This foldable weight bench aims to provide a space-efficient solution for home gyms while maintaining functionality and stability.
Basic Weight Bench for Home Gym, Foldable Workout Bench with 8 Backrests, 660LBS Weight Capacity Adjustable Bench
Build Quality:
The weight bench features a steel frame construction that supports its claimed 660-pound weight capacity. While sturdy overall, there’s some minor wobble at maximum incline positions. The padding is firm but not uncomfortable, covered with sweat-resistant material that holds up well to regular use. The folding mechanism feels secure, though it requires careful handling to prevent pinching.
Adjustability:
The 8 backrest positions offer good versatility, ranging from decline to full upright. The adjustment mechanism is straightforward but occasionally sticks, requiring some force to change positions. The seat remains flat, which can create a gap at steeper inclines – a common issue with benches in this price range.
