Has anyone come across a weight bench / bench press with a rack that folds and is also suitable for someone 100kg and 6ft 2?

Every single one i've found (sub £250) is either too small or can't handle the weight.
I've looked at all the normal places like ebay, amazon, sports websites but finding one in my price range doesn't seem possible so just wondered if i'm missing something obvious as the benches/weight limits all seem to be too small.

Any help appreciated.

My solution to this was to buy a flat bench and a pair of squat stands. Very easy to put to the side of the garage when not in use.

£170 for:

I'm 110kg and 6'3" and the stands will take up to 200kg.
Oh I hadn't thought of that. Great idea.

Is it stable when coming on/off?

The biggest issue is finding something in stock at sensible money!

That's the issue.

Even a mens health one on argos that comes with 50kg weights sold out nationwide for £130 and is plastered on ebay and facebook for double that.
