Review: Review of the 2x4 Basics Workbench - 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 desertcart, 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.
Review: Fantastic Desk Kit - I bought this to build myself an electronics workbench. This kit is well worth the money and I am very pleased with the result. I have built tables/benches in the past, but since the only wood-cutting tool I own is a circular saw it is difficult for me to get all the legs exactly the same height to make the table level. I consider myself a beginner to intermediate woodworker and this kit was a breeze to assemble. This kit took me an afternoon (6-7 hours) all told to assemble and that includes 1 or 2 trips to Lowe's. I made the desk about 4.5 feet wide by 2.5 feet deep. I bought some nice plywood for the desktop and it cost me about another $100 for all the wood I ended up needing. The kit came with all the screws and brackets necessary to assemble it. The instructions are not very detailed but give enough instructions that I had no questions once I took a look at all the brackets. My instructions came printed poorly so it was hard to read, but if you go to the "2X4 Basics" website, they have digital PDFs you can download with clearer pictures. The way the brackets are made allows for a lot of customization. Since I wanted to be able to use a chair or stool while working at the bench, I left the bottom and front totally open so I could put my legs under the table. I was worried it may be wobbly because of this, but it is extremely sturdy. I added a strip light and a 10 outlet power strip under the shelf. With these small upgrades, this workbench is exactly what I needed/wanted. I could have probably gotten a workbench from IKEA or Walmart for cheaper, but this one is extremely sturdy and the exact dimensions I wanted for my work space. Being built entirely out of 2X4s, I expeceted this to be a little on the heavy side, but it is much lighter than I expected. I can move it around my work space with minimal effort and it does not scratch my wood floors.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can someone give me a general estimated idea of the cost to assemble this assuming a table top size of around 5'x2' or 3'?**
A: I spent $65 on 2*4s and $80 on 2 sheets 4*8 3/4 sanded plywood. That's all I really needed but I decided to upgrade the screws, stain and poly the wood so that's up to you and the cost varies.  Bare bones bench you're looking at $150. Mine is 2x8ft and totalled just over $200

**Q: Is there anyway to attach caster wheels to make this easier to move?**
A: YES! In fact it is quite easy to do , "Adding Castors/Wheels", to this workbench. As sturdy as this bench is once built it is easy to flip on it's side or back. And in that position simply attach your wheels. Just make sure you purchase GOOD wheels! And with a good mounting system. I at first tried to save a buck and bought some really cheap wheels from Amazon.  Thought the wheels were rated at 500Lbs. That must have been a one time use rating! I then found a deal on Amazon for "Locking, Two inch dia., Polypropylene wheels with metal frames", Rated for 1000 Lbs. and they worked great. "STAY away from any plastic wheels regardless of the ratings!" The catch is the mounting system for the wheels. Most either have four holes you can place screws into OR a single steel 'Round", post with a metal "O-ring" to lock it in place. The latter you can order a larger plate that will attach to the bottom of the bench that the post slides up into. These worked for me. The one's with the four screws? Even with longer screws than recommended, -"4 x #8, 3-1/2" inch long, metal deck screws" they failed repeatedly. The bench weighs allot by itself and the four screws literally tore though the bottom of the bench! The wheels with a 3/8" inch metal center post worked with the mounting plates I made from heavy steel angle, "L-Brackets from the hardware store", with the 3/8" inch hole that I drilled in them for the post. With four 1" screws into the bottom but also two into the side. So that they were held both vertically and horizontally. Good luck!

**Q: Are the shelf supports included with this kit the same size as the 90124 Shelf Link units ( which accept 4- 2x4 in width) sold separately? From the pictures it looks like the ones with this bench kit are using 3 - 2x4, or one narrower.**
A: I ordered the bench kit (90164) and the shelf link kit (90124). I did not use the shelf kit supplied with the bench kit on the bench itself. I combined them with the shelf link kit to make more shelves. They are exactly the same parts. I hope this helps.

**Q: I see in the instructions that they state to put a piece diagonally to support the work top.  Was there a place in the leg to attach this piece?**
A: Yes, the upper leg support accommodates the (3) pieces of wood . The left & right sides of the wood are screwed into the leg support and the diagonally placed 2 x 4 is just laid diagonally across (sits on the upper leg bracket).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Updated! Workbench is Awesome! Ordered a second one!
*by T***R on August 8, 2020*

**** Updated to 5 Stars***** Finally, I found the time to complete my first workbench. And it turned out to be great! There isn't much to add except, make sure that you get all your wood cut to the same length and everything else will follow suit accurately! I had to make an end stop for my mitre saw before I started cutting. And that time spent turned out to well worth it. I got a wobble free and solid bench in the end! One thing to keep in mind - if your wood isn't sitting flat against any of the corners, it is possible that there are remnants of the manufacturing process and you may have to cut the extra flashing off of in some places. But I would not consider this a major issue. The bench once completed is really solid! I have another kit already sitting in my garage ready to be worked on next spring! -- My Original Review -- Finally, managed to unbox this kit after its quarantine phase. I am impressed. This item is so simple, yet looks so versatile. The parts are pretty simple and intuitive and come with a whole bunch of hardware. And the instruction sheet just as the product is pretty straightforward, focused and to the point! Three stars on easy to assemble criteria because I haven't gone through it yet, and so I have been fair by voting down in the middle. My next step is to plan the dimensions of my workbench and plan the cuts. I don't have a table saw and therefore will need to get the sheets cut at the home improvement big box. Overall this looks great and I'm thinking of going for one more for my basement.
