After two months of almost-daily use, this bench has held up well. The padding has the right level of sturdiness and cushioning. The adjustment settings achieve all the angles I use for my workouts.The seat pad incurred a small tear along one of the seams while I had the seat up for inclined bench presses. I learned that you need to be careful when sitting on the seat that you sit all the way back, rather than sitting at the front end and sliding down, which pulls the fabric and can stretch it or lead to tears. That sounds obvious, but the seat is pretty tall when it is in its highest position, so you need to be careful when getting on the bench while carrying weights (if the seat is up).Adjusting the bench is simple and fast with the quick-release screwing knobs. Great value for the price. It's very sturdy and has held up well.
