Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-07-06 Summary: Great for the price! ... I recently purchased the product for my home I was a serious lifter in my teens through about 30.

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-29 Summary: What a Great Deal! ... I had been searching for a smith machine and found the marcy Diamond. What a great price and it comes with the pullys for pulldowns.

I am a competitive bodybuilder and long-time physical trainer who hates working out at home, but newly moved and 40 minutes' drive from the gym compelled me to find a way to do that. For the money [$[...] at the Hilo Cost-U-Less] this is a fine bench, but as others have pointed out, if you're over five foot nine, you'll probably be less happy than I. The bench is sturdy enough for my 185 lb. frame, and with the bench in its flat bench position or incline, it is fine for many exercises that requires these. The versatility ...more
