I ordered this bench thinking that for [$]I could get a cheap but somewhat reliable bench. What I received was a slapped together bench with many defects. The workmanship is very poor. The first bench that was delivered to my home was defective due to the poor quality of the carton that Fisch ships the item in. The carton was falling apart when it arrived at my home. The bench top had a major gap in the surface wood. This was simply poor workmanship. As soon as I reconized this problem I sent the workbench back.

I recieved a replacement bench a couple weeks later. Again the carton was in poor condition. The workbench top had two major gaps in the wood. It was almost laughable how rediculously sloppy the workmanship was. This bench is made in China. Fisch should be ambarrassed to put their name on this product. The wood is very cheap and pressed together. The bench wreaked of chemicals from the eurathane used on the wood. It stunk up my entire basement and it got all over my hands. The predrilled holes for screwing the drawer together were drilled in the wrong place.

This thing is not worth your time and it certainly not worth your money.

This workbench is absolute junk. Mine came cracked on the top. If you try to use the bench dogs to clamp down a large item, it spreads the crack even wider. I'm afraid if I clamp down hard on anything, it'll pull the bench into two pieces. The shelf and drawer bottom were both warped. The drawer bottom so warped it couldn't be used. The bench smelled bad from urethane. It was so bad I had to move the bench outside, it was stinking up my shop. The vises both bind up when you try to screw them in, or out.

The packing for shipping was also shoddy. The box was falling apart by the time it got here. The only way I could send it back would be to buy a new box and packing materials and repack it for shipment.

The bench is now used in the back yard by my wife as a planting bench, but It won't last long. It'll be going to the dump on my next trip.

This is a very nice starter bench. It shipped fast and was a breeze to assemble. The quality and fit of all parts was excellent. Has as many features as a higher priced model and half the cost. Very satisfied.
