If you want a "real workbench" Go to lowes. They have on made out of aluminum and it can be easily built. It includes 2 4foot loong 1 inch thinck pieces of particle board. One for the top (about 3-3 1/2 feet high) and one for the bottom(just above the ankles for heavier objects.) The bench also includes a sheet of particle board that goes another 2 1/2- 3 1/2 feet up. This shett has holes drilled in it to acomodate hooks as to hang tools. On top of this the aluminum extends out 1 foot over the work surface and holds another sheet of particle board (1'x4' to hold all the smaller thing such as bottle of cleaners ect.) Also The bench comes with 2 drawers a work light and an electrical strip ( ya know the ones that plug into the wall and have like 6 outlets?) I love my bench and I (14) assembled it in less than 4 hours. Requires no welding and pretty much slides together.
