Side by Side Comparison of: Yaheetech vs Marcy vs ProSource vs CAP Barbell

Item arrived on time, new and works great. I will definitely order again.

Great addition to my weight room. Feel sturdy enough, don't take up too much room when not in use.

Awesome for a small home gym. Sturdy enough to hold my weights but light enough to move around when not in use. Directions weren't too difficult to put together. Probably took me 20 minutes.

These are very sturdy and strong. Only time will show if they stand up to wear and tear but so far I'm pleased with them. Obviously they aren't as stable as a full squat rack but as a cheap substitute they are excellent. Everything was there in the box and went together easily. It came quickly, less than a week for sure but I don't remember exactly how many days it took to be honest...

This baby performed just as advertised---easy to assemble, works great, very strong.Fits right under my bench; great for both bench presses, squats, etc.

The product shipped as expected. These are great for your casual lifter. The heightening bars are a little loose, but I've seen similar in gyms. if you wedge something between the metal it will fix it. This is not at all a big deal. I bought a 6 foot Olympic bar which works but its a close fit. I had reservations to get these stands because I had read that someone felt the stands needed to be too close together which could cause tripping or at least an obstacle. I'm 5'9" , 175 lbs and while they are close together I still have plenty of room to step between them. You need to be paying attention anyway. The pictures will hopefully give you a good idea and don't be intimidated by all the weight you see on the bar. I'd be comfortable putting anything less than 300 lbs on these stands.

The bench is very sturdy. It is the right length for doing flat bench exercises. It might be a little short if you have an extremely long torso but most people should be fine with it. Its a complete steal at the price they offer it here. Most other benches like this are upwards of $100. I love the leather feel to it, it feels very high quality and is an attractive bench. Putting it together was a breeze. I've had it for almost two years and it has held up great.

Sturdy. I use it every day and even do box jumps on it.

This is a perfect size for a home gym. I have combined this bench with free weights, an elliptical, a roller and ab wheel. This is all I need for a fully body workout. The bench is strong enough to use with free weights but light enough to move around the house. I'm petite and it works great in terms of the size and height. Perhaps for a much bigger person, it could be too small? It was very easy to put together and all I might do is tighten the hardware once a year.

Wow this bench is amazing! I got this bench to work out in using my Powerblock set and I have no complaints at all. I am a small person (5'8" and 150 lbs). It is easy to move around, I keep my sets under the chair to save more room space and it fits well. When I am not working out, I use it as a normal bench at my desk and it works out well for me. One thing to note is that the bench may be a little shorter on the width and length side for someone who is over 6ft and bulkier than me.

Teen Son's ReviewI really like this bench because it supports my weight without wobbling and, because of the type of workouts I do, has multiple uses.PROS: Supports a lot of my weight with little to no wobble at all. It's not huge so it fits almost anywhere. It doesn't keep the smell of sweat after I workout. Very lightweight and easy to carry.CONS: I haven't found any yet.So in conclusion, I have found it to be a very reliable bench and I would recommend that if you're in the market for a bench, this is a good buy.

(For latest update, see update below) I thought I would take a chance on this bench since it was so cheap, and I couldn't be more satisfied. It was packed well and went together in about 5 minutes. It is a testament to the effectiveness of this bench that even during the assembly stage I could already feel substantial gains in my lats. A quick mirror check confirmed this to be true. All the parts were there, and an Allen wrench was included. Just make sure you have a regular wrench for some of the bolts and some bourbon for overall health and well being.I hopped on for a few quick reps to test it out and found that it was incredibly solid - absolutely no wobble at all. My other FID bench has a tiny bit of wiggle that is a constant bother. With the indicated 600lb limit, this should be fine for heavy lifting for just about anybody. Unfortunately my compression socks were at the dry cleaners or I would have tested that limit. Maybe next time I'll update on the max capabilities. Finally, the padding was nice and thick and firm. I couldn't feel any bolts underneath, and it gave nice support - not too spongy.One thing I noticed was that the user limit was 300lb, but the max limit was 600lb. I don't know how the bench knows if you're a 400lb guy lifting 200 or a 200lb guy lifting 400, but you probably wouldn't want to get those two hypothetical scenarios mixed up. If you're 305 and want to a bit of iron hoisting, I would suggest doing a bit of cardio and maybe some sauna first to hit that 300lb limit.(Update: 09/30/2015) I see that some people have been having issues with the durability and/or stability of their units. Maybe some others have purchased lemons, but mine is still rock solid over a year later - no wobbles, no weld failures, and no problems with the stitching. The padding is also still very firm. This is with consistent 3-4x per week of use, unless it is holiday season where usage drops precipitously in honor of the festive spirits - both beer and bourbon. I still have yet to test that upper weight limit, but I'm getting the kangaroo leather inserts redone on my weightlifting gloves. Once those bad boys are back from the tailor and they are properly oiled and conditioned, I'll be ready to max out and give it a go.

