Hardcastle Flat Gym Bench

Arrived 5 days early, very sturdy bench, the metal base box frame is very solid, all screws fitted well and could be tightened to a great degree. Would have benefited from saying you will need two spanners to put together, one to hold the safety nuts the other to tighten the screws. The spanners needed were for M6 and M8 nuts. I did it with an old bike spanner and an adjustable spanner, took me 15 minutes from opening box to finish. Great bench, super sturdy, can't wait to get going on it with my weights.

It arrived on time, took me less than half an hour to assemble, it was very easy. The bench is very sturdy, does not wobble at all, but it is higher than other benches I has used in the past. I am 185cm tall and it suits me really well, better than the shorter ones, it seems easier for me to use leg drive using a taller bench. Also, it is narrower than previous benches i had used, and i was a bit skeptical about it at first, but now having tried it i can tell that seems easier to keep my shoulderblades pinched against a narrower bench. I am really happy with my purchase!

Got this in my garage/gym and it's study yet lightweight, so easy to move out the way. It's quite compact, I'mn 5'11" and it's about right for my height. Easy to put away.

The bench came as described; I knew beforehand that it was a few cms higher than my old bench, and I was surprised by how much impact the height-difference made in how some of my exercises felt ( - I'm short, and I now have to use a footrest for some of my exercises), but this problem is due to *me*, *not* the bench. The padded cushion is (only) 25cm wide, which is slightly less than my old bench.

Bench arrived a day earlier than expected. Very happy with it. No problems with assembly. Had it together in 10 minutes. Very sturdy and capable of heavy duty workouts. Well worth the money. Would highly recommend it

It's exactly as described, a strong comfortable low priced bench.

Does the job

Great for it's price
