Summary: Empower
Comment: I ordered this item thinking that it would be the perfect bench to easily use and store away. It is also inexpensive compared to others I looked at. I like it because it suits me considering I'm petite -I would not recommend it to anyone tall or heavyset - and it's lightweight so I can move and fold it without a hassle. However, it's difficult to do certain exercises on it particularly if you have to lie down. My biggest pet peeve is that it came unassembled despite what the ad states. Apparently some people didn't have to deal with assembly, but I did and it took hours to do. The instructions are crude pictographs and I had to improvise in areas. Fortunately for me it hasn't collapsed and I've used it several times already. Overall it was a good purchase to start - further along I will probably upgrade to a different bench.

Summary: Excellent weight bench!
Comment: This weight bench was perfect for my light to moderate dumb bell workouts. Its light weight and the folding feature allows me to keep it out of the way when not in use. Even my wife was impressed with the esthetics. However, the three settings may not be enough for the serious body builder types, but they are ample for us older folks who are just trying to keep fit. Also, good price and free shipping as an Amazon Prime member.

Summary: Danskin Weight Bench
Comment: This little bench is perfect for women, but men can use it too! The price is reasonable and it is attractive, sturdy and easy to assemble. I own 2 now and love them both.

Summary: its okay
Comment: Its okay. Too small and too expensive for the price! Also, you need to assemble, it doesn't come pre-built.

Summary: Fully Assembled? I Think Not.....
Comment: One of the selling points of this weight bench was that it came fully assembled, but when I saw the box waiting on the porch for me I had a sinking feeling that this was not true. Sure enough, when I opened the box it was in pieces with assembly instructions included. It wasn't hard to assemble, but it would have been nice to know in advance so I could take that into account when comparing the different benches in my price range. Also, it is a bit on the small side as mentioned in other reviews. It doesn't take up much room, though, and does fold up nicely to stow away. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

Manufacturer's Warranty
Ten-year warranty on frame and welds, three-year warranty on pulleys and parts, one-year warranty on upholstered cushions About Utility Benches
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, free weight lifting continues to be a popular option for home strength training. Free weights offer a special benefit in strength training because they promote quicker strength gains and require more balance and coordination. Free weights also work a larger number of muscles than resistance machines, which tend to focus on isolated muscles. However, free weights must be used properly or injury is more likely to occur. A utility bench helps manage free weight routines. Specially designed, adjustable pads, grips, and bars help limit and guide movements to minimize the possibility of muscle or joint damage. Plus, from a single utility bench, a vast number of exercises can be performed. Whether you want to focus on your abdomen, arms, chest, or any other muscle group, a utility bench can help you maximize your strength training goals while minimizing your risk of personal injury.
