall. It's heavy duty enough for lifting, and light enough you can roll across floor and store. Women, have no fear, its easily moved by you or your teens. The balance is just right with the wheels.If I had to do it all over again, I'd not think twice buying again. No regrets at all.Happy lifting

The media could not be loaded. It went together smoothly in under 20 minutes, no issues there. However: there is a bulge, or lump, in the back rest, about 2/3 of the way up looking from the seat. See images attached. Being soft, it does not get in the way of my workout, so I decided to keep the bench. But it cost it one star. Another star goes away for the set screws for the seat and back rest. I wonder how long the threads will last both on the pins and the frame. The threads seem fragile.Having said that, the bench is the right size for someone less than 5'6" tall. I'm 5'1", and it allows me to firmly plant my feet on the floor while sitting/laying down during workout. Another good thing is the relatively narrow back rest, which petite persons will find very comfortable for various types of workouts.The padding is adequate, stitching is good. Welds are good, so is the paint. I like the adjustability from -20° to 90°, and the adjustable leg rollers. The wheels are more for home gym rather than for commercial gym, but it rolls smoothly enough and it is not too heavy. About that, it may pose an issue with stability while using heavier weights, but for what I use it is perfectly stable.Overall, a well designed bench with lots of features going for it. Would have been 5 stars, if not for that bulge and the set screws' threads.March 1 update: I raise the rating to 5 stars. The seller sent a replacement for the defective back rest, and even offered a full refund. And after using the bench for a while I can say that indeed it is a great piece of equipment and it handles all my gym needs.

This is very good quality bench. Good range of motion. Sturdy. Good size. Easy to adjust. I like it and kept it. The materials and craftsmanship are what you would expect for the money. It's not quite the same quality fabric as the next category up (the $350-500 bench range), but it's a step up from the normal $100-200 benches in everyway except the two cons below. Obviously I was choosing between the major players in this space (especially fitness reality and flybird), and even considering splurging for the superior REP benches, but money was too tight. They all have their pros and cons. It all comes down to cost and value. This bench is a good value when it's on sale, but at full price of $270, then definitely get the fitness reality 2000 for $200. I think it's slightly better then the fitness reality 2000, except for the major con below. It's going to be a lot better than the flybird benches, but those fold down and this one doesn't. So if space is tight, then the foldable ones will be better.The two cons of this bench are:1. The leg position in decline is horrible. It could really mess up your knees I think. There was clearly no testing on this. The position is just wrong on full decline and does not adjust. Basically it holds your knees past 90 degrees and straight up hurts. Also, to adjust the lock pad requires an allen wrench instead of a handscrew, which is just stupid. These are critical errors in design. An add on foot locker could fix this, but no way Keppi is going offer that. They should though. If Keppi fixed this it would be 5/5 all day long, but a lot of people will want this bench for decline sit-ups and the leg lock position makes this feature unusable (or painful at the very least). I am able to do decline work, but I just don't lock my legs in the way your supposed to. It's a disappointment, but not a complete deal breaker. Buy one and you'll find out exactly what I mean.2. There is no easy way to store this bench. It's big and in the most used flat position, it does not stand upright safely (you have to unscrew/adjust to an more angled position and then it will stand upright). So I wouldn't get it if space is tight and your going to be storing it that way. This isn't a deal breaker, but it's a weakness that could be easily resolved with testing. It will take up the floor space it requires and not store away or fold down easily. That's fine, not really a con, just be aware.
