No idea and I don't recommend you should risk your life to test it.

So you think this bench will be solid as a rock, seriously?

Ill test it with plates on it dude . Cant see why it wont be a solid bench its coming from a reputable seller on amazon has good reviews stating its solid. Not sure a company would be leaving themselves wide open like that with a degree of confidence in the product. As I said ill test it whats your prediction ?

8 KG boxed weight and 500 kg capacity , what is this bench made of ?

Specs on amazon are often wrong. You can use google image search to see if the same bench is anywhere else

Here is the pic of the alleged 8kg bench



Here is one on ebay which beside the orange trim looks identical.



Many of these factories would be outputting the same stuff.

So very similar looking spec listing too, with same steel type & thickness, but different max load stated. My guess is he might have got the 8kg weight wrong and is spoofing about the max load. I doubt it would fail at 500kg anyway, its not like its a cage or even a portable squat rack which will experience massive loads if a bar is dropped on them.
