Great bench at a great price!
With the current state of life with covid I decided to cancel my gym membership and create my own home gym. This bench was the last piece of the puzzle! I can say that for the price this weight bench is fantastic! You can do incline, decline and flat. The bench is super solid (about as solid as a bench you'll find at your gym). The bench also comes fully assembled aside from having to put together the legs and foot holder (super easy to do). Also its great to have a full size bench that gold's up for easy storage! I can't recommend this bench any more! It's fantastic!!

    Great addition to my cage.
    Im working on adding to my cage. This bench is perfect for mine. I can easily remove it as well. It's soft and the perfect size. I like the stability of it as well. it doesn't sway from side to side, even on carpet.

    Bench covered with mold and smells also
    Received today - strong mold smell and when opened - it is also covered with mold. Stay away. This is a health hazard.

    A good purchase and worth it.
    I read some of the reviews before I made the purchase. The unit is perfect for the price and functions as it should. There only 2 improvements (not costly) I would recommend. 1. Foot Bar-Adjust it outward a few inches away from the support leg. 2. Thicker padding on the Foot Bar and the Front Edge of the Seat. My easy fix was to cover both with some extra pool noodles I had for another project. Bottom line- it is easy to use, convenient and easy to store All contributing to more use.

    READ THIS BEFORE BUYING THE PROGEAR 1300
    So many glowing reviews I ordered. Just finished putting together my (PROGEAR 1300 Adjustable 12 Position Weight Bench with an Extended 800lb Weight Capacity and Leg Hold Down $99.99). Below are my top Pros and Cons. I've given this product One (*) Stars instead of five due to the offset (see below for details). If the offset were not there, I would have given this five stars for basically a very well constructed and strong bench for a moderate price. Thanks. PROS * The blessing of this bench is that it come practically fully assembled - just attach the leg supports with four bolts and screw on the leg stabilizer bar, and finito - super quick and the wrench is included. * Construction is rock solid and super strong. Should be a sturdy and long-lived bench. * Decent thickness of back and seat cushion. * Super quick delivery. The bench was delivered to my door three days after ordering. Nice! CONS * The leg stabilizer has a really thin coating of "cushion"... it's a bit uncomfortable on my shins. I'll probably wrap additional cushioning on this unless I grow accustomed to it. Several other benches I've seen are the same, so not too big a deal. * Welding on one additional back adjustment wouldn't have killed you, Progear! Lol. Back angle positions are straight up, decline, flat, and three angles. One more angle would have been ideal but it's fine. * Whoa! See my pics for how the back support of my unit is off center from the base. This kind of sucks if you're a stickler (and I am!). It's the back pivot joint that's welded crooked that caused this. As you can see, in the full decline position, it's so off, that only one of the two back bars rests on the support. That's shoddy quality. If I'd known this was the product I was getting, I certainly would not have placed an order. Having said that, I like the bench enough to reorder to see if this was a fluke. Do I have a crummy unit that slipped though due to Covid or something - Or are all Progear benches constructed this poorly? I don't know. If I'd have seen someone else post pics and mention this - I never would have bought this bench. You'll have to decide if you want to take a chance on ordering and getting a bench with an offset like this. CONCLUSION I like the heavy construction. I'll edit this review after I get my replacement bench to let you know if I got another bad one - or a good one. Thanks for reading.

    Its the bomb!!!
    What can I say it gets the job done, extremely sturdy just got it today, the thickness of the cushion might not be thick for some , as for me I feel safe and sturdy benching 300 while Im weighing at 180lbs, Ill definitely recommend this bench to any home gym enthusiast!

    Very nice weight bench
    This is a really nice weight bench. The instructions to put it together were well written. I did it myself in about 10 minutes. Everything was in the box and shipped without any problems. The bench is sturdy and is very stable. The bottom supports will not allow it to topple over like some of the gym equipment I have bought in the past. The welds on all the support pieces are done correctly and look like they will hold even with a bigger set of weights. The padding on the bench is not too soft nor too hard. The back of the bench adjusts easily. The leg hold down can be adjusted by screwing and unscrewing a large knob on the back side. There is a large cotter pin that will allow the bench to collapse flat for storage. I have been looking at weight benches for some time and was going to purchase one. This was given to me for my review but I tell you that I would have purchased this one anyway. It really suits my needs and will be a great addition to the equipment that I have already in my 'gym' room.

    Very Nice Weight Bench!!!
    This weight bench seems to be very well made and able to withstand plenty of heavy use. My husband was able to assemble it quickly and without any problems which is always a plus!! Now we just need to get some weights and we'll be all set. Recommend this product!

    Weight bench is good & solid feeling
    I chose this Progear 1300 weight bench because it looked solid enough and im a beginner at using weights so i didn't want anything too complicated for me & it was easy enough for me to set up alone. What i like about it is that the backrest has many inclined positions so i can lay back and do some arm curls for my upper chest & then do the sit-ups for my Abs while my legs are secure. Fantastic that it comes with wheels so i can store it someplace else out of the way cos i have very limited space!
