Builds in about 20 mins, you probably want a socket wrench for best results to make sure it's sturdy. That being said it feels rock solid after I built it and can support most light to medium exercises on it.
Use a torque wrench - allen key provided is not adequate. Follow this advice and you'll get a rock solid bench at the end. And it'll be much faster and fun to build. Use the allen key and everything will wobble. To me, that's not a product defect.
Nice product for the price compared to more expensive ones

I've had it for a few weeks and its holding up well and I'm noticing results. The pads aren't very supportive but I usually try to adjust the positioning for more comfort. Overall it's a great deal for the price but may be a challenge for some people to piece together. It's worth the time though.
This machine is really good. I finally found something to work out my calves effectively. Putting this machine together is very time consuming and tiring but once I got it together, I've been using it consistently ever since. I look forward to leg day now that I have this. Thanks so much for such a great product. WORTH IT!
Decent machine for the price.However there was a busted plastic slide when I unboxed it, even though the box did not look damaged. That said, I was able to get it to work ok.
The welds are laughably bad but nothing that looks immediately dangerous. And what I mean is examine the machine every few workouts to make sure everything is copacetic. I expect this to last a couple years, tops. My overall rating is because of my satisfaction relative to the price point: it's worth what I paid.
