(Update)
Big shoutout to the customer service team. As per the issues stated below, was sent another bench. The differences were night and day. This one felt sturdy upon assembly. (Though, no instructions again. But it’s super simple, just unfold and lock in place with provided pins) Tested on a workout last night, I didn’t have the worry as I did with the last one. I’m going to chalk that last one up as a bad batch of plywood.
(Old) Assembly was easy, no instructions required. (Didn’t get any in the box anyway) Pushed in the seat to test sturdiness and I heard the crunching/cracking sound from the wood base. Not going to be using this if it can’t even take half my body weight, let alone ANY additional weight.
Great Customer Service.
