Title: Not impressed
Review: I used this bench for a little over 9 months.The back piece was misaligned when I received the bench, causing me to lean a little to the left when lying back on it.The plywood in the seat began breaking after about 3 months. It has little support from the steel frame of the bench.The frame began swaying back and forth at the joint that connects the bench to the front feet after about 6 months of use. That probably was partly due to my using a little more than the maximum rated weight on the leg attachment (I used 160 lbs, max was 150).I was not impressed with the design of this bench or the quality of the materials used in it. I stopped using it when it seemed like a safety hazard to continue using.Aside from going over the max weight on the leg attachment, I went easy on the bench, trying to keep it in workable shape. I never lifted dumbbells heavier than 80 lbs, and at 160 lbs I was hardly putting more than average strain on the bench.
Is the review positive or negative?
