It is exactly as it appears in the photo, so there were no surprises upon delivery. It is a fairly long bench, at least as much as it should be, so when someone lies down along it, they can comfortably rest their head on the pillow, of course for those who are up to 1.75cm tall. It is also sturdy in construction. However, it has three disadvantages in my opinion. It is somewhat tall and narrow in width. When you sit and lie down to do chest exercises, it gives the impression that you need to align yourself well so as not to veer to the right or left. It is also lightweight. All of these factors combined create a feeling of insecurity when sitting, although overall it is stable.
