Completely Customizable, Easy-to-Assemble Workbench System
This do-it-yourself system lets you create a bench that's the exact size you want--up to 8 by 4 feet--by just adding lumber (not included). Assembly is incredibly easy, thanks to the included, easy-to-follow instructions and cut lists. All you need is a powered screwdriver and a saw--no other tools are necessary. For added convenience, only straight, 90-degree cuts are required--no miters or angles--and all the hardware you'll need is included in the kit. When assembly is completed, the work surface height will measure approximately 36 inches (90 centimeters).Advanced Engineering Meets Strong, Durable Construction
Sturdy 2x4 framing and advanced engineering make this kit stronger and more stable than most other workbench solutions. In fact, each shelf will hold up to 1,000 pounds (400 kilograms). An added bonus, the materials are made of heavy-gauge resins and are impact- and solvent-resistant for long-term durability. Versatile Design for Potting Benches, Custom Shelving, and Storage Options
 With the Workbench Assembly Kit, you are no longer limited to a standard-sized potting bench--you can make a unit as small as 2 feet by 2 feet to use as a plant stand. In addition, you can use the included bonus 2x4basics ShelfLinks Kit to add shelving to the top or sides of your custom workbench (additional ShelfLinks kits sold separately). You can build custom workbench and storage solutions for your dorm room, garage, basement, shed, or home. Custom shelving will also add valuable storage space that fits your project requirements.Includes Clamps and Hooks for More Options
The kit comes with two moveable work clamps that attach to all corners of your work bench. Use them alone or in pairs to hold glued pieces together or to hold the end of a 2x4 while you saw. The kit also includes six 2x4basics ShelfLinks, which let you add shelving and storage options to your workbench. Four hooks--three single and one double multi-use--are also included. Use these innovative hangers as traditional hooks or simply use the slots for storing tools. The Workbench Kit is backed by a lifetime warranty. About Finley Products Inc: Creating Customizable Storage and Furniture
Family owned and operated, Finley Products Inc. began with the creation of the very first 2x4basics product, the ConverTable, an innovative outdoor bench that lets you create a picnic table that easily converts from a bench to a table and back again, without tools. Following the ConverTable's early success, Finley developed a line of products that allow everyone--from pros down to college students--to easily build furniture by just adding 2x4 lumber. Although Finley products can be found all over the world, the company's primary facility is located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and its primary manufacturing and distribution processes are completed either in the USA or Canada.

 So nice, I bought it twice! June 6, 2010
B. Hauber (NJ)
...one at our old house, didn't have the heart to disassemble when we moved, so we bought another for the new house. Build your own custom workbench for a fraction of the cost of prefab! You don't have to be a carpenter, but when my contractor saw it, he was so impressed he'll use it himself for future projects.
 Good work bench. June 2, 2010
Jerrell Strawn (Vicksburg, Ms United States)
Item provided with drywall screws; place them aside for a drywall job. Used 3" deck screws. Bench is 10' long so I supported the top shelf with 2x6 runners, bottom two shelves work fine with 2x4 runners. Each shelf decked with five 2x6's instead of plywood/particleboard. Makes bench mounted vise and grinder very stable.
 Tolerable for shelves, thumbs down for workbench May 7, 2010
E. Heidel (Mill Creek, WA USA)
I recently received the combo shelf and workbench kit. While the shelves were acceptable, though there was a good deal of slop, the workbench portion was entirely unsuitable (without some modification).
Problems I noticed...
1. {After speaking with a few other folks who have this product, I discovered that the problem with the screws is that I was missing the right bag o' screws. My instructions were photocopies with large amounts of smear and static, so I couldn't read the parts list very well, otherwise I would have known that I was missing the right screws. The ones I substituted were very similar to those which should have been provided. } The screw angle, combined with the one-size-doesn't-quite-fit-all screws provided, yields a very shallow (about 1/4" or less) insertion into the lumber. Given the screw angle and the softwoods (I was using fir) of the typical 2x4, this is highly untenable. {So, be certain that you were sent the correct screws (both types), and much of this problem should be resolved.}
2. The instructions are very minimal to say the least. I got photocopies of dubious quality. IKEA does better.
3. While trying to attach the 2x4's to the legs, there was an issue... If the leg was flat on the ground lumber side up, the screw holes were inaccessible on the ground. Reversed, there was nothing holding the 2x4 to the leg (thus it would fall to the floor or twist out of my grip and out of true before I could screw it in place). The leverage of a reasonable sized 2x4 (3') proved sufficient to tear out the shallow screws.
4. The assembly instructions call for the middle 2x4 to be attached via a single screw (see above re: tearing out). This is a particularly fragile situation considering the minimal size of the platform (on the leg) provided. This situation is made more ludicrous given that the instructions call for you to place the plywood sheet on the middle 2x4 BEFORE the frame (all 4 sides) is completely constructed.
5. On the shelves (the optional part with the workbench, and I would guess the regular shelf kits), there is too much space for the boards suggested. Even the sockets in the shelf brackets for the vertical 2x4's have too much room, though this is less of an issue once the boards are screwed in. Some folks might not have issues with this, but I am accustomed to building things nice and snug. The end result is that there is space between the boards, or you need to use shims or partial boards to fill out the extra. Also of note is that the instructions don't call for actually screwing the 2x4's in place on the middle or bottom shelf, so unless you shim or use boards that are slightly too long (which the instructions call for on the 'shorter' boards, but not the full length), again, you have slop.
6. Not enough screws. {Hard for me to judge whether this would be accurate if I had all the screws I was supposed to. I suspect it would have been fine.}
I was able to resolve the problems in various fashion. Fortunately, since I do quite a bit of woodworking, I have a good supply of clamps (3). With the aforementioned experience, I was also able to work with the minimal instructions by filling in the blank/missing steps myself (2). I provided my own, longer wood screws and used a few extra to provide additional stability (3, 4, 6). I completed the entire bottom frame first (4), then the top. This meant that I did not use the complete plywood sheet for the second shelf, but that was fine, since I wanted a spot for taller items anyhow. I screwed the boards in place for the shelves, and pushed them together tightly for a more solid, albeit more narrow, shelf (5).
I would also caution people that unless you get perfectly true 2x4's, you are in for a whole additional set of problems. Some of mine weren't quite right, which is fairly typical, so I dealt with some of those problems, but that was a lumber issue, not the kit.
Ultimately, I would have been happier getting a few more 2x4's, some brackets, and just doing the whole thing myself. This product is not something I can recommend.
Workbench Review May 3, 2010
R. Archer (San Jose, Ca, US)
Good Product. Advertisement though doesn't really state what you will receive, not real clear on the advertisement. You will just get the table legs and supports. No wood involved, So dont let the full workbench Pic fool you.
Otherwise, once you obtain the wood, Workbench works great and is very sturdy and level.
Highly Recommend.
Very Ver pleased April 25, 2010
Roger R. Lariviere
I haven't had the opportunity to go purchase the wood yet, but everything was delivered as it was described. The package was delivered prior to the delivery date.
