Wow!
4 out of 5 because I only just assembled today and do not yet know about wear and tear over time.This bench is sturdy. Solid. No movement at all while I was testing it out. Clear simple instructions. All hardware is correct and easy to figure that out(use the wrench!) 🔧Im sure this is common sense-But I messed up right at the beginning with the wrench—make sure the smooth side of the wrench is facing the metal frame while tightening; I scratched the metal with the first two screws because I had the rough side of wrench on the metal(luckily can’t be seen cuz it’s on underside). I learned from my mistake.Great quality! I recommend this bench.👍Decided to change to 5 stars and will edit if something goes wrong. This is a good product.AND it was packaged perfectly in a sturdy box as well!

Solid little bench!
Fitness Coach here. Ive owned many benches over the years. I literally only got this because I wanted a cheap bench for one single exercise: Bulgarian Split Squats because the pad is rectangular and the shape is straight and uniform. It’s always annoying using a bench with an angular back pad for split squats. The distance between your front foot and the bench changes when you switch sides. Enough on that. I wasn’t expecting much quality for under $50, but holy crap! This thing is solid! ZERO wobble, very decent quality. I’ve had way worse benches that cost more. No, it’s not a REP or a Rogue or a commercial bench, but I seriously dare you to find a better flat bench for cheaper. Shorter than most adjustable benches, which I prefer. Easy to move around. Assembly was a 5 minute breeze. If you need a solid little bench for a fair price point, buy this!

Solid light duty bench with minor assembly issues
I just put this bench together for some home workouts while we are all on lockdown. It’s fine for that purpose, but I’m a intermediate lifter so the 385lb is right at my max for my typical workout. It certainly should get me through these tough times, but if you are an advanced luxury, this is too lightweight for you.The bench is simple to set up—just blow off the sheet metal multi-tool and grab a Philips and a decent socket wrench and you can get it assembled in 5 minutes. Mine didn’t come with instructions for setup (this listing had a link for them instead) and a lot of the packaging had loosened to the point that half of the hardware was rattling around the box. However, everything was ultimately there and undamaged, and anyone with half a brain could set this up without the instructions anyway.With that said, the bench comes with flush mounting flat-head bolts for the feet, which is not the correct hardware for this application. Due to the design, the bolts can’t be flush-mounted, which leaves them 1/8 inch short to fully activate the locking nuts. It doesn’t compromise the functionality, but these will loosen up faster because of the lack of length.Even with the short bolts, the bench feels rock solid. I’m guessing that the 385 weight limit is due to the wood backing to the top of the bench—it keeps it lightweight and cheap, but the trade is long term durability and capacity.Overall, I’m happy with it, but I’m dropping a star for the lack of instructions, packaging issues, and wrong hardware choice.

Solid Budget Weight Bench, but not for very tall people
Pretty solid weight bench for home gym. It’s sturdy, comfortable, and gets the job done. They provide you all the tools you need to set it up, and the assembly is quite simple.The only con though is that if you are much taller than the average American male, you might not be able to use this for bench pressing, because your body might not fit on it.

Sturdy Bench/Good Height/Well-Made
I do dumbbell workouts at home; and the construction and dimensions of this bench are perfect. I’ll explain: the height of the bench from floor to top of seat is 18 3/8″; when I sit on the bench the height is about an inch less given the seat’s cushioning; the bench rests flat, no wobble, on my carpeted floor (this is not true of all benches). The construction is rock solid. I had a bench that cost about $110 and although well made, the seat was only 16″ from floor to top of the seat and about an inch less when I sat on it. Sitting on the bench and getting off the bench was hard on my knees. But this Amazon Basics Bench is the ‘right’ height for working out. It’s a great height for dips and cross-bench pullovers, too. Steel used in making this bench is of sufficient gauge to support weights and an adult male; and the components are accurately cut and welded.I saw where one reviewer commented about the vinyl pad not holding up. Well, if the pad’s stitching/trim comes undone, I’d rather have it repaired or do it myself–the bench is that good. And the guy who commented on the bench seat may be an anomaly. I workout with my bench on the days on not doing standing exercises. So at least three days a week it’s part of my workout. Regardless, this bench was 100% or of the box; and all parts, including bolts/washers/nuts, were on board.If Amazon wanted to improve the hardware, I’d suggest replacing the Phillips head bolts with stove or carriage bolts; and in place of the round holes at the base of the legs, punch a square opening to match the inner collar on the stove/carriage bolts, which prevents the head of the bolt from turning when the not is tightened. For me, this is a five-star bench for my at-home, dumbbell workouts.AmazonBasics Flat Weight Bench is an absolute bargain at $50.April 23, 2019: Three months into…this bench and I’m really pleased with it. The padding and the vinyl are as they were when I bough the bench. I use this six days a week: bench presses, flies, cross-bench pullovers, and dips. And I never place my weights on the bench, always on the floor or a makeshift table I have. I still find the height good for me. Also, the bench is perfectly stable when doing cross-bench pullovers, an exercise when other inexpensive benches can rock back-and-forth when getting into position; and it’s as stable when doing the other bench work I do. I don’t see any shortcomings after three months use. This is, from what I’ve learned while looking at other benches and from what I continue to see in places like the few sporting goods stores still around, an exceptional buy at 50 bucks.December 28, 2019After nearly a year’s use, this bench continues to perform. No breaks on the vinyl cover, stitching is as new–the bench looks as it did the day I brought it home. I’ll check the lock nuts on the foot bars and, if necessary, I’ll give them a little clockwise snug. I move the bench whenever I do a workout; and the lock nuts have loosened over the course of a year. I took out a 17mm socket for the foot-bar nuts, and 14mm for the seat nuts, now the entire bench is tight. Using a product like lock tight would have kept the nuts from loosening.July 03, 2021 –Bought a second benchI gave my bench to a friend and waited for Amazon to restock so I could reorder another–and I’m not parting with this one! It came in today and although I was concerned if it would be the same quality, I’m pleased to say it is the same quality re materials, for, and finish. The new bench is its predecessor come full circle.Final word: it’s the perfect component for a home gym. Note: the bench’s weight limit is 385 pounds according to the enclosed literature.

Llegó en muy buen estado. Es realmente estable. Yo peso 108 kilos y me sorprendió su estabilidad. Con mis pies tocando el suelo ya son menos de 108 kilos, pero mi barbell para bench press es de 50 kilos así es de que soporta fácilmente más de 120 kg sin dificultad. Solo un detalle, yo mido 1.85 y tengo que decir que apenas puedo recargar una parte de mi cabeza (si me acomodo bien) pero la mayoría de las veces mi cabeza sale del banco. No es un gran problema porque las reps no duran mucho, pero te lo comparto por si mides más de 1.85 este banco estaría corto para ti ya que la cabeza pueda estar fuera del banco, pero la espalda definitivamente NO ya que es tu principal apoyo para bench press. Claro, que te pudiera servir para otro tipo de ejercicios. Trae herramienta y material para su ensamblado (no necesitas nada más).Así es de que si mides 185 o menos es excelente no solo para bench press, sino para todos los ejercicios posibles con este fuerte y estable banco.

The picture they show has the screws showing on the top, so you think it is screwed together and question the sturdiness when in fact it is bolted together, it was assembled wrong in the picture the Nylon lock nuts go on the top. That was my only concern when I purchased it. It is bolted together, and it is extremely sturdy. You just can’t beat the quality for this price. Anything extra you pay for a different bench is purely for aesthetics and brand name. It doesn’t get any sturdier than the Amazon Basics bench. I like the no logo black finish.
