here we go-no nonsense review lol . got this yesterday as an upgrade to an old multigym I have been using, took about 2.5hrs to put together on my own with coffee breaks, instructions weren't great either, bench folds away to next to nothing which is perfect if space is an issue, have loaded 100kg on the bar and takes it fine, squat rack has a little wobble at this weight but I have the bars extended all the way as im over 6ft. the pec dec gets in the way when bench pressing but you can easily pop them on or off just dont use the permanent bolts supplied use the hand screws,put 25 kg on each side (over the stated 20kg limit)and worked fine. preacher attachment seemed solid enough when curling 30kg and so did the leg extension with 50kg (over the restriction but had to give it a test)Im sure with a bit of gumption you could bolt a couple of bars to the ground to trap the front end to make it extra safe but so far I don't seem to be having the wobbling issues with the bench? Lat pulldown wont take much weight, put the restricted 40kg on and wouldn't fancy putting much more on as its a long pole and it feels like it may give, this attachment is still good for tricep pushdowns and cable curls though so its not totally useless, but if you want it for your back, lats etc buy a chinning bar. would have gave 4.5 stars just due to the lack of weight you can put on (would have ideally preffered more on the squat rack)but it is ample for an intermediate or home user and at least this manufacturer tells you in the details, I had to email many to get full specs. any bad issues down the line and I will report back but so far very pleased with the bench for both solidity and value for money.

Got this yesterday, it took me about 90minutes to put together. Would go a lot faster if I used a proper spanner/wrench instead of the things provided. Overall it's good, I was aware of the faults people previously complained about. The front end with the leg extension is a little wobbly but it's not a huge problem. You will run out of space to put on plates before the wobbliness ever becomes an issue. It only wobbles when using the front system; when lying back it stays still. I didn't buy it for leg extensions anyway, why would you worry about them when you have an awesome squat rack?
The squat rack is good, fairly sturdy, decent room to enter and exit and the highest notch is about right for my height (6 foot). The bench itself is decent. The backrest can wobble a little from side to side but I believe I can fix this just by tightening up a couple of screws a bit more. The first incline is good but steeper than that and you might struggle to get under the bar. I'm not sure why I would do bench presses at a steeper incline anyway. I might use them for flys so that isn't an issue. I didn't install the provided butterfly/pec deck device because I don't see the point unless you don't have dumbbells available.
The barbell supports are just the right spacing so I can have a normal or wide grip, or grip inside the supports for a narrow grip.
Conclusion: Very good value for money especially if you are mostly after a bench for presses, flys and squats. The front bit isn't the best so if you're after something for exercises like cable pulldowns, preacher curls or leg extensions, buy a different piece of kit.

This bench is really good value for the money. It was delivered in 4 days (to switzerland), in good shape with everything well labelled, clear instructions and all pieces included. It's pretty easy to put together, (90 minutes using proper tools). The guy with the negative review who took 'two days to put it together' must have thrown out the instructions, because while there are lots of bits to build, it gives very clear directions for each piece and every single part is numbered and drawn into the instructions.
The squat rack is fine for my height (5'9). For squats it's awesome as well as for bench press. Suggest you don't add the pec fly attachements, it interferes with the range of motion of pressing. The front bit is less stable that you'd like for leg extensions, but I was pleasantly surprised by the lat pull down bar. it folds up fine, but that doesnt'help to put away the bars and plate on it... I just leave it up unless it has to go away for a few days. Folding the device takes about two minutes after you unload all the weight on it. I guess the true measure of this and any product is the level of buyers remorse, post-purchase. In this case these is none. I would definately buy this again. I would have given it a 5 if the front end was a bit more stable.
