this and today,03/14/14, I spent about 5 to 5 1/2 hours putting together by myself. The directions were a little backwards as the steps 1 thru whatever was in the middle of the manual, when it should have been in the front. Stripped out 2 screws. Had extra screws left. Overall, it went together quite well and am impressed with the finished product.

This is the best purchase I have made in a very long time. Fantastic addition to my workshop / garage. The top alone is worth the money. It is handsome, too. I have been using mine in my garage for about a year. I have had zero problems with it, and I roll it around all the time and have permanently mounted a vice, a grinder, and a radial arm saw to the surface with big lug screws (yes screws, no nuts). The work surface is about 1 3/4 inches thick, very solid, with a really nice finish. The finish is so nice, in fact, that you will hesitate to do any work on it for fear of messing it up, BUT, after a year of hard use I can tell you that it holds up great. Yes there are some scuffs and marks, but I throw hammers and parts on it all the time. The stainless steel front is also nice, and so far I have not so much as scratched it, even though I lean stuff against it and bump it with stuff all the time. The back and sides are an industrial finish that also has nary a scratch so far. This is a well designed unit. The ONLY thing that anyone can say negative about this unit is the assembly required. It is quite tedious to put together. If you do not have a battery operated drill / screwdriver then take some of the hundreds of dollars you save on this and buy one to use when you put it together. I am something of a handyman and it took me several hours to assemble. Not difficult, but tedious. Each drawer has to be assembled, and there are a bunch of drawers. I love mine, and will eventually buy another.

For the price I thought this was a great deal so I made the purchase This was delivered in 2 long flat boxes on a pallet, which of course the delivery guy could not take with him. The packaging was mildly damaged but the issue was that a few pieces were bent/damaged. Keep in mind this is fairly heavy duty so took awhile to shape back into place. If you are semi handy and the damage is not excessive it can be done. The idea of packing this back up to return was daunting, so I fixed/repaired as best I could. Took awhile to put together but solid bench.

It will take a minimum of 3 hours to assemble!!! Use power tools. Great quaility, the drawers on he right hand side could be larger if they went with 6 instead of 8. The top is solid. Excellent chest when your 56" tool chest starts to overflow. A bargain for the money. Don't hesitate!!!

We are involved in professional drag racing and are used to seeing tool carts for $3,000 and way up prices, granted they are a little bigger, but basically the same thing, and granted they are already assembled, but if you have a couple hours this is EASY to assemble and it a killer product. We have 2 of them in the shop now that can also be put into the transporter and used at the track! This would even be better than a stand up tool box! We put some rubber matting on top, and it finished out awesome!

I was very happy with the quality and function. I bought mine a couple of weeks ago and dreaded assembling it, but went for it today. I was able to complete assembly in two hours (most of the time was spent assembling the drawers). Drawer fronts are a little thin, but will work great in the attempt to organize my garage.

Once the million pieces are put together, the result is a nice product. Typical of asian metals (junk) the fasteners are not very forgiving of slight mis-alignments with your tools, but otherwise, well thought out and a nice addition to the workshop.

I am very happy with the Workbench. Although not as heavy gauge metal as I would have liked, it will more than do as a home garage workbench. I was very impressed with the packing and the instructions. No dents or major dings and if a person will just follow the instructions and not get in a hurry, it will go smoothly. No need to over tighten the screws and bolts, hand tight works fine. I was surprised that the doors line up so well, they are a bit tight to pull out at first, but once you get tools in them and use it a little, no problem. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to a friend.

This exceeded my expectations at a glance it may look cheap and flimsy, but this thing is as heavy duty as they advertise. The wood workbench is the heaviest component. i was very surprise to see that it was solid wood and not compressed wood. The frame is very well built, the instructions are very simple to follow. Although it may take a couple of hours to assemble this workbench was well designed and constructed.

'Some assembly required' would be an understatement. This product comes in two flat boxes with an overall weight exceeding 300 lbs. assembly is required for the bench sides, top and bottom, and all 12 drawers. I am a professional and total assembly took 4 hours. Would I do it again? Absolutely, because the final product is well worth the time and effort!