I was very impressed how heavy the box is. After assembling it and using it some, I was pretty satisfied. The only thing though is that the vertical posts can slightly wiggle side to side parallel to the two horizontal posts. It wiggles a little side to side but not that bad. I really like the safety catch being there. It just makes me feel secured thinking that if I need it that it would be there.

Hubby is very happy with his new adjustable squat rack. This was one of the only ones that wasn't too tall for our short basement. He no longer has to waste time driving to a gym, and with a new baby on the way he is excited to be able to continue working out the way he wants without worrying about bringing the baby with him, he can simply work out at home. We did wish it was a smidge easier to adjust. But assembly was a breeze

I only need something for light to medium work outs, these stands are working out fine.

Assembly could have been better.

They hold up fine for me. I use a 7ft barbell with bumper plates. Easy to put away and have room to park my car in the garage. I'm just starting off so it will be a while before I hit a weight that will be uncomfortable with these. I think once you hit the 300's then you will want to invest a little more.

For the price, they are really great. I would have given them 5 stars but they are a bit wobbly. To solve this, I bolted on an aluminum tube to the back, bottom of the two stands and that did the trick. I'd recommend them for sure.

So far this bench is living up to my expectations. Easy to put together. The bench pad is solid and hard which has taken some getting used to given my old one had more cushion. However, I think the solidness of has enhanced my free weight work. The height is also a bit higher than my old one which required more focus when doing my step-ups and considering I'm 5'4". Overall, I'm impressed with the quality and price which was less than half in what I could have paid for the exact same bench in a sporting goods store.

This bench does everything you want at this price point. It would be better if it were a few more inches long, as I sometimes have trouble laying on the bench to do presses. You can manage it, but you have to use every inch of the bench if you're over 6 feet tall. The bench was fairly easy to put together, and I managed it in approximately 20 minutes. The pparts are very well constructed, and so far I haven't been disappointed.

This is a starter bench. It's rated at 600 lb max (person and weights). It did not arrive in one day as Amazon estimated. Overall a decent bench for a beginner or someone doing simple dumbbell or body weight exercises. I would buy again. See pros and cons below:Pros:Build is consumer grade and suited for working out at home for most.Simple to put together with some basic wrenchesLight and easy to move aroundSmall footprintCons:The padding is not as dense and comfortable as your high quality gym benches

Very simple, well built, perfect for my purpose. Was easy to assemble. My only complaint is that I am working out because I am fat and need to build some strength. I laid down on the bench to do some lifts and basically had to roll off. It is too narrow to push up off of, and nothing to hook my feet in to help me sit up. Maybe when my core gets stronger I won't be like a turtle!

This bench is pretty much as advertised. You will need to assemble it, but it was pretty easy to do. However, I am one of those people that take everything out of the box and check off that all parts are present before beginning anything. I also read all instructions! :-)It seems lightweight, but it is pretty sturdy when using. I got this for a particular workout program that I started and use it for a lot of step ups and step overs, jump over the bench and some free weight lifting. Have not had an issue with it to date. I am female, 5'5" 170 lbs and not lifting more than 20 pound hand weights, so take that as you will!

I bought this bench to be able to do some basic exercises (dumbbell chest press, dumbbell leg curls, bench hip thrust, etc.) when I do not have time to go to the gym. I find it perfect for home use. The quality seems good and it was very easy to put together, Although,I had to put some muscle strength in tightening the bolts. The only con is that the bench is really light and I found it to tip over when doing dumbbell leg curls or hyper-extensions on one end. I fixed this easily by putting 20 lbs dumbbells over the bench base on the opposite end. So I am very happy with this purchase since I can do the exercises I bought it for.

a little wobbly but not bad

Easy to setup, wish there was a way to connect them together, be careful with heavy weights when re-racking cause the stands will jostle if you throw the bar back on the rack too hard.

not very stable

Good for the price, but craftsmanship is questionable. The screws holding the bottom together are too long and hit the ground causing a wobble. If the top pin is inserted then the pin for the safety arms don't line up and won't go in. Recommended for someone just starting out before they graduate to a standard rack.

Could of been built stronger

The product was perfect as described. Im 6'5 and it is barely tall enough on the highest setting. It took over 2 weeks to make it to my house.

The bench itself is nice quality, however, The screws that secure the bench to the two "feet" are too long and as a result they extend past the bottom of the rubber end caps on either side of the feet. This results in the bench wobbling wheneve I move it or reposition it. Otherwise, it is suitable for at home workout.

