Are the dumbbell platforms supposed to be completely even? In mine, one is almost half an inch higher. Everything else is level.

Mines were uneven also, the cause of this is because the holes that are drilled out on the legs are symmetrical on both sides, causing the stand to be somewhat crooked, i just assembled mine and am pissed off, i cant believe they charge the amount for this stand, this stand is worth more like $40 if you ask me.

the platforms were the hardest to even out. Mine aren't completely level either, but I ended up having to loosen them up to adjust them and hold them in place as well while tightening. As long as the straps that hold the original base on is tight, you won't need to worry about the half inch, the dumbbells will lock in and hold just fine.

No, but I had to loosen all of the bolts, then even it out and tighten it back up. The platforms were uneven. I had to hold them in place while tightening.

Hey Frank I'm at work now, but I'm 99% sure they are even. I'll get back to you if I'm wrong.

Mine were initially not level. I had to loosen the two platforms and then tighten the crossbar that holds them together. Next, I tightened the platforms; paying close attention to keep their levels even. A little bit of a pain but much more aesthetically pleasing. I do not think having one platform higher than the other will pose any problems other than looks as long as everything feels solid.

Yes, they are supposed to be even, but there is enough room for error to make them uneven as there are no guides/grooves to ensure they fit they way they are supposed to. So a little bit of care and tweaking is needed.

I have had them for about a month and a half and been doing p90x with them. I have had no problem with them and no injuries. I would not drop them but on the other hand you shouldn't drop any dumbbells. I am glad I bought them.

I'm not 100% sure! I think if the dumbbells are flipped over, you should be okay! They just slide off if they are in the position to switch them...at least that is what I have experienced!

suz ... if I understand your question correctly ... I moved the footplates manually to be level heighth, and measured from inner edge of left plate to inner edge of right plate ... 6" apart ... if I did not understand correctly, please clarify and I will try again

Wow, You've got legs that aren't straight and sturdy huh? Mine are very sturdy and very straight. The griddle is also perfectly level which I was not expecting. Do you have the lower tray put in correctly?

Mine is perfect.! It may not be leveled or some of the srckoos are not tightned all the way.

Not noticeable at all to me -- I really like this bench for dumbbell workouts. I'm 6 ft and 180 pounds and it supports me perfectly.

yes it is. Pretty close the the ones at the gyms, except a bit shorter. Works for me, but I only use the platform, no risers

It's normal. The rails don't always match perfectly. It happens on my machine all the time. You get used to itI should say that mine is a slight but noticeable bump though nothing that would interrupt my workouts. If yours is significant, check to make sure everything is locked down and if not, contact Bayou Fitness.

make sure that you are on the base circle when you start to adjust the pushrod,do you feel that lifters are springy when you adjust the pushrod,if not the lifters can be stuck in bottom if you have adjustit in wrong place Crister M

It is a fluke...I ordered several and they were all leveled. Yours must have warped...exchange it.

Bench is adjustable so height is fine, however your legs are not at 90 degrees and this is a big flaw in the design... You cannot complete a full crunch.. Pretty disappointing

I didn't have any problems with them...perhaps you can call the company....did you set them to your height? Perhaps you just set one leg higher than the other one?

You'd have to call them and ask. I've thought of it myself when I bought it, and it has holes for a second one, at least mine does. I was going to see if they'd send a new chin up bar if I claimed the one I had was warped, but after I got it I didn't find it necessary, and the one that's there I occasionally bang my head on when racking and unracking a squat, so it'd be an issue every time you got into the rack even for average height. The overall structure of the unit is pretty good without an extra chin up bar. I've had 500lbs racked without problem, and I've also done dips with my 330lb body on it by placing two barbells across the safety pins with no complaints, I've also turned the existing chin bar there into an adjustable lat/ab/tricept pull down cable machine by attaching pulleys to it. No complaints whatsoever. As long as you dont do plank pullup side twists with the bar, which would be hard to do with the rack, it will hold.

Your knees will touch when your arms are at about 90 degrees. I'm a little taller but, that's how it is for me. Works fine for me as that's all the lower I need to dip anyway. That being said, I do wish they were a few inches taller, just for more clearance from the floor. Good piece of gear though with lots of uses. Totally happy with the bars!

What I do is tilt the dumbbells at about a 45 degree angle so I can set them on my lap. That way the locking mechanism doesn't really dig in in an uncomfortable way. Maybe that'll work for you too?

I had this problem with other scales, come to find out it was due to soft or uneven flooring, like wood or linoleum. I had to go to a room that had hard (ceramic or marble) flooring, in my case our foyer. Once I did that it was accurate. Even small tiles will cause inconsistencies as you place your scale. I have even used our garage concrete just to make sure the #'s were right.
