    Steven,

    Poplar is a light hardwood, there isn’t a lot of difference in base weight between it and SYP. While total weight is an important aspect of stability the design of the base allows a lighter bench to be very strong and stable. Think of triangles vs. squares, the base design is pretty ingenious.
