The bench is in perfect condition but this model was built with a design flaw. The back pad wasn't in the same plane as the seat pad.
It was 5/8" low where it rests on the frame and the seat pad is 5/8" lower than the back pad.
It was seriously uncomfortable in the flat position. This was about the only issue stated in the Amazon reviews.
I leveled the back pad last night. Simple fix. 1 cut to the right board, wood glue, rest 85lbs of plates on it for an hour and drive 4 screws.
I'll be raising the seat pad today. 4 bolts. No biggie.
