The Marcy Classic Mid-size Bench is the perfect bench for both beginners and advanced users. It's great gear for a lifetime of body sculpting. 2-piece construction allows for walk-in squat.Tough, versatile, and comfortable, the Marcy MD 859 mid-size weight bench is geared for a lifetime of body sculpting. The device is equipped with heavy-duty 3-inch-round steel uprights to hold the weight bar, with a 40-inch crutch width that accommodates both 6-foot and 7-foot bars. To ensure safety during walk-in squats and bench presses, the MD 859 also includes oversized bar catches to safely catch or cradle the bar. The unit's main attraction is its multi-position workout bench, which adjusts to decline, incline, flat, and military press positions. That's not the unit's only workout station, however, as the unit also includes a dual-action leg developer with six oversized roller pads, along with an integrated arm curl pad. The pivot point on the leg developer is ideally placed for correct joint alignment.
Other features include an adjustable pop-pin tightening feature; sturdy no-tip front and rear stabilizers; deluxe high-density boxed upholstery; and a durable powder-coated finish. Suitable for both beginning and advanced users, the unit measures 63 by 51 by 43 inches (W x H x D) and carries a two-year limited warranty on parts.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Excellent for the price
The price was right at $163 and with free shipping it surpasses many others I have seen or used. Put it together in about an hour but it helps to have your own tools. Instructions were relatively easy to follow and all the parts and pieces were in the box. Only a couple of drawbacks I've noticed while using the bench....the preacher curl attachment is not very stable, has a wobble to it and the quad extension gets in the way and won't allow you to fully extend your bar to get the max benefit from your curls. The quad extension end of the bench needs to have a horizontal stabilizing bar or brace like the rear part of the bench. The bench will tip to one side if too much of your body weight and weights lean to one side. Overall this is a good buy for the money and I enjoy using the bench and would recommend it. It is also a great feature to have the squat rack separate from the bench.

Decent setup with some flaws
It's great to have a separate bench and rack.
Price is good. Quality mediocre.
The height adjustment on the bench is dangerous. Locking bar can move side to side too much and disengage on one side. Should have end pieces that prevent movement.
Would be nice to be able to remove leg attachment altogether when not in use.
Also the curling platform is not very stable.
Overall a decent product for the price but mine will probably go back or I'll modify the height adjustment.
Solved my Squat Dilemma
Most importantly, I was looking for a solution for squats. Beginner benches do not have extending arms. Those that do often do not extend vertically high enough for squats. Most squat racks' horizontal distance are at least 48", which excludes the use of my 6' bar. Did not want to invest more $ in a 7' bar. Even the squat racks w/out a cross bar that are two separate peices go for upwards of $150. I was able to purchase this, with the nice bench included, for around the same price.
So, if you would like a bench that does not require a 7' bar and will accommodate squats, get this. It solved my problems.
