Great item for a great price!!

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.

Not bad for Price

I bought this item after starting crossfit. I wanted a roman chair but did not want to spend a lot of money in case I decided crossfit was not for me. After searching the internet I found this to be the best value with the best ratings. It is a solid piece of equipment but must be weighed down if you decide to do glute/hams with weight. Its great and well padded for back extensions but the dip bars seem to be too far apart and the padding gets in the way. To do glute/ham situps it is extremely hard for my 5 feet , but I am hoping as the padding goes down and after a while of use that wont be much of a problem. Overall not a bad product for the price if you are buying it for the back extension/glute/ham workout.

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, great price

Does what it's supposed to do and seems very sturdy (I'm 170 lbs). Minor cons: seat is pretty hard; no slot in seat so situps are fine, but for back extentions a guy may have to do some "product placement" to be comfortable; rollers have a synthetic stink. I was worried the seat angle would be a problem, but it's not.

Not for short people!

This product was really easy to put together but was wobbly once assembled. It was fairly stable once you got up on it, but I'm 5'4", and I literally had to get a step stool to stand on just to get my waist onto the padded part to do extensions, as the seat does not adjust in height.

Roman Chair/Hyperextension Bench

This product is very solid and and the best deal I've found for a hyperextension bench. I was a little concerned with the quality before purchasing since I weigh 235 lbs. but this bench has no problem supporting me. There were a few missing pieces but (washers and bolts) I contacted the distributor and they sent them out within a week.

Great product for the money

Delivery was much quicker than indicated when ordering, assembly was relatively easy, and the item is much sturdier than expected. My only complaint is the lack of any usage instructions. While I have experimented with the various settings to find a comfortable way to exercise, I feel like I may not be getting the most out of this piece of equipment. Otherwise, I feel like this item is a great deal for the price.

Great piece of equipment

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.
