2 of the screw holes were just slightly off. I had to grind the holes just a bit to get the scews through. Easy for me because I am a metalsmith and have the tools needed. Otherwise it seems to be very well constructed and sturdy. I am pleased with my purchase.

I have only had the bench for a couple weeks. So far I love it and can't wait to start seeing some results. The bench was very easy to assemble. Someone else mentioned in their review you really need an actual socket set to assemble. So glad I read the reviews first and was prepared. The only thing that confused me is the top screw that holds on the feet bar had nothing to screw into so my screw is just sitting there. Since there is a screw on each side of the feet bar it doesn't seem to matter that it doesn't screw in. I'm a 44 year old overweight female (200 lbs.) and it holds me. The bench is VERY durable. I would strongly advise anyone looking into this type of equipment to start with this machine before spending hundreds on the alternatives.

VERY SAFE.STABLE.EASY TO ASSEMBLE.THE BEST THING IS,THAT YOU CAN NOT JUST SLIDE IT UNDER THE BED AND FORGET ABOUT IT!! I WANTED SOMTHING THAT I HAD TO LOOK AT AND ANSWER,''WHY ARE YOU NOT USING IT??'' NO EXCUSES!! MOST EQUIPMENT,YOU CAN HIDE AND FORGET ABOUT..NOT THIS!!! IT IS PERFECT!!

I was impressed with the overall quality for the price. The components are strong, heavy duty, and assemble with precision. (everything lines up properly) The instructions are clear and complete, and even the assembly hardware (nuts and bolts) are organized and labeled. Highly recommend

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!

This is the only piece of exercise equipment that helps the bulging disks in my back. I hang from it and it takes the pressure off. Tilt tables are too extreme, give me a headache. I have really strenghtened my back and abdominal muscles doing both back raises and situps on this machine.

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.

This Roman Chair is a great piece of equipment for strengthening 'the core'! I truly wish I'd gotten it much sooner. I utilized this same (type) of equipment many, many times in several different gyms during the 30 yrs. or so that I consistently 'worked out'. I am 60 years old now and don't work out with the fervor and vigor I once did-but I have never ceased working out altogether. My focus has changed, as have my needs-now that I am a 60 year old woman. :) I certainly consider strengthening my core very important at this stage of my life. I'm the caregiver of my elderly mother, who has been living with us for going on 3 yrs. now. Because of that, I do a lot of lifting! After a lifetime of weight lifting my arms and legs are still quite strong for a woman if my age... but I really need to keep my core strong for my own safety as well as my mothers. This piece if equipment is ideal for that. I enjoy using it...I always did before & I am very grateful that I still do! I would recommend it to anyone of any age or gender. Keeping our core strong is advisable for ALL people.

Its the best 70 dollars I have ever spent!!! Excellent addition to my home gym. I use this Roman Chair every morning, and have absolutely no complaints. I am 6'2" 227lbs... And it works great for me. Very sturdy, well built, its simply an amazing peice of equipment for the cost.

This is a great Roman chair bench for the price. Very sturdy and well built with heavy duty parts, but still light enough to move around easy. I weigh around 205 lbs. I feel it might not be stable for someone who weighs much more than that. It might want to tip over.
