That's not accurate. I'm not a body builder by any stretch. I do however bench 225 in all 3 positions and this thing is sturdy. It can take a decent amount if weight. I have the leg and preacher attachment and they are nice as well. It's a really good bench for the price

I don't think it's flimsy. For the price I don't think you'll find something better. Only downfall for me is the decline position. I don't care for the decline. It's not gym quality but works well for home. Chest flys or bench presses causes no problems with stability. I guess if you're a heavy power lifter or something it may be in inadequate.

We have owned one of these for 1.5 years for our family. It is used by 3 of us about 5 times a week. I think is very decent quality. It may not be as sturdy as high end equipment you see on full featured gyms, but it is well made, solid and perfect for home use. We are deriving good benefit from having it.

The bench is pretty good for the price. It's not commercial gym grade by any means. . I bench 240 and use about 60-80 pounds on preacher curl at the gym. The bench can handle heavy weight but it does get a little wobbly. It takes a little extra weight control and form which can be good for the workout I guess. . Overall for price it's good. Not a bad deal.

I've been using this bench in my home gym training clients on it 6 days a week for the last 6 months and it's held up for me no problem. I've never experienced it being wobbly or flimsy

Not flimsy but poorly made.I've had mine for three months and its already starting to tear at the stitching.

True but its a horrible chair. All 4 of mine are wobbly, screws aren't long enough, I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

I believe that it is. If you purchase it from either seller, be prepared to replace the bench within the first 6 months.

I'd like to answer: 1) the bench (I've had mine two years) is sturdy. 2) I'm 77 (now) and I picked it up to assemble and to move around the patio. 3) It's solid and weighs as you would expect a sturdy, solid piece of out door furniture to weigh.Hope this answers your question in some way.

It's probably fir, but whatever it is, it's terrific. I gave it two coats of marine polyurethane and after 6 months outside it still looks like new.I haven't seen any bench of this size and quality for much less than $300, and I paid only $75. Also, easy to assemble.

All 4 of the legs I received are the same so they are interchangeable. The bench is not sturdy at all. Perhaps you did not receive correct legs?

My wife tells me no, it's not stable. It does not let it rest up against the bottom so it's wobbly.

My husband and I sit on it for a total of over 400 lbs. It's a sturdy bench, but of course, I can't promise that the concentrated weight of one person over 500 pounds would be safe. However, in assembling it, I noticed that the weight of the seat is resting ON the legs. It is not just screwed TO the legs, so you're not depending on the strength of screws to hold the weight. I would give it a try.

Hi Tim, this bar stool is not strong, I think any one over 160 lbs just don't buy it!

Not recommended. This furniture isn't rock solid build, wobble a lot, and only support light object on it. But you can give a try, very careful, of course.

The work bench is very stable (weighs close to 150 pounds). Would not wobble at all on the legs to use a reloading press, but the back board and whatever tools you have on it would shake a little bit probably. If you have it against a wall this would probably be minimal.

No, it's very poorly made. We opened one box, put the chair completely together (difficult, some things didn't align correctly), then noticed the wood was split in one of the arm rests. Attaching the back was very difficult because the bolts didn't 'bite' tightly; then first time sitting in it, the back came off. Returned all 4 chairs.

Mine isn't wobbly,it is nice and tight. I could barely connect the top with the bottom because they are so snug.

If I could redo buying a bench and rack I would have found a more sturdy bench, as I said previously this bench is always crooked and it gets very annoying. Spend the extra money for a better bench because in the long run it will be worth it.

As far as the stability, I haven't noticed a wobble. It' a good bench and have been very pleased with it. My fiancee' and I use it often and it affords a variety of uses. We have an Olympic set that is very compatible.

Yes, Just know the bench is a little wobbly. You'll need to buy new screws at Home Depot or Lowe's.

I purchased this chair as a vanity bench for my daughter about 18 months ago. She's been away at college most of this time and has hardly used it at all so it it has not been abused. The entire thing is lose and wobbly. Not very sturdy at all and would not recommend purchasing.
