Oypla Folding Foldable Trestle Work Bench Workbench Portable 100kg

When assembled it is good to the money, it is the,assembly that is the problem, the instructions are rubbish and incorrect. The two legs come pre- assembled with the folding arms fitted, mine had been assembled incorrectly, rectifying is not easy as the pivot pins are star washed in place.

A good cheap item when needing a third hand but not for those heavy unbalanced items

This was very difficult to assemble as the instructions appeared to be a poor resolution scan of a small picture of some instructions. It was little better than “just put it together yeah?” The workbench, once you’ve assembled it, does what I need it do. I can clamp a piece of wood for sanding but it feels quite flimsy and I wouldn’t use it for anything heavy. I don’t think it would be stable enough to use for sawing up logs for example. It was cheap, I swore a lot during the assembly stage, but I can use it. That’s about it really.

Not very stable No I ok for very small jobs

Once I managed to get the work bench put together it worked absolutely fine. The putting together, on the other hand, is nightmarish. The single A4 sheet of instructions is useless, lacks information, and doesn't correspond with how the parts are shipped. Oypla need to rethink their instructions, or better yet actually bother to write some that aren't 4 dot points. The fact that I was able to put it together was a factor of my bloody-mindedness and willingness to keep trying. Good price, good product.

Arrived with a broken handle which I only discovered after assemblying the rest of it first. Too much hassle to disassemble and return. I also needed to use it right away as I had booked off work to do the DIY. In general it is good to use. However the broken handle us a pain. I would buy it again if needed but not from that supplier.

Arriving in a package about 10 x 10 x 60 cm, the workbench is made of 1.5 mm thick sheet metal for the braces and the legs are box section of about 12 x 12 mm. Assembly is easy, but ignore the first line of the instructions which tell you to screw the plates to the underside of the work surfaces. If you follow this advice you will have to unscrew them later so as to secure the plates to the assembled frame and then reattach them. It took me about 3/4 hour to assemble. Although the final article is reasonably sturdy, I would be worried to expect it to support a full 100 kg.A light bench which is useful as an additional support for large pieces, but if used for any substantial construction would not be robust. I would not expect it to survive more than a couple of years.

Firstly, the wood parts were dented and chipped. Then the instructions just has a roughly drawn final diagram where you have to try figure it out for yourself. It squeaks and rattles when you reel it in and out. But it seems sturdy enough for very light work. We will probably buy add on vice etc to make it better.
