    I'm jumping in again on the benches from Progress Tool and Supply
    like Mark who posted about trying to return his bench  I also had the
    impression that the bench (JA 500) I bought was solid wood. Since
    most benches are, this is a reasonable assumption.  In reality, my
    bench only has some wood trim. 

    However, since a semi-truck delivered it, and, as I said before I was
    unprepared for the delivery and had to sit with the bench outside for
    three hours until I found someone to come over and help me carry it
    in  they're shipped assembled and on crates. 

    Shipping was about $100.00.  I was disappointed when I got the bench
    and this was a present for a milestone birthday.  But, what am I
    gonna do?  Return in?  Pay another hundred in shipping?  Fight with
    them to make them pay it?  Crate it up again?  It doesn't make sense
    to pay return shipping  then I'd have paid $200.00 shipping on a
    $300.something item, and not had a bench after finally getting one
    after 12 years. 

    So Mark's not the only one.
