BenchK 700 Series Buying Guide: Which Model Fits You?

Hands-on buying guide for all BenchK 700 series wall bars. Model-by-model breakdown with prices, specs, and clear recommendations for every budget.

BenchK Demo 7 min read

Eight models. Prices ranging from $665 to $2,735. Same base wall bar in every single one. The BenchK 700 series lineup is genuinely confusing if you haven’t spent hours comparing spec sheets — and I have, so you don’t need to.

The short version: you’re always buying the same BenchK 700 frame with 9 beech rungs. The only question is which attachments bolt onto it. That decision depends on how you train, how much wall space you have, and honestly, how much you’re willing to spend on steel accessories that you could buy separately later.

TL;DR

  • Just want wall bars? Get the BenchK 700. $665, done.
  • Want pull-ups? The 721 ($1,069) with the fixed 6-grip bar is the sweet spot for most people.
  • Serious home gym? The 732 ($1,869) — convertible pull-up bar + dip station covers 90% of upper body work.
  • Money is no object? The 733 ($2,735) adds a bench, but I’d argue most people don’t need it.
  • Skip the 711 unless you specifically prefer a wooden pull-up bar aesthetic over steel functionality.

Every BenchK 700 Series Model Compared

Here’s the full lineup. Every model starts with the same BenchK 700 base frame — the differences are purely in attachments.

The “B” suffix means black, “W” means white. Same specs, different powder coat.

What Do You Actually Get With the Base 700?

Every model in the series shares these core specs:

  • Frame: Powder-coated steel with 9 solid beech wood rungs
  • Rungs: Hand-oiled with two coats of organic linseed oil (food-grade safe)
  • Width: 67 cm (26⅜”)
  • Height: 240 cm (94½”)
  • Minimum ceiling height: 250 cm (98½”)
  • Max user weight: 150 kg / 330 lbs
  • Unit weight: 20 kg / 44 lbs
  • Warranty: 10 years on metal components

The beech rungs feel genuinely premium. Each oval slot in the steel frame has a plastic bush that protects the wood and cleans up the look. This isn’t a gym-rat product bolted together in a garage — it’s designed to live in your living room without looking out of place.

That 250 cm minimum ceiling height is a hard requirement, by the way. I’ve seen people try to make it work in 240 cm rooms and it doesn’t. Measure first. Check the installation guide for wall mounting specifics.

Fixed vs. Convertible Pull-Up Bar: Which Should You Choose?

This is the single most important decision in the 700 series, and it splits the lineup cleanly in two.

Fixed steel pull-up bar (721, 722, 723):

  • Bolts permanently to the top of the frame
  • 6 different grip positions — wide, narrow, neutral, angled
  • Rock solid, zero wobble
  • Cannot be repositioned

Convertible pull-up bar / PB3 (731, 732, 733):

  • Hooks onto the rungs — movable to different heights
  • Same 6-grip design as the fixed version
  • Flip it 180° and it becomes a barbell rest (rated to 200 kg)
  • 4 felt-lined hooks protect the beech wood from scratching
  • Costs roughly $170 more than the fixed equivalent

My take: if you do any barbell work at all — squats, overhead press, barbell rows — the convertible bar pays for itself immediately. You’re getting a pull-up bar and a squat rack attachment for $170 extra. That’s a no-brainer.

If you never touch a barbell and just want rock-solid pull-ups, the fixed bar on the 721 is simpler and slightly more rigid. No wrong answer, but the convertible bar is the more versatile choice.

Do You Actually Need the Bench?

The bench (included in the 723 and 733) adds roughly $700-870 to the price. That’s a lot for a bench.

Here’s what it does: it hooks onto the wall bars at various angles for decline, flat, and incline work. You can do bench-supported rows, ab work, hip thrusts, and a bunch of exercises that would otherwise require a separate piece of equipment.

Here’s my honest assessment.

Get the bench if:

  • This wall bar setup is your entire home gym — no other equipment
  • You want decline sit-ups and back extensions (the bench excels at these)
  • You have the budget and don’t want to piece things together later

Skip the bench if:

  • You already own an adjustable bench (most do)
  • You’re primarily into calisthenics and bodyweight work
  • You’d rather put that $700-870 toward dumbbells or a kettlebell set

I’d skip it for most people. A $200 standalone adjustable bench does 90% of the same exercises. The BenchK bench is beautifully made and stores flat against the wall bars, which is a genuine space-saving advantage — but it’s hard to justify the premium unless tidiness is a top priority.

