Good value for what you get but could come defective.

Looked forward to giving this to my boyfriend for his birthday. He opened it today and we noticed there’s what appears to be some kind of burn marks on the knurling. $100 for a barbell is a great price especially considering how much weight this holds but I’m disappointed it came like that. Had it been some dings to the actual metal I’d just write it off but I’d like to be able to keep the knurling in tact for as long as possible, not damaged right out of the box. 2 stars.. I’ve reached out to them hopefully they make it right.
