Thread: Carba-Tec Height Adjustable Workbench

Stu, bought one, had a post on his blog not too long ago:

Not really a review, but you could shoot him a message and ask for some feedback...

Thanks joez.

Some more posts on the bench from Stu's Shed:

I picked mine up a week ago and put it together on the weekend. It was fairly straight forward to put together, and hard to argue when the price is knocked down to $689. I think I'll follow Stu's lead and pick up some better bench dogs, I'm not sure how long the plastic ones will last.

Looks like Good bench. I just wonder how much movement there will be in those adjustable legs.

How close a fit are the telescoping pieces?

The telescopic pieces are a fairly tight fit, there is some movement from the adjustable feet which I'm going to try and tighten up (or perhaps remove/replace with heavy duty casters), they are steel and can slide on a concrete floor.

I'm pretty happy with my bench so far. The only gripe I have is the slide out drawer, doesn't run smoothly and extend far enough for my liking. The telescopic legs are a fairly tight fit, I've not noticed much/any play
