MARCYUtility Slant Board Exercise Bench for Strength Training and Home Gym Workouts

If you hate doing crunches, this is what you need. It works your abs so much easier and faster than crunches. It's comfortable, adjustable, sturdy and small enough to store anywhere. For the price, it's an amazing investment for people who hate crunches. I definitely feel it! Downside is it doesn't fold. But other than that, this slant board is amazing.

I put this bench together on my own, took about twenty minutes. Most of my time was making sure the screws were in tight. It's smaller than your average gym incline bench and at first. I wasnt sure if this was going to be a concern but it turns out the size of the bench is just fine. I've been dong incline sit ups every day for about a week. No problem with screws loosening up or the board feeling off or weak.The Allen wrench that came with the product was useless. I used my own which is a larger size. Also, as simple as the instructions are laid out, "Securely tighten all Nuts and Bolts" doesnt tell you how. You need to use both the Allen and Adjustable Wrench simultaneously. For those than don't know this, they may run into a lengthy challenge as to how to accomplish this step.Overall, good sturdy product that has no immediate sign of wearing down.

I bought this as a cheap option to have a slant board for some situps in my home. It works perfectly, but I'm around 200lbs, 6'. My girlfriend who is a lot smaller fits perfectly on it, but for me, the pads seem a little tight. I have learned to position myself to avoid any pain, but sometimes it takes resetting my footing once or twice. The pads are not very wide, so sometimes it will pinch the skin when you try to crap yourself onto it. Redesigns should hopefully make that part a little wider, or you can make something yourself. Overall, the build quality is fine. It's a little shaky, but for the price, you can't expect a ship quality build. Would definately recommend even with the minor issues.

Great bench for the price.

It is a solid sit up bench. It comes with assembly instructions and tools. I very much like it. Thank you

Good entry level piece of basic exercise equipment. I wanted something that would allow me to do sit ups/crunches up off of the floor (and away from my inquisitive dog), and this definitely does the trick. There is little in the way of height adjustments (other than the adjusting the location of the lower leg brace), but you can easily prop either end up on books/steps/bricks if you wanted to increase or decrease the angle of the board. As for stability, I am a big guy (290 lbs), and it has been strong and stable enough for me to do my exercises on it, so there are no worries there (just make sure you have all the bolts tightened).Now for the negatives, the pads on the leg braces are rather thin (I ended up draping a folded towel over the brace that goes behind the knees for extra padding), and the bars that hold them are not locked into place, so as you get on/off and do your exercises, they can shift one way or the other (pushing the pads along with them). I wrapped some duct tape around the upper bar on either side of the center support to keep it from wandering, and it largely has solved that issue, but the pads still sometimes need to be pushed back on. The migrating brace pads is further exacerbated by the overall narrowness of the set up, and while this narrowness hasn't affected the stability (so far, maybe if I start doing more intense exercises that will change), I do have to be extra cautious about keeping my knees close together so that they are able to brace against the pads and hold my legs in place while I work out.All in all, if you are looking for an entry level slant board for doing your sit ups/crunches on, this will in all likelihood work for you, but if you are looking to do intensive workouts on it, your might want to consider a slightly more robust option.

It works great! Now, you do get what you pay for in that it's VERY low to the ground (maybe 2.5' tall at its highest point) and a little wobbly when being moved around, but it gets the job done well! I'm 5'4" and this fits me well. I'd imagine anyone over 6' might struggle a bit but you never know. The directions aren't great but it wasn't hard to put together. I'm not assembly-inclined and it took me 20-30 minutes max to assemble on my own. Light weight too! I assembled it upstairs then carried it, assembled, to the basement workout room with ease (& I can't lift much!). Sturdy once you're on it - didn't move or shift when I did sit up. Good purchase!
