I am 6'5" and this bench is long enough and sturdy enough to easily hold my body size and weight. I have used up to 200 lbs of weights with this bench and the bench is very sturdy. It's a man size weight lifting bench that easily folds up and is just as sturdy folded as it is with the bench sitting on the floor. Note: I use a strap to strap my weight bench up against my weight bar when not in use. You can remove your weights, put the bench in the upright position, lock it in place with a pin and then put your weights back on. I prefer just to use a strap because I don't have to worry about kids pulling on it.
