Appoggio 281 Adjustable Bench

Built for a studio putting forty people through a class each evening, Appoggio 281 has a ladder adjustment you can change one-handed while the other hand still holds a dumbbell.

Adjustment is a ladder-and-pin arrangement — slower than a gas strut, and it has nothing in it to fail. 320 kg rating covers user plus load.

Steel & Vinyl. The pad is high-density foam over ply, vinyl-covered and stitched rather than stapled, on a frame that tapers at the shoulder for a wider grip. Nothing about it is glued shut, so a worn bushing stays a ten-minute job.
