Advantages: Comfortable strong and rigid Disadvantages: Price
...the back can be folded up or positioned flat. This allows you to stretch out fully or sit upright or a variety of positions between the 2.
At the "Feet" end of the bench is a leg curler. Again this is padded and allows the user to position their ankles or feet under the curler and lift weights which can be attached to the front of it. Good for building your calfs and Thighs.
At the "head" end of the bench is the barbell support. This comprises of 2 long upright bars with weight rests on top. These are V shaped to hold the barbell safe above you when not lifting. Again they are strongly constructed to hold the weight.
Overall.
This is a great bench. Sure you can use a bench from a breakfast table if you want but it is not going to be as good or as safe as a proper weightsbench. Go for a York one as they last and they are very strong. you...

Advantages: easy to assemble Disadvantages: the design could be improved
...During my gap year from sixth form to university I got a job as a lifeguard at the local sports centre and as a consequence spent a lot of time in the gym. I puchased a york 6605 weightsbench so I could workout at home instead of travelling to and from the gym on my days off. It was reasonably straightforward to assemble and at first I was delighted with it. However, after using it a few times I began to notice the design faults. Firstly, when doing leg curls, especially quadricep raises it was hurting my shins, I don't think it was designed with tall people in mind (im 6ft 1'). Because of this I had to place something on the seat to elevate my vertical position. The second problem was the bench press. This was fine when performing flat or decline bench presses, but when performing incline ones it is very hard to lift the weights off...

Advantages: Can support 200kg so good for the big guys. Disadvantages: Butterfly wings get in the way.
...The York Foldingbench is an incline bench which can be easily adjusted to give 4 different angles of back rest, It also has a detachable leg extension attachment which is great for doing leg curls. It has 2 safety hooks for the barbell bench press which is a must if you are working out on your own and don't have a spotter. It has 2 butterfly attachment which just get in the way and nobody ever really uses them. The maximum total weight it supports is 200kg including body weight so it is good for the heavy lifters.
My opinion on the bench is:
I think it is really good its durable and comfortable, it can be easily folded up to hide away in a corner. I have had a lot of use out of mine and its still going strong. Its very sturdy and is built with thick metal tubing. Its defiantly worth the wile buying it, it costs around 89...
