The John Frei Oak Double Bank Workbench-The Best Jewelers Workbench You Can Buy.

All John Frei custom workbenches start with a solid 2" thick butcher-block top made of select grade Oak or Maple. We use solid real wood for the legs, top trim, bottom trim, drawer faces, face frames and arm supports. Door side and back panels are made of cabinetmaker quality oak or maple-veneered plywood and looks as good from the back as it does from the front. All of this put together by professional cabinetmakers. The end result is a jewelers workbench that stands apart from all others, a beautiful, solid and sturdy workbench that can take whatever the toughest jeweler can dish out.

This is the Oak John Frei Double Bank Workbench.  Oak has a distinctive grain, and is a slightly heavier wood than Maple, while Maple has a finer grain than Oak.  Both woods are an excellent choice for a workbench, and choosing one over another is a matter of personal taste. All our John Frei custom workbenches are stained with Watco Natural stain. Custom finishes are available for an extra charge. The great thing about our workbenches is you can easily customize the finish yourself, as your final look depends only on the amount of effort you are willing to put into the project. No other bench on the market is worth the effort, or for that matter, because of the quality of the materials, can be much improved.

Shipping Information:
John Frei Custom Workbenches are shipped via truck freight. Freight charges are separate, and are not included in the price of this bench.  Call us at 800-772-3456 x 1 to get a freight quote, or order your bench online and we will contact you to quote you on your unique delivery situation. There is a $75.00 crating charge for double bank workbenches to prepare your custom workbench for shipping.  You can avoid paying the crating charge and freight charges by arranging to pick up your uncrated bench in our Oakland, California warehouse. If you live within 25 miles of our Oakland warehouse, we can quote you on a local delivery with our own truck, saving you the crating charge.

We are currently using a truck freight company that gives good service for a fair price.  The best rates are now for shipping freight prepaid, not freight collect. You can expect to pay somewhere between $195.00 and $275.00 for delivery in the lower 48 states, more for Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. Territories. Shipping this bench outside of the United States can be very expensive. We recently quoted a customer $700.00 for shipping a workbench like this to Canada.

The Fine Print: Common variables for delivery that freight companies charge extra for include but are not limited to-residential delivery, lift gate required, call before delivery, inside delivery and rural delivery.  The least expensive freight charges will be to a commercial address (commercial is defined by the freight carrier and means a business address in a non residential area with Monday thru Friday business hours) with the ability (dock high door, fork lift, several able body persons) to remove the item from the truck without the assistance of the driver.
