Marcy Utility Bench

This is just what I wanted. I know that there is a total 300 pound weight limit but since I weigh 160 pounds that leaves me with 140 pounds to work with (which is 70 pound dumbbell in each hand). I am a long way from that point. There is no attachment at the bottom which I never used on my previous bench and just got in the way. With that stupid thing out of the way, the bench surface is longer so even in the incline position, my head still rests on the bench (I am 6 feet 1 inch). Some commenters on other benches have complained that the seat cushion and the back cushion are separated. That is the case with this bench as well. Ironically I like that feature! On my previous bench without the gap, when I finished dumbbell bench presses, I would struggle to get off of the bench. With the gap, and my backside in the gap, it somehow makes it easier to sit up. (I push the dumbbells forward for momentum to get off the bench but somehow the gap makes it easier to sit up). It is very easy to adjust the incline. Having said all the good stuff, I would mention that it is difficult to assemble. Not that this is mechanically complex, it is that whoever wrote the instructions was a retard. The parts list said there was 9 washers but only 2 were provided but luckily only 2 were needed. That should have prepared me. There were some instructions that were physically impossible to do. Put this into that (the parts would be next to each other connected by an axle but the parts could never be inserted into each other). Each time you encounter nonsense you should always refer to the picture and hold the parts to see how they fit. There are only so many possible combinations to assemble the parts. When you encounter nonsense, it will be for a single step. Most of it is okay. One thing that happened is that 2 holes would not line up and I could not get a bolt into them. I bought a rat tail file, widened the hole, and it assembled ok. I think the reason the holes did not line up is because they really beefed up a weld and the bracket would not slide all the way down because of big weld. It took longer to assemble than I expected but I am not sure how long it took since I had to go get a file.
