Great bench for the money....

Just got into weight lifting using free weights and this bench meets all of my needs. Only took a couple of hours to assemble by myself. Like the reverse squat-in feature. There is a little wobbling when lying flat on the bench but other than that, no complaints.

I bought this weight bench 11 years ago from academy sports and used the heck out of it! Its a GREAT investment for beginners and avid lifters alike.! Its incredibly sturdy and durable. I bought it in 2007 because i wanted to pack on a lot of muscle. I still use it when i dont feel like going to gym. After 11 years of use, only the seat and adjustable cross bar are in need of being replaced. Which is why im buyimg a NEW one and selling the old.

Assembly comments

The bench took me about two hours to assemble without help using a socket with a ratchet handle, two Allen keys with a ratchet handle, Phillips screwdriver, small hammer, the very good instruction sheets, box cutter and very good small parts blister pack. The ratchets speed up the assembly dramatically. A dead blow hammer would have been helpful to mount the foam roller end caps and the curling station handle pin. The two pins use to secure the bar rests at the squat stations are of poor quality and need to be check frequently to make sure they have not walked out during use. Also, the pin for the curl station required a hammer to install and will be very difficult to remove when removing the curling handles for different setups. Four washers were missing and an Olympic sleeve was cracked. The washers were easy to source locally. A call to Marcy customer service and the Olympic sleeve is on the way. I may look into locally sourcing some better pins for the squat station and the curling handles. Overall, I think that the bench will prove to be very good for a home gym.

Good for the money

This is a decent bench for the money. The leg pads are the cheap firm foam and a bit uncomfortable. The seat is pretty wobbly. Other than that, it's sturdier/beefier than I expected.

Awesome

For legs, bis, pecs, abs this machine is hard to top. Assembly is easy, probably 45 minutes with one person. Now I just need to use it often because it will not help as a clothes rack!

Quality/service

Product showed up to store on time. Store pick up left little to be desired. I put entire bench together in about 1 hour 45 mins. Very nice unit and well worth what I paid. Could not even come close to quality versus cost at Play it Again.

Marcy Olympic Weight Bench MD-857

Well constructed bench, great attention to detail on the design as well as manufacturing. Packaging protected the product very well. Simple instructions with all hardware easily laid out for the user to see in the assembly instructions.

good bench, good price

Works fine especially for the price and $5 shipping. I like the long uprights...safer than some of the cheaper models. My package was missing one of the squat catches. I called the 800 number and they sent a replacement within 5 days.

Marcy Olympic Weight Bench MD-857

For the price its a good and sturdy unit. However, after using for a few weeks I think it would be more useful to have a separate weight bench and squat rack. Unfortunately that model was not available at time of my purchase.

Solid Weight Bench

Bought for my 14 year old son, who said he wanted to work out. Like the versatility. Good bench - no issues. Now if it could help him to follow through on his commitment to work out...
