I wanted a weight bench that wouldn't ruin the look of the room, and this one delivers. The beech wood frame has a warm, natural finish and the black PU padding is firm and comfortable, so it looks right at home on a wooden floor instead of shouting "gym equipment". It's solid, too. No wobble or creaking when pressing, even with heavier dumbbells, and it's rated to 265 lbs.
The backrest adjusts from flat through to a steep incline, so it covers flat presses, incline presses, shoulder work and seated curls. Overall length is about 47", and the height range runs from roughly 17" up to 44", which suits a range of exercises. The seat is a compact 13" × 12.2", which keeps it out of the way when you're moving around.
The built-in storage shelf underneath is the best part. At around 45" long, it holds a full set of dumbbells right where you need them, off the floor and out of the way. No more tripping over weights or hunting for the pair you want mid-set.
Assembly is required, but the parts fit well and it came together without any trouble. At this size it fits comfortably in a spare room or corner, so it's a great pick for a small home gym.
I'd happily give it five stars. It's versatile and good-looking, and the storage means my gym stays tidy.
