Summary: Did not (fully) meet expectations
Comment: This is not a cheap bench, so I was expecting greatness. Now I feel a little let down.
Pros: Adjustable, comfortable, and seems like it will hold up.
Cons:
1. The product I received is different than the product pictured on Amazon. Check Powertec's website. Powertec should have different models for their Utility benches. So far, I can find three distinctly different models of their P-UB bench (the one I got, the one pictured on Amazon, and the non-decline model).
2. The was some minor damage in shipping (a.) small tear in seat pad, b.) scratched frame)
3. The side handles (presumably for leg exercises) get in the way, but they are apparently optional.
4. The installation instructions are lacking. The assembly photos were "okay" - enough for me to follow but I could see were other people would have problems.
5. Usage instructions are non-existent. Completely. Why does the base of the bench have two positions? Should I always screw in the pin lock when using the bench? Is it okay to tighten the pre-assembled bolts to get rid of some of the wobble?
Overall, I do see myself using the bench without problems, but I am dissapointed in several aspects.

Summary: Great, solidly-made bench
Comment: I received both the Powertec P-UB bench and the optional leg extension attachment as birthday gifts last month (I specifically asked for both) and really like them. They are both very well made and not particularly hard to put together.
The cushions on the bench and on the leg attachment feel very solid and well-made. The adjustabiliy of the bench is very convenient and my young daughter has no problem reconfiguring it.
All-in-all I am very impressed with both products.

Summary: excellent bench
Comment: Solid upholstery, good construction. Should last a lifetime if used for home. Was exactly what I wanted for my home. Has spring loaded pull pins for fast adjustment and the option to screw them down so my kids can't pull them.

Summary: Very nice heavy duty workout bech
Comment: I bought this from Amazon for $164 (with free shipping!) and it was a great investment. I was looking for the Bowflex SelectTech 3.1 bench to match my Bowflex dumbells, but after finding out it only had 3 incline positions I felt it was not a good deal for $150. The Powertech utility bench on the other hand, takes up less space and has more incline positions. The Powertech bench looks sleek and is very comparable to benches you see at the gym. The steel frame looks heavy duty and it should last a very long time.
