If tightening the nuts/bolts doesn't help, then try taking the legs off and try putting something in between the polyester parts where they meet. I have heard some use grease, I have used teflon powder (on a lower panel/pedal rail squeak). Or if you want to get fancy, some thin felt or cloth.

Self adhesive nameboard felt between the legs and bench sides. Put rubber buttons (or felt) on the tops of the front legs so that the bench top sits on the legs instead of the rails.
Tighten bolts nice and snug.

Good idea Don. I KNEW there had to be a use for that self adhesive nameboard junk, I mean felt. Problem is, it is red. I suggest using a felt color to match the bench (black or brown) and stick it on with double sided tape.

If you have no felt or grease at hand, just take soap. Works great, too.
