Monster Racking Work Bench Garage Metal Storage Shelving DIY Tools Heavy Duty Workbench Table Workshop Shed / 2 Shelves 90cm x 120cm x 60cm Red

The structure itself is sturdy enough and i found it easy to put together, to the point i now have two of them, the only downside is the top and shelf material is MDF and quite thin, i wouldnt take the chance of putting the loads on it that it states it can take, so the two sheets of material supplied i doubled up as the bottom shelf and the top shelf bought some 12mm ply, other than that cant fault them and they have been doing exactly what i wanted them for.

Good sturdy frame. Easy to build on my own and took no time at all. My only concern is that the mdf tops aren’t very strong and there’s no cross bracing to support them in the middle. I may have to replace them with ply.

My husband is very pleased with it. Easy to assemble and prompt delivery

When I first purchased this bench, I had fairly high expectations. On paper, it looked like a simple, sturdy piece of furniture that would serve well in my workshop. The product description made it sound ideal for basic storage and light to moderate work tasks, which was exactly what I needed. I wasn’t expecting anything heavy-duty or industrial, but I was hoping for a reliable bench that would offer decent value for the money. The assembly process started off on a positive note. One of the standout features of this bench is that it is incredibly easy to build. The instructions were clear and concise, all parts were present, and the entire process was fairly intuitive. I was able to put it together single-handedly in under an hour with just basic tools. This makes it a good choice for anyone who doesn't want to spend an entire afternoon wrestling with complicated assembly steps or deciphering poor instructions. If the review was based purely on the ease of assembly, I would have given it five stars. Unfortunately, once the bench was assembled and I started to examine it more closely, the shortcomings quickly became apparent -and they are significant enough that they really impact its usefulness. The most glaring issue is the complete lack of support in the middle section of the bench tops and the bottom shelf. The top of the bench itself seems reasonably sturdy for light tasks, but even here you can feel a slight flex if you press down with any significant force in the centre. This is not ideal if you plan to use it for anything more than very light work. However, the bigger problem is with the lower shelf. The bottom shelf is poorly designed in terms of support. The shelf does not rest fully or securely on the frame supports underneath. There is no central crossbar or bracing to provide additional strength in the middle, which is baffling. This results in the shelf drooping, particularly in the centre where there is no direct support underneath it. The more weight you add to it, the more pronounced the sagging becomes. As a result of this design flaw, the practical weight capacity of the lower shelf is extremely limited. Even though the manufacturer’s description suggests a decent load capacity, the reality is very different unless you’re willing to take the risk of watching the shelf warp or fail entirely. I tested it carefully with a selection of storage boxes and lightweight tools, and the sagging was visible with even a modest amount of weight. This shelf is therefore not suitable for storing heavier items like cans of paint, toolboxes, or power tools - exactly the kinds of items most people would want to store on a bench like this. This limitation severely reduces the functionality of the bench as a whole. The bottom shelf should be an integral part of the storage solution, helping to keep your workspace organized and making the most of the available space. Instead, it becomes almost decorative unless you only place very lightweight items on it. The lack of adequate support is not just a minor issue - it is a fundamental design flaw that should not exist in a product of this type. A simple crossbar or even a couple of additional vertical supports in the centre would have completely solved this problem at very little extra cost to the manufacturer. As it stands, it feels like an unfortunate case of cutting corners in the design process. I am also concerned about the long-term durability of this bench. Over time, repeated exposure to even small loads may worsen the sagging and could lead to permanent deformation of the bottom shelf. If that happens, the only practical solution would be to retrofit your own supports or replace the shelf entirely - not something most customers should have to do with a brand new product. It’s frustrating because this bench had a lot of potential. The frame itself seems decently strong, the finish is fine, and the price point is attractive. The ease of assembly is a big plus. But the poor support design ultimately undermines the whole package. In fairness, if your needs are very basic - for example, if you want a bench to store lightweight craft materials, gardening supplies, or cleaning products - it may still serve you well enough. But if you intend to use it for typical workshop purposes or to store moderately heavy items, I would advise caution. For buyers considering this bench, I would strongly recommend thinking carefully about how you plan to use it. If you’re hoping for a sturdy, practical storage and work surface that will hold heavier items, this probably isn’t the right choice without modification. If you’re happy to either reinforce it yourself or use it strictly for light-duty tasks, then you may still find it acceptable. In the end, I’m left with mixed feelings. On the one hand, the bench is affordable, easy to assemble, and has a clean, simple design that looks good in a workshop or garage. On the other hand, its poor shelf support limits its usefulness and means it falls short of its full potential. It wouldn’t take much for the manufacturer to address this issue. Adding proper support to the lower shelf would turn this from a decent but flawed product into a genuinely good one. Until then, buyers should be aware of its limitations. In conclusion, I would rate this bench as a 2.5 to 3-star product, depending on your intended use. For those with lightweight storage needs and a willingness to accept the shelf issue, it may still be worth buying. For anyone looking for a more robust bench suitable for typical workshop use, I would suggest looking elsewhere - or be prepared to do some DIY reinforcement.

Looks great and very sturdy

I like the prompt delivery, and the ease of assembly. The metal frame is sturdy enough for light work, but as other reviewers have mentioned, the work top is rather flimsy. However this is easily corrected by placing a sturdy sheet of MDF on top. Ok for normal lightweight domestic type of jobs, but no good for really heavy work.

Never does it hold 100kg - I have a toolbox weighing 80kg fully loaded soon as I put the weight on it folded like a deckchair causing significant damage to said toolbox. It’s probably ok if you want it to hold kids toys or simple boxes. Dont use it for anything more than this - peice of junk that’s tin and flimsy

Well, I was looking forward to getting this table and I had high hopes but after unpacking the contents all hopes had left the building. Firstly good points, it was packed good….. Now, it was easy to assemble, don’t waste your time on the instructions it was more or less 6 sentences long and that was that. Once the frame was build I was dubious regarding the strength and lack of support for the flimsy boards and I was correct, the boards 6mm lay across the tops of the supports and there is nothing across the middle, this is definitely a design flaw as I found if you put weight in the middle the boards slip off the supports. This is frustrating as I wanted to rebuild pumps off this bench and I just couldn’t trust it to fall apart. So that said I rigged a support going through the middle of each shelf and I ended up putting both boards at the bottom and screwing them into the frame so they would stay put and secure, I then grabbed a piece of 18mm ply and used this for the top bench and then I could screw my vice too. All in all I like the length but this item is weak, untrustworthy and poorly designed. The only reason I am keeping it is because 1 it was cheap 2 I’ve already assembled and reconfigured design and 3 I made the mistake of buying something I thought would be ok. Always check before buying if it suits your needs I wish I never purchased but hey ho I did.

Buon prodotto di facile assemblaggio ( in un quarto d'ora si monta) bello da vedere.... arrivato ieri.... peccato che il pacco era mezzo aperto e mancavano due travi corti dovevano essere 4

Todo perfecto

Ne ho acquistati 3. il montaggio e facile, ma i ripiani sono arrivati curvi e 2 sono rotti negli angoli e gonfiati al centro. articolo da non acquistare

This review is for the black metal workbench. Some of the corners of the two sheets of mdf were a bit battered in transit. But it goes together really easily, I didn’t even need the suggested rubber mallet. Solid enough for the money. Just what I needed. I might change the mdf out for something else in time but for now it does the job. Would buy again.

Facile à monter et très pratique.
