Review by Morrell Deedes for Cap Barbell Fitness FID Bench
Rating:
This is a surprisingly sturdy, lightweight bench to use for dumbbell exercises. Not only is it affordable, but it is easier to put together than the average treadmill. The manual’s instructions for putting the bench together are clear and easy to follow, and it offers good advice on how to get started coming up with an exercise routine. The bench’s backrest is adjustable (a hard-to-find but important feature), so you can do the full range of dumbbell exercises.
Customers should know before buying that the bench is designed to support a maximum user weight of 250 lbs with a combined dumbbell weight of 100 lbs. So, although you cannot use this bench for lifting massive weights, it is ideal for people who are just starting out or who are focusing on fitness instead of extreme bodybuilding.

Easily assembled, compact and sturdy. Great ab bench, dumbbell chest bench, and good for back work. Leg bars make isolation curls a little difficult, but otherwise a solid product.

I weight 191 Lbs and workout with dumbells. The bench is quite sturdy. No complaints.

I’m an inch or so over 6 feet and my head is almost at the edge of the bench when doing lying-down chest dumbbell workouts (after scooting down a bit). It may not matter to you but just mentioning since I like to lift my feet up to the foot-rest to keep my lower back down.
Putting the bench together is a bit of a pain and I don’t think the weight holders are useful — at least not for someone with my arm length.
Overall though, its good enough for your basic exercise needs, so I would say, go for it.

Size:
I’m 6-feet and, uh, “hefty”. The bench seems sturdy enough but is only marginally comfortable for me. IMO would be fine for smaller/thinner people and my 5’7″ “normal” sized wife finds it comfortable.
Assembly:
Not too hard. Directions are reasonably clear and call for two adjustable wrenches, hammer, and one each Phillips and flat-head screwdrivers. I didn’t need the hammer or screwdrivers as the pieces requiring them were already in place. As far as wrenches, I have a collection of metric open/box-end wrenches, sockets, and ratchets and these made assembly far easier than adjustable wrenches. Most of the nuts have 13mm heads, most of the bolts 14mm heads. A couple of bolts/nuts required 17mm and 19mm tools.
The directions also said two people were needed for assembly … maybe it would have been a little easier at times, but I did the entire job by myself without problem.
Surprise:
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the front support leg is designed to fold up under the seat to reduce storage space as I hadn’t seen this feature mentioned in any description. Just remove an “L” shaped rod (easy to do) and push the leg back. To set-up, pull the leg out to the upright position and insert the “L” rod.
Overall: We’re very pleased with this bench and plan to use it a lot.
