Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My review is based on my experience using this product. I purchased it in March 2020. The locking mechanism is a metal tab that slips into a hole. The tab itself is about 1/2 inch. That is what you depend on to hold your weight. Two weeks ago, while I was bench pressing dumbbells, the tab slipped out and the bench declined as I was lowering the weights. the combined weight was well under the max limit. Today, I'm laying on the floor using a cervical pillow because my neck is in excruciating pain. I start physical therapy tomorrow. Please spend the extra money and buy something with a better locking mechanism. This bench isn't worth the risk.
