ACORN Wooden Workbench - Handmade Heavy Duty Work Table - Made From Construction Grade Timber (4ft)

Have just assembled this after ordering just after xmas. So far very pleased, easy to assemble, good quality wood that feels very sturdy. Looks great in the workshop

Use for general workshop tasks

I needed a simple but sturdy workbench for my garage, for home DIY and general woodworking, which wouldn't matter if it got bashed about, but could stand up to that sort of treatment. This unit fits the bill perfectly. Built with unfinished but thick kiln dried pine, when put together (20-30 mins), it stands very solid on the floor.Just one minor comment... there are two smaller wood braces, which get screwed to the back legs... two screws go through the pre-drilled holes on the side of the brace, and a single screw goes in along the narrower side via a longer pre-drilled hole. The screws provided are not long enough for these two longer hole locations, barely biting into the wood.Everywhere else, perfect. Recommend this bench for the money. Decided to finish in Danish Oil to give it some extra protection. Next task, add a side vice... simple enough. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Update - decided to buy a second smaller bench (with drawers), with MDF top. Just as sturdy, but would probably have preferred the solid timber top as before... as using for heavy-ish bench drill press and bandsaw. Even though the top is thick mdf, there is slight sagging in the middle, which could be corrected with extra timber support underneath. Also, because of drawers/mdf top, noise is transmitted more than had it been a timber top. Just a point to consider. Still very good units though.Update Aug 2022 - now that I've used this workbench for some time, a small update. The bench continues to be very solid and used almost daily. I've installed an Irwin 7" vice, quite cheap on Amazon, and added wooden jaws extending 1" either side. The only downside I noticed with the bench was that the top, made up of several sturdy slats, was quite uneven, causing work to wobble. Still a preferable worktop to an MDF one IMHO for supporting heavier work. Decided to level the top. You'll need a no.5 hand plane, so not wanting to spend a lot, I bought the Spear & Jackson one for only £30. Well made and great for the money. Took the best part of a day to level the top down, but so much worth the effort... a 'really' good workbench now!

I am a simple Female DIY’er, And not an expert in this field, but I found the quality of this workbench very good and re ome fable.The instructions are a little hard to read, as things are written in sentences rather than bulleted or numbered instructions. It should prove no problem as illustration of the finished product is clear and ready drilled screw holes on the pieces.I followed their very good advice on just adding a little oil, as no other treatment is required or even recommended.If I am allowed a niggle, I would have preferred the use of bolts to connect the legs and top rather than screws, but I am sure you experts out there will tell me that it may not the best solution.All in all I am over the moon.Warning: Wait time was very long probably due to COVID19, but it was worth it.

A cracking bench, simple to assemble if you've got a bit of practical skill. Stable in use and looks hard wearing.

Whilst I was trying to sell my house, everybody asked if I was leaving the workbench as it looked so good. Worth the time in building it, and on top of that I love it too

This is brilliant value for money. It's so sturdy. I use it as a work bench in the garage and for putting plants. Easy to assemble as its labelled and they send the instructions to your phone when purchased. I would recommend a power screwdriver to make it a bit easier on your hands, but it is double with a hand screwdriver. Its delivered without a box, (make sure you're in to receive or arrange someone to be there) which I find is an added bonus so you dont have to get rid of bulky cardboard and horrid polystyrene! Excellent all round.

I bought this for my husbands birthday. It is really strong and sturdy, very heavy and well made. It’s not been treated but that’s not a problem he’ll do it. Very quick delivery very very pleased with it