What Each Add-On Actually Costs You

Breaking down the incremental cost of each attachment helps clarify where the value is:

Going from…To…You add…Incremental cost
700711Adjustable wood pull-up bar~$304
700721Fixed steel 6-grip pull-up bar~$404
700731Convertible steel pull-up bar (PB3)~$574
721722Dip bar~$630
731732Dip bar~$630
722723Bench~$866
732733Bench~$866

Notice the dip bar adds about $630 regardless of which pull-up bar track you’re on. That feels steep for a dip attachment, but BenchK’s dip bars are overbuilt — heavy steel, wide grip, rated to the same 150 kg as the frame. They also store flat against the wall bars when not in use.

B or W? Choosing Your Finish

Both the black (B) and white (W) finishes use the same powder-coat process on steel with identical beech wood rungs. This is purely aesthetic.

Black (B) disappears into darker walls and looks more “gym.” It shows dust more but hides scuff marks better. Works well in dedicated workout rooms, basements, garages.

White (W) blends into lighter interiors and reads more as furniture than fitness equipment. It’s the better choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and spaces where you want the wall bars to feel integrated rather than bolted on.

In my experience, white outsells black roughly 2:1 for home installations. People buying these for a dedicated gym space lean black. If you’re putting it in a shared living space, go white — your partner will thank you.

What About the Series 2 Instead?

The BenchK Series 2 (200-series) is the other main lineup, and it’s worth considering if:

  • Your ceiling is lower — Series 2 accommodates a wider range of ceiling heights
  • Your budget is tighter — Series 2 base models start lower than the 700
  • You want a different aesthetic — Series 2 has a slightly different frame profile

The Series 7 (700-series) is the flagship. It’s taller, has a more refined look, and the steel frame feels marginally more premium. But the attachment ecosystem is shared — the same PB3 pull-up bar, the same dip bar, the same bench all work across both series.

If you’re ceiling-limited or budget-constrained, Series 2 gets you into the BenchK ecosystem for less money without sacrificing the attachments that matter. Read our wall bars guide for a broader comparison of what’s available.

Who Should Buy Which Model

You do yoga, stretching, or physical therapy → BenchK 700 ($665) You don’t need attachments. The 9 rungs give you everything for stretching, hanging decompression, and rehab exercises. Add pull-up bar later if you change your mind. Check out wall bar exercises for routine ideas.

You want a basic home pull-up station → BenchK 721 ($1,069) The fixed 6-grip bar handles every pull-up variation. This is the model I’d recommend to anyone who asks “which one should I get?” without further context.

You lift weights and want versatility → BenchK 731 ($1,239) The convertible PB3 bar functioning as a barbell rest is a genuine differentiator. If you own a barbell, this pays for itself in saved space versus buying a separate squat stand.

You want the best all-around setup → BenchK 732 ($1,869) Convertible pull-up bar plus dip station. This combination covers pull-ups, dips, barbell work, and all the bodyweight exercises the wall bars already support. It’s the model I keep recommending to people building a serious home gym in a small space.

You want absolutely everything → BenchK 733 ($2,735) The 732 plus a bench. Beautiful, complete, and expensive. You’ll never need another piece of wall-mounted equipment.

What I’d Buy

The BenchK 732B. Black finish, convertible pull-up bar, dip station, no bench.

At $1,869, it covers pull-ups (6 grip positions), dips, barbell squats and presses (200 kg capacity on the bar rest), plus every wall bar exercise in existence. The convertible bar is the killer feature — nothing else at this price gives you a pull-up station and a barbell rest in one attachment.

I’d skip the bench and put that $866 toward a quality barbell and weight plates instead. A separate adjustable bench costs a fraction of BenchK’s integrated option and does the same job.

If $1,869 is too much, drop to the 721 at $1,069 — you lose the barbell rest and dips, but you keep the most important thing: a solid 6-grip pull-up bar bolted to premium wall bars that’ll last a decade.

Either way, you’re getting a piece of equipment that looks like furniture, trains like a gym, and carries a 10-year warranty on the steel. That’s hard to beat.
