The design of this thing makes it unable to handle large people, and I don't mean fat people, I just mean men or tall women. It is cheap and it definitely shows. The construction is so inaccurate that merely sitting on it puts a lot of pressure on just some particular screw. That combined with the cheap materials used make this bench only a valid choice for light people with a tight budget.
The last straw for me was when a few months in this thing started making noises. It's not even something that you can fix with lubrication, because it's the wooden parts bending that make the sound. Trying to play music with a bench that screeches is a uniquely frustrating experience that I would not wish for my greatest enemy.
And also, the padding gets messed up in like 4 months, of course.
