Advantages: stable and versatile....did I mention stable (Its excellent) Disadvantages: A bit costly, the weights you will need are expensive.
This is the best bench out there for the money, offering versality of exercise but being one of the sturdiest benches I have used.
FUNCTIONALITY
Adjusts from decline, flat, incline, and full upright position
Now this for me is a really improtant aspect of the bench as the ability for the bench in particular to decline is an important aspect of weighttraining that is not offered by other benches. Most benches will operate from flat, through to fully upright. This covers most exercises from bench pressing to arm (bicep curls etc) and shoulder work (shoulders press). However with the introduction of the decline, it provides the opportunity to do decline presses and/or decline butterfly's (bench pressing on the decline) This is particularly useful to be able to develope the muscles in the lower pectorial's (in the chest ...
Advantages: Reliable, easy to use Disadvantages: Spinlock safety locks not very secure if not tightened properly
I purchased this about a year ago and was pretty impressed with it. With the set you get a 7kg barbell bar with 2 spinlock safety locks, 2 dumbell bars with 4 spinlock safety locks and plates that go up as: 4 x 5kg, 4 x 2.5kg, 4 x 1.25 and 4 x 0.5kg. The barbell and the dumbells have good grip sections on them however form blisters on your hands if used a lot, therefore I would suggest purchasing some good quality York weightlifting gloves to prevent this.
The spinlock safety locks are good if you tighten them really tight, however they easily gradually unspin if you do not tighten them enough. Also in my opinion the weight of the plates could be in higher weight value, like 4 x 7.5kg just so that people who like to add extra weight can do as it is difficult to get many more than 2 plates on each side especially on the dumbells.

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 ...
