I dont usually have a tough time assembling things, but with this product, I had an issue at every step and was following the directions and this took me an hour and a half to assemble. Unfolding the base was not easy, takes a bit of force. The caps on the threads that the legs go on were impossible to remove without sticking a pair of scissors in the hole, twisting it off, and ruining the caps. The legs screwed on pretty easy. For the handle bar, probably more my fault than the instructions, but i had to remove them completely after installing all 8 screws and swap them, wouldve been nice to have stickers on the parts for more clear identification. The actual bar on top that snaps into those side pieces was hard to get in. The net around the bottom rim is a nice concept but wasnt easy to get on without it snapping at me lol. And I think its easier to install the resistance bands before attaching the legs by sliding it over the leg and then screwing the leg on. If you look at the last photo you can see where the bands belong. Its a pretty good price for the product, and I bounced on it for a bit after assembly. Will update my review if need be, but seems solid. I had to give it three stars because the assembly really ruined it for md, but its a good purchase.
Although this product seems to be a stable mini trampoline. I should have paid more attention to reviews! You can fold it fairly easily, but to unfold it it takes too strong people! I do a lot of home repairs so I am not a weakling. It took me and a strong man to unfold this. Therefore I will not be folding and storing it as planned! Now I have to find a place in the house where its not going to be tripped over every moment.
I’m giving it a 3 start not bc of the product but bc of what was on the product… mine came with what it looks like storage mites. So when I received it I had to immediate clean it outside (see pics) but as far as assembly, it was pretty easy. Also it’s not heavy but doesn’t feel cheap… it’s a “you get what you pay for kind of thing.
Im 57 female and things that I like about this bench are: 1) I can rest my head on backrest when in incline position for dumbell bicep curls. 2)The bench is lower so my legs fit comfortably on the floor when doing bench presses and Bulgarian split squats. I do not lift heavy weight, a pair of 15 lbs dumbells usually a few times a week, multiple exercises on bench and have had no problems with the bench.
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.
This bench meets my basic exercise requirements at a reasonable price. Item was easy to unpack/set up and seems to be holding up to 4x sessions a week. Only complaint is locking the bench back pad to an angled position where I have to place a locking pin into the back pad frame. There is no detente or other mechanism to help line up the appropriate bench position hole and the back pad frame so the pin can be inserted. As a result, one has to partially push the pin into the hole and move the bench pad frame up or down to align with the pin before locking the pin in position. An alternative is to tip the entire bench on its side and attach the back pad (actually much easier). If you are going to make several back pad angle changes in a session, this could prove a hassle.
The bench is pretty much as advertised. Feels sturdy and is simple to fold and adjust. My only complaints are there’s a pretty big gap that can be annoying at times. Also, the bench was covered in a TON of dirt and dust when it arrived, which was a bit of a pain to get off. Overall, for a home bench that saves space, it’s a good buy.
Im very happy with this purchase so far. For $89 its a bargain. It has a very cool look. More than in the pictures. Seems pretty sturdy so far. Compared to other benches on and YouTube I havent seen anything twice its price that compares. I hope I get 2 or more years out of it.

Easy to assemble
Unfolding takes too strong people! Not easily storable!!

Strong chemical smell, a bit unsturdy

Locking backrest is difficult

Not perfect, but gets the job done.

Great Bargain for a Decent Bench
