I have two -- a cheapo Danskin one that was a gift many moons ago and a nice solid Gold's Gym one with a rack for an Olympic bar that I got around the time STS came out.
But unless I'm lifting on my own, I usually just pull out my step and use that as a bench -- neither bench is easy to move (wheels! What a great idea!) and they're both tucked off in the corners of my workout space, away from where the dumbbells and other equipment I typically need are.

My SO have a weight bench (like Dbclark described) that I could certainly use, but where it is placed I can't watch the tv, so I mostly reach for my full step and multiple risers. I'd probably use it, if I was doing paper workouts.

I had one that was part of a squat rack combo but just replaced it with a PowerBlock adjustable bench. Love it! Feels much more solid than my old bench.
What prompted me to buy this one was that it's used in Beach Body's Hammer & Chisel. BUT I am not stepping up on it like they do in the dvds! http://www.powerblock.com/prod_homeuse_SportBench.php I bought it from Wayfair on ebay with free shipping. Kathy

yes - the danskin bench and barbell set - I posted about my find in this thread: Danskin Weighted Bar Barbell and Adjustable Dumbbells + Bench in the Equipment/Gear forum.
It doesn't have wheels, though - that would've been nice. I keep it very close to where I work out and it takes up a small footprint when it's folded up. it folds in the upright position. when I do have it out, I love it. instead, I've been using my step co. step as a weight bench since I don't lift heavy enough to warrant a rack. my danskin bench doesn't have a rack either, but I like that you can easily change it to an incline, and it's nicely padded.

I got a Weider model about 18 years ago when I was doing Joyce Vedral's book workouts. It's on the porch waiting for someone to use it again.
