Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The MERACH Foldable Weight Bench is a home gym bench that takes up position 10 in this guide. It costs £69.99, carries a rating of 4.2 out of 5 from 380 ratings, and the listing describes an alloy steel frame, a fold to 33 x 19.8 x 72 cm, and 72 workout angles across 6 backrest positions, 4 seat adjustments and 3 footrest configurations. It is the cheapest bench in this guide and the one whose headline numbers come closest to agreeing with each other.
The title says MAX 450KG. Converted, 450 kg is about 992 lb. The first bullet and the spec table both say 990 lb. That is a 2 lb gap — rounding, not a contradiction, and it is the tightest pair of capacity figures on any listing we looked at. The angle count is where it slips: the title advertises "72/108 Training Angles", while the bullet only accounts for 72, from 6 x 4 x 3. We rank on the 990 lb figure, the lower of the two. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing and its customer reviews, not from testing of our own.
