The cushions on the bench and on the leg attachment feel very solid and well-made. The adjustabiliy of the bench is very convenient and my young daughter has no problem reconfiguring it.

All-in-all I am very impressed with both products.

The bench is very adjustable and made up of good quality components – thick sheet metal tubes, solid fasteners, comfortable padding. It is definitely solid and can clearly handle a lot of weight, but the bench is a little wobbly side to side due to the play in the pivot points in the frame. But in practice it really isn’t bad, I don’t even notice it when my weight is on the bench and I’m doing presses or any of the exercises that I do.

Assembly instructions are just diagrams, and to do it right, you’ll need to spend a few minutes matching up the fasteners with the numbers in the legend. It’s not difficult, just don’t skip this step and jump right into putting it together. If you’re used to working on cars and reading factory service manuals, it’s really easy. Took me about 15 minutes.

This bench combined with the power rack makes for a versatile home gym. You can use them together for presses, or move the bench out to do squats in the rack, or use the bench by itself for lots of exercises. Much better than a fixed rack/bench combo.

In addition to the incline adjustments on the seat and back pads, the base of the frame has an adjustment with two positions that moves the whole bench forward or rearward. This is for use in the rack, where you use the forward position with the bench flat or declined for normal bench press, or the rearward position with the bench inclined for shoulder/military press. The bench needs to be in the forward position to be stable for normal flat bench press. If you don’t put the frame in the rearward position for military press, you won’t be able to move the bench far enough back in the rack to reach the bar (too far behind your head).

Pros: Adjustable, comfortable, and seems like it will hold up.

Cons:

1. The product I received is different than the product pictured on Amazon. Check Powertec’s website. Powertec should have different models for their Utility benches. So far, I can find three distinctly different models of their P-UB bench (the one I got, the one pictured on Amazon, and the non-decline model).

2. The was some minor damage in shipping (a.) small tear in seat pad, b.) scratched frame)

3. The side handles (presumably for leg exercises) get in the way, but they are apparently optional.

4. The installation instructions are lacking. The assembly photos were “okay” – enough for me to follow but I could see were other people would have problems.

5. Usage instructions are non-existent. Completely. Why does the base of the bench have two positions? Should I always screw in the pin lock when using the bench? Is it okay to tighten the pre-assembled bolts to get rid of some of the wobble?

Overall, I do see myself using the bench without problems, but I am dissapointed in several aspects.

What I found: the board under the belt had expanded and evertime I steped a very loud creak.

What I did: I removed the stick on trim creaking side (Mine right side) I used a skill saw to trim the board so it would not rub on the side frame.

Now, no creaks, works great, Love this treadmill..

Pros: Inexpensive, compact/light, simple, great workout for walking, easy set-up.

Cons: The bed creaks a bit while walking, so I have to turn up audio system pretty loud. The belt takes some adjusting to get and keep it centered and I find that when I move the treadmill, the belt often has to be re-centered. This is probably due to the very simple centering system and the fact that minor level changes in the floor will impact belt centering. You also need to keep your hands on the handles which will make reading somewhat difficult.
