FLYBIRD Flat Bench, Foldable Flat Weight Bench Easy Assembly for Strength Training Bench Press, 600/1000 LBS 2 Versions

Basic bench that can not be beat!
Very well constructed of quality materials, more than ample padding, easy to set up and take down when done, very stable during use – no wobbling (I use mine on carpeting), costs less than a bench I purchased in the 1970’s and is far better! No negatives so far – in use 3 months.

decent bench little pricey
the bench is decent. its serves the purpose that i bought it for in that the legs quickly and easily fold in and out for easy storage. i pull the bench out when i want to use it and put it back in the closet when im done as i dont have a dedicated space for equipment.there are no complications and its fairly simple in design. the bench feels sturdy and im sure it will last a long time.while i like the bench fine, i feel like it is a bit overpriced for what i paid for it at the time. i find the cheap graphic printed on the bench to be aesthetically cheesy and dumb. exercise equipment in general is quite pricey these days and this is no exception.i bought this for the storage capability. if id had dedicated space i would have paid a little more for something better quality. be that as it may, the bench is still fine and i like it and it will work for me for a while.

Get the newer version!
Perfect bench. Ridiculous value. Firm, stable, comfortable and made of quality materials.Don’t bother ordering the older cheaper model that requires bolts and nuts to assemble. The newer one in the photo comes preassembled. All you need to do is remove the 2 lock pins (pictured), lower the legs, and reinsert pins.What is NOT shown in the instructions, and must be a new design revision, is 2 bolts with plastic gear handles (pictured) need to be removed before lowering the legs and need to be removed and reinserted once the legs are lowered. It seems FlyBird wants you to be double covered from any bench instability. It seems like overkill but better safe than injured.I purchased this bench at $88.99 which makes it in a class by itself for a durable, affordable and storable weight bench. I’m sure if you’re looking for a super heavy duty bench that will support huge weight it may not be the best fit. But if you’re like me and use this with sub-100 pound dumbbells and bodyweight work, I think you’ll be more than pleased.

Unnecessary Steps
I have a small gym, so I wanted a foldable bench. I am in the gym everyday doing everything from yoga to lifting weights. The configuration of the room changes depending on what I am doing, so the bench gets setup and taken down daily.I bought the Flybird because it was highly rated and a little cheaper than others. It is pretty decently constructed and works well. The reason I am giving it only three stars is the manufacturer did not really think out the folding process. There are two pins that need to be removed when folding or setting up the bench….pretty straight forward. My issue is with the knobs on each end of the bench that are used to lock the legs in place. Unfortunately, the manufacturer made the threaded part about half an inch short. Because of this, you have to take the knobs all the way out when breaking down the bench. That’s two extra steps that would not be needed if the things were longer. If the were longer you could simply back the things out until you could fold the legs down.Sound sort of nitpicky…..did I mention I put the thing up and take it down everyday? For me, having to remove and install four items during the setup/breakdown process is unsatisfactory.
