Nope. First review I saw:

"Garbage, weld broke and I went down.
Complete JUNK. It is supposed to hold a person up to 250lbs and total weight of 800lbs. I am well under 250 and was lifting NO WHERE near 550 so it should have been perfectly fine. But nope, a weld snapped and I went down. So, this is junk. Only got it in December, so about a month old."
There are photos with that review showing just how tiny the failed weld is. Your risk assessment is your personal business, but also...insane (I'd give about 7 orders of magnitude difference in probability of weld failure between this $50 bench and a $5000 one). Also, those 600 reviews are scattered across 4 different benches, of which this one appears the flimsiest (even the cheaper flat bench is safer due to simpler design).
$50 + the hospital bill you get when a BalanceFrom equipment breaks mid lift

1 out of 600, I'll take my chances. You can spend $5,000 and have a weld break, looks like they just got a bad one. 437 5-star reviews, so it's worth a chance.

Also bear in mind that 600lb does NOT mean bodyweight plus bar weight.

It is total pressure, including momentum. When pushing up, that adds a significant amount (and lessens when coming down).

An example:
Try to do a lat pulldown at 10lb below bodyweight without bracing your legs under a pad and feet off the floor. You will fly upward, and if you hang, slowly come back down. You are exerting more than your bodyweight in pressure due to your momentum. I can't do it slow enough not to fly upward (but maybe you can).

Full disclosure: Not buying this because I'm happy with my cheap adjustable bench from another brand.

I bought this about 5yr ago. It's cheap and imperfect, but it works. I think there is a newer version that is available:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CR4XFIK/

I am also not a beast - I weigh about 180 and bench about 250, so I haven't truly pressed anywhere near it's weight limit, so most cheap benches are fine for me.

The biggest flaw is that it's slidey - use too much leg drive and the bench will move. I have a plywood backstop to prevent that.

I have been using this bench since Covid, 2021. Bought it because the difficulty getting exercise equipment then. I only use it with dumbbells total weight of 200lbs. My body weight is 190lbs. Only complaint I have is the gap between the seat cushion and back/spine cushion is pretty wide. It does cause a discomfort when in the totally flat/even position. But for the price it was worth it.

Rep AB-3000. It costs about $300 but you'll never have to worry about your safety. Commercial gym quality. Best value IMO

Another option is the ironmaster super bench. I've used the old version for years, though they do have a pro version now. I have never heard of anyone coming close to breaking them, they are built like tanks and I believe are rated for 1000lbs if I remember correctly. They are also easy to adjust with only your foot pushing down a pin, and most importantly they have all kinds of attachments that can give you just about everything you need in a home gym. Yeah, much more expensive than this $50 thing, but a hell of a lot safer and more options to expand as you go
