This is a solid quality bench. I put it together myself alone -well my two year kept taking parts and pieces and running off- the directions were easy to understand, the diagrams were good, the whole bench assembly process way easier than anything from ikea for sure. The base could be wider for more stability but at this pricepoint I am completely satisfied. The padding is adequate, the color is brown not the red in the product picture and as for the 'chemical smell', I am extremely sensitive to odors ie scented candles, incense, cleaners, plastics but I was not bothered by any smell from the bench. Very happy.
I am new to home fitness (well, in the spirit of full disclosure, I'm new to fitness in general - ha ha) and this is my first bench, so please take that into consideration when reading this.
The bench came quickly, a day or two before the estimated delivery time. It took a bit to assemble - you definitely need TWO wrenches (or socket sets) to assemble this bench, and about half an hour to 45 minutes. Still, nothing difficult, it's quite easy to assemble - just take your time.
Once assembled, it's really a nice product, for home use. It's sturdy, functional, comfortable, and attractive. It's not made like the heavy duty benches made of steel I-beams I find at the gym, but that's not what I need - and for the price, it's a bargain.
Contrary to what I've read in other reviews here, it's not too short for me - I'm 5'7", and I'm pretty sure it would be fine for folks several inches taller than me. Also, someone said that it was wobbly, due to the feet not being level. I have not found that to be the case at all, and besides, it has adjustable levelers on it's feet.
Also, the padded rollers that hold your legs down (I'm sure there's a name for them, but I don't know it) are quite handy for doing sit-ups, and several other exercises.
All in all, I feel that this was an excellent purchase. Good quality at a reasonable price. I'm quite happy with my "Cap Barbell Fitness FID Bench", and I'd recommend it.
