Pretty good. And I used it to stretch my back most of the time. Leather is still good. If anything the plastic parts are the one that have seen some wear and hear. The plastics on the bottom of the feet, that's the only thing that's kinda busted. Oh and the foam are kinda moving more now than before doesn't cause any issue at all. The main parts are still pristine 😂
"Accommodates user and weights up to 300 lbs." I take it this means a 200 lb person doing a chest press with a 50 lb weight in each hand maxes out the limit?

I also have this same bench from years ago. Pros are it's lightweight and easy to pick up with one hand and move around and it easily fold fairly flat and can be leaned against the wall out of the way. Cons are it is fairly "shaky" in my experience, not a big deal though and still works well for home use.
I now keep it for my free weight exercises off to the side then have a heavier bench I use for cables and bench press.

Get this bench and a couple of free weights that suit you. This plus some calisthenics is all you need to look daaaaayumn good. And you can work out every day and be done and in your own shower by the time you would have driven to the gym.
I used to blow off going to the gym, but once i started working out at home, you couldn't stop me from getting it in.

Mind sharing your routine that only needs free weights and a bench?
I use an automated spreadsheet in google sheets that makes the routine a little more complicated, but those are the basics of it.
I wouldn't complicate things too much to begin with. what's most important is just lifting something, and doing it routinely.
if you are interested in the spreadsheet I use, it's from "stronger by science," who also have a very science-y podcast, and also run a nutrition tracking app called MacroFactor that I also use.
the spreadsheet system is only $10 (or you can choose to pay more)

anyway, I have used it for a year and a half now and am happy to have spent the $10 on it.
I like your answer better than the one I was going to type. I never used any guides. I had a book of calisthenics and a book of free weight exercises and I just did what I could without being organized about it.
I wasn't like Arnold Schwarzenegger big, but I was f---ing the chicks who squeezed my arms at the bar and that was my goal besides feeling fit.
