What brand is the best for weight bench?

I am very concern that if I don't like it, I won't use it. I won't like it if it doesn't feel stable, comfortable, and not easy to adjust position.

I want gym quality weight bench if there is such a thing for flat/incline/decline bench. I will invest money for it.

Any recommendation on brand?

Lunges Tricep Dips Box Step Ups Jump Squats Inclined Push-ups Declined Push-ups Scissors Squat Thrusts Crunches, (Legs on Step) Possibly other things as well. You might need a few more risers as you call them, to increase the effectiveness of ...
