I'm looking for a cheap but reliable incline bench for my home gym. I'm going to use mainly dumbbells with it. I looked at Dick's online and found 2 that I like and that were in my price range.
The first one looks flimsy to me but it was cheap. I'm thinking about going with the second one. I want to hear other peoples opinions though.

The first one looks like it would fold just from my weight alone.
How much do you weigh? What kind of db movements are you looking to use with this bench? If you're going to be benching heavy dumbells, I say no way. If you're just looking for something to do lighter incline curls, you'd probably be safe.
Either way really, I suggest watching Craigs List.

Cheap and reliable are 2 words that don't go together. Craigslist in the other hand will get you alot for your money. I sold a Parabody FID bench for $100 and they're rock solid. Keep an eye out!
X2 on craigslist. i saw a body solid FID bench for 70$ a while back. your not going to get anything reliable from dicks. its cheap for a reason.

You really do get what you pay for...
I bought a bodysolid GFID31 for $75... Brand freakin' new. You just have to be patient sometimes with CL, but it's worth it.
