This bench is a decent value for the money. The 17 inch height is perfect for me and the wide pad supports my shoulders a lot better than other benches I've used. The pad has just enough grip for easy adjustments under the bar before a lift. The rollers also work well, so moving the bench in and out of the rack is no problem. My biggest complaints concern the potential durability of the pad and the finish on the front and back posts. The pad's light weight suggests it has a relatively thin plywood backing, so I guess time will tell whether it can hold up under heavy lifts. On the back post, it looks like a grinder was accidently passed along one side after the post had been painted, exposing a ragged section of bare metal. The front post was also pretty scratched up, like it had been tossed into a bin against other metal parts before being packaged and shipped. The defects one the posts are too obvious to have simply been overlooked. Unfortunately, they make me wonder about Titan's committment to quality. It's clear that whoever made and packaged these parts didn't take much pride in their work.
