I spent about three quarters of an hour (alone) needed until I have assembled. Tools needed: 2 17er key (or I have a key and a ratchet (also called "ratchet" called) used as well as a 14er The construction went fairly easily, but the instructions could well be printed larger..
FYI: the image shown at Amazon and at the HP of Gorilla Sports shows an incorrectly installed PICTURE !!! On closer inspection you can see that is on the back of the upright a small dumbbell rack space that belongs but forward;)
Now after I had set up the bank, I had to try the same times: I tested with my body weight (80 kg) and again 55 kg barbell weight. Went without problems. It has geknarzt nothing, nothing yielded nothing geqietscht, wobbled nothing ... Perfect. Even the info: I'm 1.88 tall and I have to be no problems in the bank! (Was scared since some write with greater than 1.80 should not be ...)
The padding of the Bank is also just right. Not too hard, not too soft, does not give in, just as it should be.
Very practical at the same is really because you can fold up the bench as an ironing board and you can store so until the next workout.
To summarize: for benching in the living room is more than adequate, here you can really save a lot of money.
The "negative" points (and why that part did not receive 5 stars from me):
The ribbon with which you apparently can fix his legs at situps is more than unnecessary. Can fix reasonable to his legs so not really (possible that I'm too big for that) so you can therefore also not really make abdominal exercises. I decided just to cut off the tape, as I anyway did not intend to do with the bank abdominal exercises)
The "Dipsgriffe" I would not recommend to use. Here is just the Bank constantly in the way. I use the handles easy for the bank to clear away if I have folded.
Oh yes: because some write the Bank instinct, or the artificial leather smells disgusting: I can not confirm that. It smelled shortly after plastic as I unpacked the parts, but that vanished again.
Also missing screws or nuts with me. For me, everything was available.
Despite my enthusiasm for the bank I have an even anticipate: I imagined a significantly inferior product when purchasing and my expectations were more than exceeded, so I'm maybe so excited about it. Anyone expecting a studio bank for the money can be safely disappointed ...
I like you, I would recommend it to everyone :) :) You
