Just assembled the HF work bench. Bought it over 6 months ago when on sale. All of the parts are oak except for the drawer bottoms. With all the fasteners tightened the bench is surprisingly sturdy. The drawer slides are reasonable quality (4 drawers) and the bottoms are thick and sturdy. The built in vise is functional but obviously not the best. The only limitation seems to be the 60" width. Wider would be nicer. My use will probably be simply assembly and not heavy planing or sawing.
All in all quite a bargain for $139 or less when on sale. (Better deal is full price of $150 but use of 20% coupon). At my age it will last the rest of my life.
No connection to HF.

I bought one of those about a year ago ($99, IIRC). I'll buy another, or two,
if they go back on sale for that price. ;-) It's fine for a lot of work but
I don't think I'll be planing or pounding on it. It's a little small, too.