The bench has some unexpected flexibility during use. I am under 200 lbs and not lifting over 70 lbs total. I wonder how it does with big guys lifting more serious weights?

Good bench for the price, a bit bigger than I expected, but perfect for doing dumbbell exercises at home. I canceled my gym membership and bought this + a pair of Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells & an Ab Ball. I'm able to get a complete work out at home on my own schedule and could not be happier. I'm 5'11, 170 lbs, and I the maximum weight on my dumbbells is 105 lbs, so that's what I bench, but if you're looking to do more than that, this might not be the bench for you, since the max load is only 300 pounds.

This thing wobbles but for the price, what do you expect. I have this and 2 of the more expensive Marcy Bench. The more expensive one is worth it when it's on sale at $64. But for this price, you really can't complain. The difference is the legs and the cushion. My major complaint on this one is that no way you can fix the wobble!

The bench is good, so far, but feels slightly wobbly. I'm a big guy (6'4" 230 pounds) and can feel the bench giving under my weight when I sit on the edges. I wouldn't trust it to hold me up if I did bench dips. I can also feel it shifting substantially when I do heavy bench press. I feel like a lot of that could have been mitigated if they threw 3 or 4 steel strips on the underside to distribute the load. So, for now, it works, but I'm not so sure about the long term viability of the bench.

I'm 5'7" and this bench is a perfect fit for me. If you're much taller than I am it may be a little short for you. Width seems standard like the benches at the gym, but length strikes me as a little less. Easy to put together, seems super sturdy, and I expect it will last for years to come in my workout room.

A bit cheap, but got a partial refund to keep them. Ok.

Gets the job done but barely. Crude design so setup took forever. Not very stable. Foam padding on bar arms is not dense so it was crushed into a very thin pad after a day. Height adjustments are trash too

This bench is not sturdy at all. Not lightweight people doing light weight exercise only. I didn't expect much out of it, but i got less than expect on durability. This thing can barely handle 200lbs.

When I put it together it does not sit flat. It wobbles. It's higher than the ones I have used at the gym and my feet do not come close to being in a comfortable bench position. But I suppose for a cheap price you get what you pay for. I would return if I had paid more but it's not worth the time to take apart package and ship back. I'm sure I'll find some use out of it

After about 10-20 uses the middle of the bench will start to bend, this bench has the potential to mess up your posture. 2 stars because it does work other than that this bench is made with horrible, bending plywood.

Not exactly durable... I have owned this for 1.5 years, and typically put a total ~250-280lbs on the bench. It is rated for 300lbs, but that is not the case with mine. After about 6 months, I noticed one of the legs warped a bit diagonally, and yesterday while lifting I noticed for the first time that the entire surface of the bench is very uneven--leaning towards the left side. Time to replace it before I injure a shoulder or worse, have the leg snap in half.Do yourself a favor and get a more expensive bench. Your future gains will appreciate it.

The bolts provided by the manufacturer are about 1.5cm too long. The bench simply cannot be assembled with the provided hardware. I'll have to purchase my own nuts and bolts if I want to assemble this bench...

This bench is completely unbalanced and the screws don't screw in all the way. Don't get me wrong, it gets the job done. I can do my bench presses but it wobbles a lot. Don't recommend this bench.

Dreadful instructions and nuts that don't fit the bolts. avoid

This product is so bad that it is nonexistent, and the customer service is horrible.

This whole thing is trash. Spend money on a quality rack. Unstable and may as well be made of aluminum foil.

It's a no for me! Not as strong as advertised, I'm still nursing my injury from the whole weights and the device collapsing on me.

The Vertical Tube and Base Tube is providing me with issues on this product. When I connected the tubes with the nuts and bolts provided, there is a 1/4-Inches of room, causing the rack to wobble. I have rated this a 1/5 as this is unusable at this point.Vendor - please respond or I will seek a refund.

Too short. Needs to be at least 6 inches longer. Made for extremely short people.

Bolts that attaches the base to the upright piece is really hard to tighten and loose on mine. There is nothing to hold the bottom piece in place while you try to tighten the top of the bolt so it keeps spinning instead of tightening which is problematic.

I feel like a complete idiot for buying a $40 bench. My biggest concern was that it wouldn't be level. It wasn't even close. No amount of adjusting nuts and bolts could correct this.

The legs are wobbly and uneven, and this has gotten worse over time. I had to attach pieces of sponge to the bottom to stabilize it, but it still doesn't work. It also slides across a wood floor if you jump onto it. The instability makes it more difficult to workout with this equipment.

This bench was lopsided and slanted to one side. I emailed Amazon to see if they can send me a new one and never heard back.

the parts provided for assembly do not fit. Wobbly and unstable. Not usable.
