Product Description

Since the first day Grizzly® started, we have been using these Maple Workbench Tops in our shipping and service departments. We estimated that we have over 200 tops in use and expected them to be in service probably for the next 50 years! Our workbench tops are made of solid 1 3/4" USA grown hard rock (sugar) maple strips that are laminated to each other and then coated with food-safe Durakryl finish. The tops, bottoms and all edges are sealed and the appearance is clear, satin smooth, low sheen and natural in color. There is no odor to the finish and they can be cleaned like any other counter surface using soap and water, bleach or nail polish remover. Build your own workbench using our excellent selection of tops. Our optional adjustable SHOP FOX® legs are extremely heavy-duty allowing you to customize your workbench size according to your needs.

2.0 out of 5 stars Looks good but was dinged when I got it., August 29, 2007

I got one of these from Grizzly for a workbench I am building. It was shipped by New Penn Motor Express. When it arrived I helped the driver unload it. I noticed several dings on the cardboard. I thought it would not be enough to damage a hard maple benchtop and I was in a hurry to get it into the house. I did not note the damage on the BOL. When I unwrapped the top I was dismayed to see damage in several places, several of which I thought were significant. I think I would have to hit it as hard as I could with a framing hammer to do the same damage. I realized I was out of luck because I had signed off on the BOL. After e-mailing photos of the damage to Grizzly they offered to send me a $50 gift certificate.

Other than the damaged places the top does look nice---no damage would have rated five stars. If you get anything from Grizzly or that has been shipped by New Penn, I recommend that you check it carefully for damage before signing off on the BOL.

1.0 out of 5 stars Had high hopes for this workbench top, October 6, 2007

This review is from: Grizzly G9915 Solid Maple Workbench Top 72" Wide x 30" Deep x 1-3/4" Thick (Misc.)

My wife purchased this workbench top for me with the shop fox leg system a couple of years ago for my garage workshop.

Unfortunately, within 6 months, the top had bowed to the point it was measurable, and now, 2-3 years later, the top is unuseable for doing any carpentry work on, as the center of the top is about 1/4" lower than the outer edges. Placing any large pieces on the workbench requires me to shim the middle of the piece to get it square, and I'll be replacing this top soon with a box/mdf top instead.

I found this bowing to be very unusual, due to the laminated nature and thickness/weight of the benchtop, and as such, I'm wondering if it's the combination of the workbench top and the shop fox legs that somehow puts a strain on the top, causing it to warp.

Also, my workshop is in my garage, in Texas heat/humidity, and it's conceivable that humidity changes somehow cause the bending... my second workbench, which is simply reinforced Birch veneered plywood hasn't exhibited the same problem

As with one of the previous reviewers, my workbench top also arrived scarred/nicked, although I wasn't overtly worried about it since it was pretty much a cosmetic issue and this top was destined for a shop, not a kitchen counter.

I'm sad this top didn't work out for me, as I had intended it to be the centerpiece of the shop, around which everything else was arranged.

2.0 out of 5 stars Box Very Damaged, Didn't Open, March 21, 2008

The top I received looked as though it had been through a war. They either need to change shippers or package this product so it can be shipped more than a couple of blocks.
I had this product shipped twice!! The first was returned, the second I didn't even bother taking it off the truck.
When I contacted Grizzly they suggested I buy it from a local source. In other words take your business elsewhere. I find it incredible that a company that ships products all over the world can't seem to package it properly so that it will arrive in reasonable condition. The "Shop Fox" supports I bought with this were in TERRIBLE shape! A local merchant says Shop FOX is owned by Grizzly and they sluff off their damaged or unsaleable products through Grizzly. I have ordered the supports through a local merchant. We will see if they arrive directly from Shop Fox in good condition.Shop Fox H2612 Super Heavy-Duty Workbench Leg System
