Draper 53120 Expert 1400mm Carpenters Workbench

Product Rating:

Product Review (submitted on 11 August 2011):

Good value. It is quite light though so you can't chisel a piece of wood in the vice for example without pushing the bench hard against a wall becuase it wobbles too much. There was a fault in the manufacture where a hole had been drilled incorrectly. As the product was a work bench it wasn't surprising as the purchaser that I felt capable of fixing it by substituting a larger bolt (or screw I can't remember now). Others have probably done the same, but If it was a normal piece of flat pack furniture Draper might have had more returned. I'd probably recommend buying it for light DIY work. If you're a serious regular user then if you can fix it to the wall it will be ok otherwise you probably need something more robust.
