You don’t need a lot to get started woodworking. One of the first things you need is a good solid workbench to build them on. A workbench is where you fit, assemble, and join the workpieces in any project, and this one fits the bill quite nicely. It’s square, sturdy, and made out of composite hardwood that feels stable. A few solid drawers and a built-in woodworking vise and bench dogs add some premium features that you don’t often find at an entry-level workbench, including those that cost a lot more.
As this YouTube video shows, it requires some assembly out of the box, but nothing that even a beginning woodworker can’t handle. At $179.99 — and frequently on sale for less—this bench comes ready to assemble for less money than the required wood and hardware would cost you if you tried to build it yourself.
A lot of woodworkers enjoy building their own workbench, with features and customizations that make it feel personal. For those who choose not to go the route of building the ultimate woodworking bench or for those who haven’t gotten around to it yet, this solid hardwood unit is a steal for the price, with clean lines and true surfaces. Even if you decide to build an upgrade later on, this ready-made workbench makes for a good place to build your next one, and having this bench as a secondary workstation will rarely go unappreciated in any workshop.
