Tools and Hardware Reviews of 2x4basics 14429 Workbench and Shelving Storage System with Hooks and Clamps
Customer Review: Nice, sturdy bench
Summary: 4 Stars
Assembly was easy, but you'd have to be pretty clever to assemble it by yourself. Get another person to help, if you can- another pair of hands go a long way. Other than that, it all just pops in place and screws together. I like the versatility of being able to buy/cut your lumber to your own preferences, for your bench to best fit your needs. All & all I'm quite happy with this bench kit. I'd have given it 5 stars if it was $10-$15 cheaper. Quality lumber isn't exactly free, so this isn't the cheapest workbench you can find. Even though the build quality will be better than a Chinese-made workbench of equal $$, you DO have to build it yourself. Still, I would buy again. And probably will.Customer Review: Excellent Workbench System
Summary: 5 Stars
I just built my work bench yesterday and was impressed with the kit. I built my bench 3'x6' and built a hutch style single shelf 24 inches high in the rear. I added peg board to the shelf, a heavy duty power strip, and also a flourescent light. Below my hardwood work surface I used OSB to save alittle cash for the bottom two shelves. In total I spent around $150 on lumber and the other additional items I added. Some of the reviewers have stated they were having issues with stability when using the included hardware, but I didn't have any issues. My bench is extremely solid as is. I drilled pilot holes and then used an impact driver to drive the screws and my bench is rock solid.Customer Review: EASY BUILD WORKBENCH
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a great purchase! The best way to review before purchase is to go to the manufacturers website and view the photos submitted by others who have bought and purchased it.
As for the bench itself, it was goof-proof. Bought the lumber at local big box store, had them cut the plywood, and it was together in less than three hours.
Also, the price on amazon.com was lower than MSRP!
Please keep in mind that NO wood comes with the kit, it is legs and screws and shelf brackets only. The same thing could be done using only wood, but when using the kit, all of the measurements are given to you and the finished project looks very nice and well made.
Customer Review: Great kit, except for one little thing...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great kit and using it, I was able to build a very solid workbench. The leg clamps and storage hooks that come with it are a nice bonus. I subtracted one star because the screws that came with it were a little too short to get a good bite into the wood. I ended up using 1.5 inch wood screws to assemble it and it's rock solid. I made mine 6' by 3' with a shelf on the bottom and used the shelf links to build a hutch with a pegboard back wall. Plenty of work and storage space. I spent about $100 for lumber. Like several others have stated, this kit does not come with lumber. The pictures are meant to representative of what you can build using your own lumber.Customer Review: perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this workbench. One of my best purchases ever. I looked into other premade benches and none can compare to the price or ability to be custom fit to your exact needs.
This bench has completely turned around my garage. Now everything is organized and easy to find. I find myself going into the garage just looking for stuff to fix!
You won't be dissappointed. You can save a little money and build one similar without the kit, but the kit saves you a ton of time because it was so easy to make and the finished product looks very professional and very clean. And the bench is ROCK solid. I hammer stuff on it and it's super sturdy.
