A great bench
The Deltech bench is extremely sturdy and well designed.
The steel welds cushion and adjustable rack are all first-rate. Considering the expert craftsmanship that went into making this bench the low price is a pleasant surprise. It was promptly delivered without any damage and took less than 20 minutes to assemble. I couldn't be more satisfied with this purchase.

Good set of weights
This is a nice sturdy set of weights with good threading. Seems sort of cheesy to say as a set of weights had better be sturdy but you can tell there is some build quality with these. The paint is heavy looks to scratch instead of chip off which is good. The collar threads are nice and deep and the collars themselves are chunks of metal - they will never break and they fit nicely on the bars. You end up with 140lbs worth of plates with the rest of the weight taken up by the bars. Sometimes the collars can get a little loose on the freeweights when doing hammer curls but you're going to see that on any collar based set.
All in all this is a nice base set. 160lbs for ~$100 you can't really go wrong.

Gold's Gym exercise benchSo far I am pleased with the bench. I am a small woman (5'3" 116 lbs) and the bench is the right size for me. I would not recommend it for a much larger person as it doesn't seem sturdy enough for too much weight. For the price I would say it is a good buy.

Well-constructed and great valueThis is a very nice bench by any standards and as other reviews mention it was very easy to put together. The instructions are well-written the diagrams clear and the whole thing is well-engineered and heavy duty construction. The manual says it can hold a 300lb. person plus 300lbs. or weight and I don't doubt that at all. It is also very easy to adjust and doesn't have a lot of little parts. It took me about 50 minutes to assemble it and I went very slowly.
It is true that there are only four positions you can use on this bench but for most people that is plenty. Also it is a perfect product to use with a dumbbell workout. If you go this route I recommend either Pair of Personal PowerBlock Adjustable Dumbbells - 5-45 Pounds in 5 Pound Increments or PowerBlock SportBlock Dumbbell Set. These adjustable dumbbells are rugged less expensive than other brands and the safest that I know of.
Some other details about the bench... the material is a medium thick vinyl and mine came with a 1 inch tear. I did not consult customer support yet but I will update this review to reflect my experience of them when I do. I think a better material and padding would improve the product overall but at this price point I think it's plenty rugged.
If you get this bench you can eventually get a power rack that can be used with your bench and as a squat/deadlift rack. One that I like is Phys-x Half Rack 10418 but you there are others depending upon your needs.
If you are new (or old) to this type of training I recommend Build Muscle Lose Fat Look Great: Everything You Need to Know to Transform Your Body and Starting Strength. These are probably the ONLY two books most people will ever need on strength training building mass etc. They are BOTH dense with great information systematically laid out. I have other suggestions on my listmania lists check my profile if you are interested. I also reviewed most of the adjustable dumbells on available on here.
