This bench is perfect for use in the Hobby Room, as well as for a small workbench for the shop. This bench far exceeds my quality expectations, both in materials and looks. While the shipping carton weighs in a a solid 120lbs, because it is so expertly packed, with plenty of styrofoam padding, and each part is in a plastic bag to help prevent scratches, though being so nicely powder coated, I can't imagine it getting scratched, it is easily opened so you can tote the parts individually if needed. The parts are all labeled with both the part name, and any directional info needed for assembly. The directions are easy to follow, and the parts fit together perfectly, it even comes with a bag of one each of the hardware. The bags that contain the nuts and bolts, as well as anything else needed, are clearly marked. Oh, it even comes with a magnetic Philips screwdriver, and a wrench with an open end as well as a box end, and they are the ONLY tools I used for assembly. While it may be nice to have someone help with the assembly, I was able to put it together entirely on my own, in about an hour or so. The work surface is made of real wood that is laminated to form a butcher block like 1 1/2" thick, nicely varnished work surface. The peg board is made of steel, not the brown junk sold at the big box home improvement centers, and it comes with a nice assortment of hooks. While this may not hold up to having an engine or transmission dropped on it, it is perfect for light to medium duty shop work, as well as for using in your home. Do not hesitate purchasing this bench, you will not be disappointed. I honestly see this bench lasting for my lifetime, and beyond.

Bought this bench on black friday for 129.00. Quality is great, for that price I wish I had bought two of them. Only issue was it was missing the 4 screws to mount the power strip, called sams and they're sending them. Just wish the other style workbench would go on sale for that price.

Well worth the money,I had been looking around for a good workbench for about a month. I almost bought one at lowes but I really didn't like the way it was made. I decited to look at sam's & they had one at the store I really liked but it was a little big for the space I was wanting to put it in,so i looked at sams.com & found this one WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!! I loved the way it's built very sturdy. The only thing that gave me trouble was the drawers the sliders are a pain to get in right but once there in they work very well. I couldnt be happier with my purchase I went to sams lastnight & bought the two door roll around cabinet very happy with it also.

This is an excellent, sturdy workbench. The description did not specify the wood used in the top. Mine appears to be inch and a half thick maple with a nice, thick finish. The instructions suggest a two person assembly but I was able to manage on my own. It was a two-Highlife job. The shelf is beefy enough to actually hold stuff!

I’ve been looking at this item online for over 2 years. I read the reviews and thought they were to good to be true so I hesitated and decided not to purchase this bench. I did not want to have to deal with returning it if it didn’t live up to its description. 3 weeks ago I visited my local club and was surprised to not only see it on display but also find it in inventory. Bought one on impulse, brought it home with the help of my son (it is heavy) and to my amazement it was quit simple to assemble. The fit, finish and quality of this product is outstanding. My only regret is not buying one sooner. It really deserves 6 stars. An exceptional value. Don’t be like me, don’t hesitate buy one now.

What a great bench for the money. I was very surprised when I put it together how well built and sturdy it is. It took me about 1 ½ hours to put it together and only had to make one adjustment to make it all fit together; I had to loosen all the draw hangers, slide the draws in and they tighten it all up again. The draws are perfect now. This bench is in a spare bedroom as a general use bench, the wife even likes the way it looks in there. If the size works for you, buy one of these!

I've been looking for a while and this bench was the best price I've seen with a hard wood top. When I open the box I thought, I could use this in the kitchen. It's that nice. The peg board got my often used tools off the bench so I am a lot more organized. The light is an added plus.

All parts where here, no damage to any of the parts. Here is a tip. The peg board being metal the hooks don't stay in place. I used 6" white plastic wire ties & looped them in the whole on each side of the hooks & just pull them tight . Then cut off the extra in the back of the peg board . The hooks will now stay in place & won't fall off the peg board .

I do not usually enjoy assembling things, however this time was different. Everything was numbered and labeled too make this project fun to put together. The correct amount of bolts and nuts was nice. The labeling took all the guess work out. I am finishing and stopped to think "this was fun and easy", never enjoyed assembling something as much as this. Very good quality and much thought put into it. Have already told my friends. thanks.

Very pleased with my purchase. The overall quality is very good. The wood top is very solid, and I like the metal pegboard back. Drawers are OK but could be deeper for more capacity. And the top shelf could be wider too, but I like the front lip on it. It took my girlfriend and I 3 hours to put this together. Not bad considering. It does take a second person to hold components, especially when first putting the legs onto the top. Directions were pretty good, but drawings/sketches could have been clearer for the drawers and back. I put a couple of components on backwards, quickly realizing it was wrong and "figured it out" within 5 minutes, so not a biggie. Construction is very solid, even for an amature putting it together. I like that the leveling feet were easily adjusted (using the provided wrench) after it was sitting there with drawers full and tools on the backboard. I had to raise the front feet to keep the drawers from "self opening". They slide very easily though, which is a good thing!
