I purchased this bench 7 months ago and have been very happy with it. It's sturdy, and meets my benching needs (I rep with 225 lbs). In addition, I use it to brace myself when doing dumbbell rows and the leg extension is a nice plus. It's true that the leg attachment is sized for standard weights; however, for around $10 you can buy the Olympic adaptor which works great. My only complaint would be that screwing in the leg attachment can be a little bit of a pain. Unlike most benches, it does not have screw "pop in" functionality. Although this bench isn't quite gym quality, it's as close to it as you're gonna get for the price.

This bench is a disappointment. The post for adding weight to the leg station is 1", not the 2" as shown. I negotiated a $50 discount with Amazon to fix that. Also, one of the barbell standards is bent slightly which causes the adjustable post within to bind. I'm going to have to fix that too, by bending the post to match. I expect new products to work out of the box. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this product.
