ive had the bench for roughly 6 months now. Definitely has some pros: the price, it folds up nice and small so it doesnt take up too much space, many configurations.
It does has some pretty big cons though: there is a strong, chemical/off-gassing smell that has never gone away. I was hoping this would dissipate over time, but 6 months in and its as strong as ever. Its a bit rickety and not super sturdy; you notice this when its flat and doing presses. The pins can sometimes be a bit hard to line up just right.
All in all, I think Ill get at least a year out of it. **Oh, and they provide an email to receive a $20 gc if you leave a review (which they offer no encouragement to write a positive one which is nice), but the code they send you wont work...kinda obviously.
