I just received this from you and all the measurements are incorrect on the site and for someone that’s disabled this is difficult to put together and they deleted my last review on this bench within 24 hours and mine came with a dent on the right railing. DO NOT DELETE THIS REVIEW

I have been beading and wire wrapping for 30 years. I recently became interested in metal smithing. I started looking at jewelers work benches. A lot of them are very expensive and a lot are not real wood. I had joined the metal smithing society and saw a student workbench at Otto Frei for sale with a discount. It was just what I wanted. Simple and sturdy. Its awesome! Its solid and strong. Was very easy to put together. It looks great. The one thing I really felt was important was the lip around the top. The other things were icing on the cake. I could not have made this myself for this price. I love my new workbench. Thank-you Otto Frei
