Allows me to store my bench vertically. It's over built and very sturdy.

Great addition to the 2.0 adjustable bench, however it should’ve come standard. Makes it very simple to stand and store vertically for space saving.

I’ve had this bench for a bit over 2 years. It’s been a good bench. I have been disappointed in the quality as others have mentioned. The handle on my bench broke off and the rubber end caps have slowly been tearing after moving around my home gym. Nothing crazy, just normal use that you’d think this tank of a bench could handle. After contacting customer service to check on replacement parts, I was told they could not replace the rubber end caps on the bottom of the bench, that they were not available. However, I was told I could purchase a new plastic handle cover to replace the one that broke off. Sorry, I buy from Rogue so pieces don’t fall apart. You’d think with the price of this product, it would last a bit longer and pieces like this would be covered. This interaction has dinged my trust a bit in Rogue’s quality in their adjustable bench and others should be aware of issues as well as how they are handled before purchasing.

While the general build quality of the item is good, some of the components--especially the handle--are cheaply made. The handle on my unit came loose, despite light use, due to a poor fit between the screw and the handle itself. The problem is that the screw seats into the plastic handle, which is not durable. This could be corrected by having a metal insert to screw into. I have contacted Rogue customer service, and they have told me that: 1) they do not cover this part under warranty, and 2) they cannot sell me a replacement part. I would hope that, as a premium brand, it would be covered, or that it woult otherwise be possible to get a replacement piece. While it can be used/moved without the handle, my wife (for whom the bench is heavy to begin with) has found it very uncomfortable to move, without having a handle attached. I have attached photos of the handle assembly, which show the screw itself, and the plastic hole it's intended to screw into.

So glad I made this purchase it’s so well made very sturdy

This flat bench is built like a tank! I liked that it shipped fully assembled and yes, the shipping is expensive, but you're getting a rock solid piece of steal ready to go, out of the box. Personally, I like that it's not bolt-together, per-say and I think it's rock solidness can be attributed to that. This bench replaced another very popular adjustable bench from that 'Colorado' based retailer. You all know the one! The Rogue bench is so much better than that 'other' adjustable bench. The 'other' bench had to be assembled upon delivery and though it was solid in the flat position, as soon as you set it at an incline, the back portion swayed back and forth worse than a tree in a hurricane! There is a DIY fix for this issue, but I don't feel like I should have to do work myself to improve a bench that expensive. Sure, the Rogue costs more, but I wanted something STABLE and I don't think there's an adjustable bench out there more solid than the AB-.2.0. Though the seat and back don't have as many adjustable settings as the 'other' bench, the trade off for heft and stability wins out and there are enough positions that I can hit every angle I need during my workouts. I cannot overstate how stable this thing is when doing seated OHP or incline benching. There is no rocking and no swaying. It would be nice to have one more additional seat incline setting, but honestly the one you get works great. I've never slid off the bench when in incline. You remain very secure. If there was one con, I would say it would be nice to have a textured grip to the pad covering. It's a personal preference, but I like having the pad grip to help lock the body in place. It's not a deal breaker, but would be nice if Rogue offered an option like what they do for their flat benches with the Thompson/Competition pads.

Extremely heavy duty worth the money. Love it!!!!!

This thing is rock solid and very comfortable. I and my cleints love it. I highly recommend.
