My only complaint with the FID bench is that it can be quite loud when adjusting the angle. Just don't let the metal bang and you're golden

The bar is great. The collars broke after about 6 months of use.
Bench has a lot of movement to it. It's alright but doesn't really "feel solid". The yellow paint does not match the yellow rack whatsoever. Not a big deal but they look a little silly next to each other. The riveted nameplate was also crooked and bent. I tore it off because it looked awful.
That's pretty disappointing... I was just on their site again and the bench is OOS.. So it looks like it's still popular..? or the pandemic mode is still ongoing..
The rack is ok. Some of the welds on the pull up bar are hilarious. Like a 1/2" off. One of the support plates for the bottom of the rack wasn't drilled out for the bolts. I had to use the other plate as a template and drill the steel myself.
So basically their quality control is absolute garbage. I'm aware that it all comes from China but you'd think they'd spot some of this stuff before offloading it to their customers in Canada. I'm not confident they even look at it before swapping the labels and shipping it back out.
**Edit***
Also, don't be fooled by their 5 star reviews on their site. They delete the negative ones. I know that from experience.
The bench that I have is several years old. They no longer sell the same design. I can't speak to the quality of their current stuff but I certainly hope it's better than it used to be.
