Ebay have 20% fitness gear code i'd like to take advantage of. I'm looking for a beginner gym bench, not looking to spend too much.
My requirements are:
Adjustable.
Powder coated (will be stored outside).
Compact (I live in an apartment).
I am 82kg 179cm.
Optionally it has wheels so i can easily wheel it around when i need it.
Lots on ebay for under 100 but unsure of their quality. Any experiences from anyone?

what code?
Don't go too cheap - you wouldn't want an unintentionally "collapsible" set!
Cheap ones are often too narrow - given your frame especially. They're also quite narrow and unstable when pressing.
Keeping it outside? Buy a can of lanolin (any brand) from supercheap, spray the internal metal of the frame you can reach (they come with a little internal spraying tube, after that you'll never have to spray it inside again. For the exterior, buy a can of silicone, spray all the external surfaces. You'll have to repeat this application every few months, but it will keep it rust free.
i dont have experience with ebay benches but so in squat racks so I would say this, they normally look bigger in pictures than what they normally are. Have a look at the dimensions to make sure it is suitable.
