www.bodysolid.com
www.powertecfitness.com

Keys is pretty good and cheaper than the above, you can find their site here:

Why is that bad?

[scott_donald]

just looks flimsy and as if it wont take much weight and not good for expansion

in my opinion for home gyms get a good quality bench(decline to verticle) and a power rack...

the bodysolid one is the ones i have and could not be happier...

[United]

it is decline (4 stages)

Yeah it could be a bit flimsy but benchpress to 120 KG is enough for me!

ye but i have gone through three benches now in the last three years better to spend the little extra now than spend more in the future...

That bench is also too narrow across the uprights. It makes it hard to load and unload the bar without a partner. Unstable and unsafe. Get an Olympic-width bench, and don't go too cheap. This is a solid choice:

$229, shipping included, and very sturdy.

actually MiloMan, the shipping is free on that bench...all you pay is the 8.25% tax (New York State Tax)

Look again at what I wrote:

"$229, shipping included" (emphasis added)

Also, if you don't live in New York, you don't pay their sales tax on mail orders (unless that company has a retail outlet in your state).

oh i thought you ment 229 +s/h...sorry about that

I own the NYBB bench that Miloman mentioned, I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone. I would also encourage anyone purchasing the bench to invest in the attachable safety stands as well if you lift alone.

hey buffin, whats the incline/flat/decline capacity on that bench cause it looks really good

[BuffinSeminole]

I believe its 800 in the flat position, and 600 in the incline/decline position, but you might wanna double check with NYBB on that one.
