Awkward to use.

I'm 5'9" and find to awkward to use. My calves hit the foam pads which kind of hurts. It's also very hard to get on. It can be adjusted a few inches, but doesn't make much of a difference. I wish I would have purchased the one with the angled metal plate that sits on the floor.

Ok product

Ok product, although I wish quality control could be a little better. Assembling the chair was straight forward. It is sturdy and well balanced. During the assembly process, I discovered that the holes where I must attach the seat to the support beam were not aligned correctly. Also, the holes were too small! The screws did not fit. I had to redrill. It took longer than expected because of the alignment issue. The length and width of this chair fit me very well. I'm only 5'8 and have no issue with it. Overall, I'm satisfied with this product. The price is cheaper at Walmart than other retailers. Surprisingly, it is not that heavy to move around.

sturdy enough to serve it's purpose properly

based on what is available in the market I feel that this is a pretty solid product for the money . I weigh 230 pounds I have no problems using this piece of equipment for back extensions . you can also slide the foot hold down and use it for crunche, but I prefer using an exercise ball, it's easier on your back . assembly was straight forward and easy .

Fantastic for the abs

This bench does what it is supposed to do and does it without compromise. At 6' 2" and 255 lbs, I don't pretend to be gentle with fitness equipment. Cheap junk will become obvious to me quickly. This bench was easy to assemble and handles me well enough to allow me to feel safe when leaning back.

Great piece of equipment!

I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer and I bought this Roman Chair for my private training facility. I am very pleased with the quality and functionality of it. Assembly was a breeze and only took about 30 minutes. I searched for a Roman Chair on over 20 different websites and I am glad I decided to get this one. Great piece of equipment at a very affordable price!

100% Junk

Cheap made. One of the arms broke off sending me to the floor. I was just using it as I was getting on the machine not putting that much pressure on it. I am 5'8 and weigh 200 lbs. It wobbles some. The value of the machine should be around the fifty dollar range and the weight limit should be set at a maximum of 150lbs. Just more Chinese quality for American bucks. Very sad.

Perfect for home gym

Have used my Roman Chair for a few weeks now and am very satisfied. It's stable and comfortable while still lightweight enough to move around in my small weight room. My only criticism would be the pad. I have a high end adjustable bench and the difference in the pads are noticeable. For $65 though I would say it's good enough. We'll see how it holds up. This is an incredible value, since others are over $100.

Great for the price

This item is great for the price. The finish and appearance is better than in the pictures. Some people may say the foam is not padded too well but I think it is adequate for a 6'1" 210lb guy. The foam rollers are also very good and soft, easy on my legs. I wish I could adjust the leg rollers higher but it is fine at the top, if it went higher it might be difficult to get off. As it is, it seems easy to get on and off, but I am in good shape. This roman chair works my back out good, and it feels better after I have been using it. The price can't be beat.

Great value, Great Price

I bought this because I wanted to be able to do the back extension at home. This is the cheapest one I could find anywhere and it is a great overall value. The padding is a little lacking but really that is the only problem I have with this. I can do exactly what I want with this unit and really cant complain about anything. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to do sit ups and back extensions for a great price! Do site to store and you don't even have to pay for shipping! Great overall value!

It's OK for the price

It's a little cheaply made. Given the price I didn't expect too much. The lower base is only 3 sided so not as strong. If you tighten the bolts too hard it will crush the side in. The pad is generous and soft but for men it could be a little uncomfortable. The leg pads are large with thick foam with good adjustability. However the front strut is a little short so taller people might butt their head if they go down too low. I think this was designed more for women.
