Up for auction is a full-length padded training/utility bench removed from Clemson Athletics facilities. It features a bright orange vinyl top over a rugged black wood frame with cross-bracing for stability. The underside shows solid construction, and the bench sits level and sturdy.

Condition: Structurally solid. Vinyl shows cosmetic wear including scuffs and a small tear/puncture (see close-ups). Frame has paint rubs/nicks consistent with institutional use.
