Stamina Ab/Hyper Bench Review

Note that this review refers to the identical Stamina Ab/Hyper bench bought directly from Amazon [...] (with free super saver shipping) and not from Target [...].You can locate the Amazon.com item by searching Stamina ab/hyper bench in the Sports and Outdoors section.

Delivery: the item arrived promptly and was well packaged; there was no damage.

Assembly: uncomplicated and took under 30 minutes; instructions were straightforward; the bench can be easily folded and stored away.

Country of origin: China.

Construction: the steel frame is fairly light, but sturdy; no rickety parts; every single joint is thoroughly welded; the bench does not rock or tip during exercise; paint job is A+; padding is a little on a flimsy side and I do not expect it to last as long as my previous bench; the manufacturer specifies 250 lbs as a user weight limit.

Dimensions: the seat is only 28.5 inches long, so decide for yourself whether this is adequate for you; I would estimate that anyone over 6 ft tall will have difficulty using this product for sit-ups.
The vertical component of the bench (tilted 40 degrees and used for back hyperextension exercises) has adjustable height and will accommodate just about any sized human (but do not forget the 250 lbs weight limit); it does excellent job isolating the lower back muscles.

Overall appearance: it looks like a quality product overall, from stitching to glossy finish; the design is certainly compact and clever for what this bench does.

Price: $[...] for a bench like this, including delivery, is a good value.

Rating: 4 stars; there are nicer products out there, but they are all bulkier and more expensive.
