Olympia Tools Multipurpose Workbench with Light, 87-883-917 , Black

This workbench is super sturdy and perfect for my uses. To the guy that showed the video of how wobbly it is, tighten the nuts and bolts man!!! As I was putting this together, it was sturdy just by finger tightening the nuts and bolts... when it was together I went around and tightened everything, it would hold a tank. Some of my projects are worth many times the cost of this workbench, so believe me, I wouldn't use it if it weren't strong enough. The only thing so far I wish it had, was a place to attach a vice. If I replaced the top, I could fashion a location for a vice, but it is a very minor issue. I love this workbench and would recommend it. The instructions could be better but with a little patience and logical thinking, anyone should be able to put this together. I put this together all by my lonesome and it was pretty easy, just took a while. As I stated in the headline, the light could be brighter... I have purchased a 6500 lumen bulb which should do the trick. If anything changes, I will update this review. I would definitely recommend. UPDATE: Not really an update, just an observation... I see a few complaints in other reviews as to this workbench not being sturdy. While the instructions do say to hand tighten all the nuts and bolts, I can tell that most do not read the instructions in full... the very last line in the instructions says that you need to go back and tighten all the nuts and bolts. The very last line. If you don't tighten the nuts and bolts, it won't be fully sturdy. To those that returned it because it was wobbly, you are missing out on a great workbench. As I indicated before, you need to use a bit of logic.

I ordered two of these and when they arrived it was double boxed and fortunately not damaged. The packing material is minimal, so with rough delivery I see how it could be damaged in transit. In general, I like the product and based on my experience would buy it again. Assembly instructions are sparse. Do hand tighten to start as you'll need to adjust things to get bolts in place. The unit will get solid once you tighten everything. The tip I really needed is that there are several bags of screws. The instructions refer to the screws by "part id" but the bags list the "description". So I recommend going to the back of the instructions and labeling each bag of screws with the corresponding part id letter. One bag has a lot of screws and those are the ones you're going to use for most of the assembly. The exceptions are the peg board, the shelf tops, drawer pull, and drawer bottom. The diagrams show the letters but it's REALLY small, so look carefully. Each "beam" is labeled with a number, and some have an L or R to denote left and right when looking at it from the front of the bench. Also the beam numbers go in order, so 1 then 2 then 4, etc, so that can be helpful when you're sorting parts or have someone helping you. If you have a helper, they can always get started on the drawers right from the beginning. As for amount of parts, mine did contain exactly the correct number of pieces. The washers can stick together, so be carefully you're only getting one. I imagine it is possible that they could make a mistake on occasion, but the parts are simple and could be picked up at any hardware store. The hardest part is bolting on the left and right drawer sides. Tip for the top bolts, turn the piece so that the drawer slide faces down and then you've got plenty of clearance for the top bolts. As for the bottom bolts, if you can't get it with your fingers then a 10mm socket with a small extension should do it. When assembling the top area, make sure to carefully watch the pictures. The supports going up from the bench only have screws on the sides. The screws from the back will come in when putting on the peg board. And make sure that the hole in the center of the support is front to back as this is also going to be used for the peg board. As for tools, most screws are #3 phillips with some being smaller. Most nuts are 10mm with a few 8mm, so a socket wrench or a box wrench would be needed to tighten the bolts. For the main bench table, make sure to slide it under the peg board when installing or it will appear not to fit. Don't trust the drawers until you've tightened everything and make sure to tighten the drawer part under the main table as that's easy to miss. When installing the drawers make sure to fully extend the rails and push them into the side of the drawers to ensure they are attached. It can be easy to have them partially on and the drawer fall off taking part of the slide with it. This happened to me and fixing the slide was no simple task. The florescent light sucks. I plan to get some LED lights at IKEA. Last note is that there are many brands that have this same exact product like Harbor Freight, so just searching for multipurpose workbench comes up with a lot of videos about this.

I bought two of these to hold all of my husband’s tools. They are perfect for what I wanted! I was skeptical based on the reviews but assembly wasn’t bad at all. I have put numerous furniture pieces together and this wasn’t that difficult. I have definitely assembled worse items. I did the assembly by myself and it took me about 2.5 hours total per bench. Pay attention to the photos in the directions and it will all go together just fine. The only thing is the packets of hardware aren’t labeled as to what you use them on but a little common sense and counting holes and you can figure it out pretty easy. I didn’t have any problems with holes lining up and the whole thing is very sturdy once you tighten all the bolts. This is a great deal and looks fantastic!

It's a standard work table, nothing special. The assembly SUCKS and took a very long time, especially in a small space. So many screws and nuts omg. The light didn't work after I assembled the table, and Amazon's solution was for me to take it apart and mail it back for a whole new table as a replacement....for JUST THE LIGHT. Yeah, not going to do that. If anything is wrong with your work bench, don't expect any warranty help. Amazon said it was the manufacturer's problem and had me call Olympia tools to ask about a light replacement, and the manufacturer told me it was Amazon's problem. Fun. No light for me I guess. What a nightmare. The table is pretty decent though. You get what you pay for.

A well built product and relatively easy to put together. Good looking and useful
