So, let’s get started.
Product Summary
If you are looking for a weight bench for an affordable price, then Cap Barbell Deluxe Utility might be the right one for you.
With unique design and features, the CAP FM-CB804DX has been a favorite for many people who love to exercise on the weight bench.
If you compare it to other weight benches on the market at the same price range then this one rather has many unique features. Normally you might see weight benches at this price range can only hold up to 300 lbs, but Cap Barbell Deluxe Utility has the limitation of 500 lbs, which is in my opinion great for weight benches with affordable prices.
It also comes in 8 different colors. Its weight is 46.28 lbs and comes with a 30-day manufacturer warranty.
It was first available on December 16, 2016. It has box-stitched seating areas with perforated accents, transport wheels and transport handle, and a comfortable embroidered logo with blue stitching.
It is constructed with 2×2 inch steel tubing with Three-step powder coat paint for durability.

- Weight capacity: As I mentioned earlier, it has more weight capacity than most other weight benches at this price range. It has a limitation of 500 lbs for a flat bench and 400 lbs for an incline bench.
- Seven positions: There are a total of seven positions on this weight bench. Six are of incline and the other one is the flat one. The variety of the positions are good for incline pressing movement. It is comfortable and lets you stay where you wanna be while performing your movements.
- Portability: One of the most unique features of this weight bench is that it can be carried anywhere you want. There are wheels on the back and handles on the front. That’s how you can take it out with you anywhere you want to travel or move out.

What You Might Dislike
- Durability: Of course, if you are looking for a weight bench at this price range, then you are also looking for something that can last long. But sorry to inform you that it’s not that long-lasting. But if you use it moderately, by taking real care of it, then it may last longer than we expected. But if you use it roughly and almost regularly, then it’s not gonna last that much.
- No leg curl attached: As it has a handle in the front for portability, thus, it can’t have a leg curl attached with it. It may not be a concern for many people, but, for some, it is an issue.
- Short termed warranty: Now that’s a real issue. Many people would just not buy it because of its only 30-days warranty. If you ever have an issue or a problem with the bench, it’s not gonna work after 30 days.
- The problem for shorter people: As I mentioned earlier, it is great for taller people, but, on the contrary, it is not that great for shorter people. The gaps between the seats are pretty wide. You have to adjust your seating according to the seats.
Verdict
The time for our verdict. To be very honest with you, its pros and cons are totally based on you. Like, if you are a taller person, then this weight bench is for you regarding the price. In contrast, if you are a shorter person, then it may not seem to be a reliable purchase for you, though it’s all up to you.
Again, if you want a leg curl attached, then don’t buy it. But it is a tremendous option for people who want a portable weight bench.
Not gonna lie, but, the short length warranty and the durability is an issue for purchasing this weight bench.
But if you are looking for better functionality and variety, well then, our verdict is to go for it. Yes, it is a reliable choice in those manners. The colors, positions and weight capacity is actually a great advantage if you keep the price range in mind.
