How stable is this bench? I bought a similarly cheap bench from Wallyworld 5 years ago and it wobbled a lot and decline position was kind of scary.

Decline position is scary. The pin does come out occasionally due to the wobble of the main bench. I just double check every time I use it.

Haha it's sturdy. At first it was wobbly because we didn't have the right tools to put it together but a trip to Home Depot and now it works great!

It's probably fir, but whatever it is, it's terrific. I gave it two coats of marine polyurethane and after 6 months outside it still looks like new.I haven't seen any bench of this size and quality for much less than $300, and I paid only $75. Also, easy to assemble.

Ive had two of them for about a year now and they still look great and no wobbles! I just purchased another for a guest house, so I'd say that I'm very pleased with the benches. All the hardware is hidden beneath teak caps so you don't have any corroding metal to deal with. I would definitely recommend them!

Yes. Mine actually had some alignment issues with one of the lugs being a little off location but it was easily corrected and we now love our new bench!

The frame of the whole bench should be sturdy for the most part. the bench shouldn't be wobbly.

Hello, I have the benches for about 2 years now and lots of people have been using it. They are very versatile, solid and comfortable. You always can put some cushions on top of it. Thomas

Im dam near 300lbs, and it's the most stable of any weight Benches that I ever owned. The width of the frame is about 3 inches wide, this is going to be more than likely the last bench I ever purchase due to it's durability.

I have been on it and weigh more than 200 lbs. no issues. I will say that if it has been assembled and used for a while the screws will need tightening, which may be why another reviewer had issues with wobble.

I agree with M. Wallace. The bench is very strong and I've had three adults sit on it too with no discernible problems at all. Love this set!

Its pretty solid. But its only as solid as the bench it is on. Although it did make the bench i already have a little more sturdy. I had my loadmaster on this and it was perfectly stable. The most sturdy set up ive had so far though is the lee reloading stand. That thing doesnt budge no matter how crazy you get on it. Its very rigid. There is no pIn to lock it in just the 4 screws that clamp the plate down. But it holds it fine

It's not too heavy, but it stays put and is a solid bench. The package itself says it's 60 pounds so it should be somewhere close to that.

If you mean how big is it, I would say it is a full sized bench like you would find in any gym. It is quite comfortable in my opinion and I am over 200 pounds and 6 foot tall. If you mean the maximum weight it will hold, I have personally had it support over 500 pounds without an issue.

The bench can "slide" a bit, but is not wobbly during bench movements. It is definitely worth the money, especially considering it goes to military, incline, flat, and decline. If I would have gotten just the power rack, then I would have looked elsewhere (craigslist) for a bench.

I paid 29. 99, my guess is that due to some complaints about damaged benches sent in only the box from the manufacturer, that they took extra care to package better. OR, it may come unassembled from other vendors? I know I pulled mine out of the box, opened the legs and it was ready to go. This is not a lightweight bench. There are other benches that cost more than this one, doubt that they could be better than this. I did see that a couple of the negative reviews were not for the product, but.due to packaging. Hope this helps.

Yeah, i don't think that would be a problem... the bench is very stable lengthwise, it rocks a little side to side but its still stable that way as well. I'd give it a test run to be sure but I'm traveling at the moment.

I don't think it's cheap at all. When I was looking I didn't know what it was going to be like so I just went w my gut and got it. I am 350 and I sit on it with tons of crap inside and on top of it and it can support the weight. The only thing that you might not like is that the bench does NOT fully open. It opens 75% of the way. I don't mind it but I am sure someone else might. I hope this has helped! -Jay

I'd like to answer: 1) the bench (I've had mine two years) is sturdy. 2) I'm 77 (now) and I picked it up to assemble and to move around the patio. 3) It's solid and weighs as you would expect a sturdy, solid piece of out door furniture to weigh.Hope this answers your question in some way.
