I bought this bench maybe 9 months ago,it wasnt too tough to build(took me a couple hours I think),I wanted a bench that would fold up so I could put it away when I was done,its got a weight limit of 200kg(including user)which is better than the 150kg you will find on alot of benches.I think you want a minimum of 200kg(however I've heard benches are tested to withstand more than double their suggested maximum before showing signs of fatigue),The leg extension has a 30kg limit which is alright but you will probably out grow as I have.
Mine has started to wobble abit,since it only has one support at the front as alot of benches do.When I use it outside I'm sometimes not on the most even of ground(like a sloping drive way) and it has tryed to tip over when I've been doing leg curls(my fault for putting it on grass).
over than the front end become slightly wobbly when you have 30kg on the end,its a sturdy bench.Perfect for bench pressing(obviously)and other exercises,I've bench pressed over 100kg on this bench without a creak from it(well maybe a little one).
It folds up very quickly you just have to undo a couple of bolts and put the bar through the back to hold it up(the first times I didnt do which caused it to fall over by itself later on) which all in all takes about 30 seconds and you're done.For the money you can't knock it.

I just bought this item today and to be honest its very good for the price! It only took about an hour to fully build. Also this product is very sturdy and can support a fair bit of weight without feeling like its going to collapse :). This is a great bench for beginners or someone that doesn't have much space as you can fold it away within 30 seconds. There is only one bad thing about this product and that is that when you are sitting on the bench the barbell is right in front of your face when the backrest is at its lowest. When you higher the backrest the bar is touching your nose and mouth which is not very nice :(. However, overall this item is very good for the price and does the job well.
I reccomend this bench for all ages and sizes.

The main problem with this bench is that it's unsafe without a spotter. If you're using it for dumbbells it's fine. The fold away design is good and it seems like an alright build quality. I just can't understand why it's designed so strangely, it could have longer or adjustable arms and still fold away nicely. It's just a flawed design. Buy it to save space, but it's not for someone doing serious barbell exercises.
FYI the 1star reviews are being extremely harsh, but not dishonest.
