Bought mine in 2011. Never had a problem.. Have weighed in the 230s, no problem. Am 5'6, 70 year old female, no problem. It is adequate for it's purpose. This is not gym equipment which costs hundreds and thousands of dollars. It is HOME gym equipment made affordable for the individual's home budget. Of course, it won't be expensive gym quality. For me, it serves it's purpose for the 30 to 60 minute of usage on the days I use it. If there is looseness, it's the top leg attachment which is designed that way. Any other looseness is probably from the ineptness of the one who put it together. I especially like the curve of the bench because it keeps my legs out of the way when I do dumbbell exercises. The bench is not perfect but it is adequate. Satisfied for these past 11 years, especially with the addition of my squat rack. PS: This is not for heavy lifting.
