Customer Review: Review of the 2x4 Basics Workbench
Summary: 5 Stars
I began looking for a solid workbench some weeks ago as I relocated my garage workshop into my basement. The problem with workbenches is that the good ones cost a lot (for the jointers' benches, it can be [...]) and the cheap ones are REALLY cheap.
I spotted the 2x4 Basics workbench probably the same way you found this review. I went to Amazon, punched in Workbenches and there it was. I ordered the kit and went to Home Depot for wood. HD cut the wood right to size for me, I didn't even have to cut the 2x4s to trim.
First of all, the construction of the workbench goes really easily. You need two people, one to hold, one to screw it together. My wife and I put it together in about 20 minutes. The basic parts are the black plastic legs and 52 long screws. The instructions were fair (designed NOT to need to know a language) but on the 2x4 website, there is a cut list available that shows what you need to get to make a table of any size. the link for the cutlist is ([...]) at least at the time that I wrote this review. Since the bench will be rectangular, all the corners are 90 degrees so there's no math or engineering involved. The screw holes are angled so that the points of the screws will be buried in wood with no worries about sharp points protruding. The wood itself (2 x 4s and 1/2" plywood) is able to take the plastic implements they include but I believe they will also accept a proper metal clamp. I intend to cut holes to allow cables and plugs, may include a drop in cup for pencils and the like. I made the 6'x4' bench and it is excellent. The only thing I did not do that I had in mind was to use MDH for the top of the table, but I can always switch it out later if I want. That's an advantage. If you later need a different sized table, you just need to unscrew the screws, obtain the wood and you're good to go. For the 4x6, I spent [...] in wood, plus the cost of the kit itself. The 2x4s that I bought were premium wood studs. I needed 10 of the 2x4s and three of the plywood sheets. Haven't made the shelves yet, but I will sometime soon.
The result is a very solid table with two shelves. Because the table top is plywood, I will be drilling holes to accept bolts to clamp down my sanding belts, drill press and miter saw. All in all, it is exactly what I needed. If you are considering it, I suggest that you go ahead. Its really good, pretty easy to construct and you can adapt it without worry. If you don't wind up happy with what you've got, you can reconfigure it according to need.
Last, the table itself is attractive (or would be, except that plywood itself is not that attractive). I only point this out because I am now considering a number of the company's other products(tables, benches, etc). With a little work (paint mostly), I believe they will make attractive and durable outdoor furniture that will be easy to make and replace.
