Is it true what they say about the bench being in somewhat bad condition through the shipping process?

Mine came fine jut that over time the black scratches right off easily from the bar rest area, but when they ship it it's all In one box so you might get something scratched up I bent, I probably just got lucky.

I just got mine today. The Backrest Board has a small tear above the embroidered company logo which was sealed with heat-glue. I am going to contact the Manufacturer tomorrow to have it replaced. There were scratches and scuff marks towards the top of both (left and right) upright beams where a person would set a barbell; It's possible someone owned this before me and returned it. I was impressed with the packaging; Everything came in its own plastic bag; But perhaps thicker plastic would do a better job (if the scratches and scuffs were from transport). Everything 'else' looks brand new.

No. The bench was in great condition and complete (as shown in images) when I opened it up

Mine did come with some damage. The covering on one of the pads for the leg raises had a two and a half inch tear. The box had a hole of similar size on it upon arrival. Will call tonight for a replacement part.

I would not buy this bench. The bottom is not solid. It's a cheap piece of board that does not fit all the way across the bottom of the storage unit. My stuff falls out and you can see it hanging out. I even had a new piece sent to me thinking I got a bad one and the 2nd piece fit the same.

I had the same experience as John P below. I did not have any problems with damaged boxes, but do not know the shipping company.

As I'm simply not in a position to guarantee you the quality of the shipping, personally I wouldn't take a risk. Bar is truly amazing; it didn't arrive however in well secured box. My bar came with no damages nor any scratches

I haven't been able to get it to decline either. One of the reason I wanted a new bench is for the decline position so I'm thinking about writing to Amazon and either asking for my money back and complaining about the "false advertising" or find the company and ask them. I haven't been able to find the mother ship for this bench it looks like that will take some work.

They shipped in the same box for me.Expect the box to be in poor shape when it arrives, mine was all sorts of messed up, but the dumbbells were in fine condition.

The answer below is correct. Ours shipped in perfect condition, is sturdy and attractive. Remember, you have to put it together yourself.

When I ordered it, I received it in great condition. It was wrapped in a basic box with the pop-able padding, however the box that contained the picture frame had Styrofoam holding the frame in place. Nothing was harmed from shipping. Beware that after removing the frame, the mickey and minney on the bench are very fragile. After I unpacked that I accidentally dropped it on the ground and the bench cracked in half. I glued the bench with super glue and the crack was unnoticeable.

Good luck! My table showed up with the ends all beat up. I reported the situation to the company and never received a reply from them or Amazon. No longer buying furniture from Amazon.

No...there were small dings in a couple places. Nothing I would return it for, but you probably wouldn't have this issue if you bought something locally and picked it up or had it delivered. Packaging appears adequate, but it's obviously not up to the rigors of shipment.

I just received mine yesterday. The box was in perfect shape. Howevever, when opened, the tables edges were dented in 3 places.

I have had the furniture for a about 6 months now. I did not see any warranty informaiton shipped with it. The only bad thing I can say about this piece is that the cushions are white and they get dirty pretty easy. If they could provide a diffrent color that would be so much better. The furniture it self has been great and is really comfrotable. I love it!

I purchased it for my son, but I believe it does. We are very happy with the bench. The box was severely damaged during shipping but all the parts were there so it was ok. That is about the only negative thing I can say about the purchase. We absolutely love the bench.

No. There was no paperwork, plastic wrap or anything that might have made it a little more stable for shipping. I am in the process of moving so I haven't even set it up in the new place yet.

Unfortunately I only got to step two and discovered one of the stools was severely bent. This probably happened prior to packing since there was no apparent damage to the box. I returned and requested a refund. I am still looking for stools if you happen across some good sturdy ones :)

I paid 29. 99, my guess is that due to some complaints about damaged benches sent in only the box from the manufacturer, that they took extra care to package better. OR, it may come unassembled from other vendors? I know I pulled mine out of the box, opened the legs and it was ready to go. This is not a lightweight bench. There are other benches that cost more than this one, doubt that they could be better than this. I did see that a couple of the negative reviews were not for the product, but.due to packaging. Hope this helps.
