Tools and Hardware Reviews of 2x4basics 14429 Workbench and Shelving Storage System with Hooks and Clamps
Customer Review: working on the WORKBENCH
Summary: 5 Stars
I first looked at this Kit a couple of months earlier .. and searched around for different places to buy it. Ultimately i purchased it here for $20 cheaper than i could find it anywhere else and was i ever pleasantly surprised! This Kit is amazingly versatile. You are only limited by your own imagination! Mixing and matching ... creating your own design that fits exactly where you want it to be. All you do is plan your project, buy and cut your wood and assembly your bench and/or shelving. These are so well designed and sturdy with all pre-drilled holes that, even a novice like myself, completed a workbench that is the envy of my friends.

Customer Review: I couldn't believe it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't believe it! Finally someone made a useful and easy to use product with great instructions. I was skeptical when I first found the 2x4basics Workbench. I was actually looking for plans and dimensions to build a bench. Don't hesitate it's a great product. I was careful when I purchased my 2x's so that everything lined up within a fraction of an inch. I can imagine the agony you would go through if your boards were cupped or bowed. Don't think you have to get expensive lumber, I picked mine from the pile at the "orange" home center, $2.58 each. I used 3/4 plywood for the top and 1/2 for the lower shelves.
I couldn't be more pleased!
Customer Review: Good bet for the novice!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the 2x4 workbench and shelf combination and built a copy of bench I saw done by a previous customer. Like others who noted the same, it is relatively easy to build although the directions are pictures and no helpful words. The kit does not come with a "cut list" which is a needless oversight. You can find one on the Finley website under customer input but it should be a part of the assembly materials.All in all a good experience and I would recommend. Would also suggest thinking about how to finish the wood you select in advance of assembly and some suggestions on options of various types of wood would be helpful as well.Customer Review: Good product
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased 2 sets of shelflinks a month ago and found that building the shelves was very easy. The workbench was also very easy to build. I decided to make mine 3'x 6' but I could have made it up to 4' x 8' if I has the room.
The shelves below the worktable include a lot of storage. My only real complaint is that the vise attachments are kind of cheap. The kit also includes a set of shelflinks, I used them for more storage. I redid my garage with these products and it looks and functions very well. Total cost for my garage renovation was $120 for the workbench and all the shelves and $150 for wood.
Customer Review: Great Buy

This kit was well worth the money. I needed a kit that would let me choose the size of bench to make(65"24").Easy to understand instructions.A few of the earlier reviews were very helpful. Buy larger screws. Home Depot made all the wood cuts I needed.Total cost of lumber $82.00. I used 3/4" Mdf sheets for my 2 shelves and a nice finished grade plywood for the top.It took about 2 hours to build the bench(I will add additional shelves another day). I'm just average at building skills.The product website has a bunch of pictures of benches built by other buyers.That was great info.You can't go wrong with this kit.
