Item perfored as described.Didn't much care for the one page directions but wasn't to hard to figure out.
I'm 5'10" and didnt have a problem fitting into it. It has a monster of a slant.I had to set it at it's
most level setting to get any situps done.The slant is perfect for poeple just starting out as it gives a pretty high incline.
So,it can adjust as you get better.It would even give a challange to someone already in good physical condition and are used to sit ups.
I would recommend it for poeple at all stages of fitness.

6'0" 285lbs.
Packaged arrived quickly. Unit appears well built except for end caps on leg bars.
They just do not seem to want to stay inserted into the ends of the leg bars.
I will have to use a glue to keep them seated.
Assembly was a snap. Found it easier just to look at the photograph and
work with that. All, not just these, instructions suck.
First time I tried to fit my feet under the lowest foot bar I had to work my
size 13 feet in the sides by pointing my toes down, wiggling my ankles back and
forth. When I tried to then lay down I found the stress on my back was huge.
I had to stretch, grab bench back board and ease myself down and this was at
the highest level. Forget the highest incline, I'd never make it in my
current shape. I found by putting my toes under the highest bar and
bending my knees such as using at bed frame or heavy chair, I could do
scrunches (Spelling) and modified full sit ups. Board is not long
enough at this position for flat leg sit ups.Using it this way I might
as well be laying on the carpet and use the bed frame. Heck of lot more
room to work out. As I progress and can actually manage a couple of dozen
true "hands behind the neck, bent knee sit ups" I expect using the
lower foot bars and having the unit on a steeper incline will become
easier and possible. Don't know what to tell anyone buying this particular unit.
I neither wish to tell you this make is great nor tell you not to
waste your time. I only wish to inform you of what I found and what
I expect I'll have to do to get a return out of my dollar.

This bench is solidly constructed and is just what I expected from the other customer reviews. It has good features. The seat is long enough for me (I'm slightly over six feet). The bench can effortlessly be adjusted from horizontal to one of several declines. One reviewer says the maximum decline is 15 degrees; I would say that's about right, but that is satisfactory for my sit-ups. I am not able to make this bench wobble.
Assembly:
There are not step-by-step assembly instructions. Instead, there is a drawing of an exploded view showing how the parts fit together. I am guessing this will work for most people, since the structure is not too complex. I think I read a review somewhere that was unaware how the bench is supposed to fold nearly flat. It is probably apparent what to do with the back leg, but if you are unfamiliar with this kind of bench, here is what happens with the front leg (where the pads are). When in use, the seat bar slides all the way into the bracket of the front leg. To collapse the front leg, remove its pin and slide the seat bar back as far as it will slide. The front leg can then rotate toward the seat.
There is some question among reviewers as to whether the thick part of the seat should be at the front, toward the pads, or at the back of the bench. This is because the photographs all show it at the back, and the assembly drawing and container show it at the front. While a reviewer on another site said the thick part at the front provides good support for the legs during sit-ups, I prefer to use the thick part at the rear of the bench, as a headrest.
