CAP Barbell Multi Purpose Adjustable Utility Bench Color Series

Took me about 15 minutes to assemble, but would only take about 5-10 minutes if you've done it before and knew the steps. Like other reviewers have said, it's not as heavy, nor does it feel feel as sturdy as the $400 benches that you find at LA Fitness or any other commercial gym. But this is tested based on ASTM standards to hold up to 1000 lbs (but they recommend no more than 500 pounds). It has felt relatively sturdy for me so far, but I haven't tested it at those upper limits yet. If I have any issues with stability or durability, I will definitely update the review.I do want to comment about a mistake in the assembly instructions. On #7 of the instruction booklet assembly manual, they have the screw, washer, and nut going into the wrong hole. You can see this in the image attached. Strangely, on #6, which is the complete instruction diagram, they have it going into the correct hole. I'm not sure how this issue got past quality control. As far as I saw, this was the only mistake in the instruction booklet.

First one I ordered had the covering torn so I had to get a replacement.For the most part it does the job, but I can't help but shake the feeling it's going to break with me on it one day.I weigh 155 pounds, and I use 52.5 pound dumbbells on it. The back (the part that declines/inclines) seems sturdy enough, but the seat is already wobbling. Tightening screws doesn't address it, it's just that it's made with a pretty cheap plywood and it's not braced cross-ways.For them to make this a better product they need to put a metal bracket across the frame for the seat to attach to.

This is an okay bench for lightweight use. Great for setting up a spare room or corner of the garage to look like a home gym. Not so great if you intend to actually use it while lifting weights. The wood base for the bench cushions is thin, the screws attaching it to the bench frame are easy to tear out, and the wood itself will deflect/bend if any significant force is applied to it anywhere except right over the center frame support. The low price is tempting but if you weigh over 200 lbs or plan to lift more than 40 lbs it’d be cheaper to buy a nicer bench than to get this one then buy a nicer one afterward anyway.

So, after reading a lot of reviews with about, I would say, 40/50 split negative/positive, I was reluctant to buy this bench. However, due to the limited choices due to the virus and my budget, since I spent a lot of money trying to built my garage gym... I did order it. So here is my review:*Super easy to put together with detailed instructions that specify even the number of the bolt you need. You will need a wrench to tight the bolts properly as it only comes with an Alan wrench. My 5 year old can provably do this... seriously stupid easy.Very lightweight, easy to move. So far very solid. I done chest, and shoulders, so I tried all the angles posible and the bench handle well, no shaking or anything.The decline angle for me is great in fact I use a deeper angle at the gym (Some reviews were complaining of being to steep).Any way, very happy with the bench with value vs. cost.

I ordered this bench and it arrived with minimal packaging and the box had split upon arrival. Loose bolts and pins that are necessary for the bench to function properly and safely were missing. No manual or instructions for use. I contacted CAP and they refused to send replacement parts. Poor customer service and an obvious safety hazard. This item is dangerous to use as is and cannot understand CAPS' unwillingness to send replacement parts.

Typically frustrating to put together as you would expect with a product from pandemic-land. Should work ok if you aren't trying to get too crazy with it.

Overall, this bench is exactly what I wanted for my home gym. It would have been a little easier to assemble if I had a second pair of hands for the locknuts (these seem to be a requirement with all Cap products) but still only took less than an hour to put together. Disappointed that it already looked worn around the edges, but I’m keeping it anyway because I really don’t want to deal With shipping it back and assembling another one!

I like how easy this product was to assemble. Very few nuts, bolts and screws are required to assemble. The bench is good for at home use for those doing light weight work. There is a label on the bench claiming it is sturdy up to 600 lbs I fail to believe that given its shakyness during the rack and unrack of a 135lb bench with 190 lbs of me on it. Also the pad for the back rest came with some tears in the fabric.

I'm 6'2" and was concerned about a bench being too short. This bench is long enough and would likely be long enough for someone at least 6'5". I've been using the bench for a few months now for flat, incline, and decline bench press, military press, etc. and it's an excellent buy for the money, even compared to kijiji.The assembly is easy and the bench is sturdy. The legs are wide enough that there's no wobble to the bench. It's so stable that I would feel comfortable using it for box jumps if I wasn't concerned about tearing up the cushion cover material, which appears decent but not bulletproof and I wouldn't want to test it unnecessarily. As for the cushion, it's firm enough that it doesn't compromise function but it's comfortable to lie on.This is an outstanding bench for the money. The only thing that I wish it had was leg bars to secure your legs for the decline press - the cross-bars seen in the photo aren't padded and are a little short but they can do in a pinch. That being said, most standard benches don't have leg supports and they're not even essential for the decline, just a nice-to-have.This bench doesn't have wheels but it's so light that it moves around very easily. I don't miss wheels at all.The capacity is high enough for my purposes at 600 lbs - I'm about 200 and if I get to the point where I'm pressing 400 lbs, it's probably time for a new bench anyway.

As soon as I bought and put together this bench I loved it, it had multiple angle adjustments and was so sturdy and so much better than the last one I had and the 3rd time I used it I went to go sit on it and it completely collapsed. luckily I was just getting started and was using low warm up weight so I didn't get hurt or anything but when I went to inspect it the metal bent and totally gave out, I weigh about 215lbs and I was only holding 40lbs of weight at the time so I was no where near the max capacity so unfortunately I cannot recommend this due to its unreliability

Es un banco muy útil para realizar diversos ejercicios en casa. Llevo poco tiempo utilizándolo pero hasta ahora va muy bien y se ve resistente. Tendrás que ensamblar el banco, ya que viene desarmado, te tomará entre 30 y 40 minutos dependiendo que tan hábil seas, pero no es complicado. En resumen es un buen artículo.

It works pretty well. The only complaint is that the padding was torn when it was delivered.

Solid bench , good price and relatively easy to install. Make sure you have a wrench ready. Good to use on top of gym mats if possible but not mandatory.

No puedo valorar el producto en general, ya que no lo he podido armar bien porque no vienen todos los tornillos para armarlo.

Es un banco muy bueno me gusto

Great product.

Couple broken knobs in shipping

Easy to assemble and very sturdy. Would definitely recommend.
