Biggest problem with these narrow benches is your grip for bench press. You either have to go narrow or wide because the supports look to be RIGHT where I'd put my hands or close to it. Plus, when you're loading the bar, especially if you have a 6 ft bar (definitely wouldn't use a 7 ft), the bar is going to be unbalanced probably requiring you to support it until you can get weight on the other side.
Still leaves 210LBS for the lifter's weight so maxing it out is unlikely unless your a top tier lifter! Sure if your a competitive lifter you will be able to max it out but even then you can do an extra set if this is all you can afford. WE are talking a $54 setup here most "serious lifters" spend more than that on supplement's

Those standards are crazy low compared to what a lifter can do in a couple months in the gym. I bench 2x bodyweight now after 3 years of training, but it only took me about the first 3 months to hit 185. I did not consider myself to be an average or intermediate lifter when I benched 185, I was a beginner in every sense of the word.
Yes it's a $54 setup so you can't expect much, but the point is that you should really spend that $54 on supplements instead like you said. Some things are not worth cheaping out on. Just get a used setup.

Yes, there are old people, smaller people, teens, etc. I clearly was not talking about them, those people can just ignore my comment and purchase if they want to. Just relax dude, your insecurities are showing so hard.
Who needs to think about long term for a $54 purchase? Maybe people who don't want to have to deal with lugging this back to the store or trying to sell it on facebook marketplace in a couple months. It's not the $54, it's the bulky thing sitting in their basement that can be avoided.
