    Last year I purchased the 2×4 basics model 14429 Workbench from Amazon. After obtaining the necessary wood and putting it together, I liked it so much I bought another workbench. I then posted my detailed review for the model 14429.

    Recently I decided to buy yet another 2×4 Basics workbench. The 14429 was no longer available from Amazon. Instead, this ‘new model’ 90164 was offered by Amazon. I purchased it.

    I have no idea what the difference is. It is the exact same workbench as the earlier model.

    As I noted in my other review you are purchasing the hardware (the four legs, which are a very heavy grade plastic, wood screws, hooks and clamps). You must obtain your own wood (to make my 6 foot by 2 foot workbench I bought seven 96-inch long 2 x 4s, plus three 6-foot by 2-foot boards that serve as the bottom, middle and top counters). Simply cut your 2 x 4s to the proper length (for a workbench that is six feet long and two feet wide, you will need six 2/4s that are 72 inches long, six 2 x 4s that are 21 inches long, and one 2×4 that is 71 7/8ths inches long). If you go to the page for the older model and go through the pictures supplied by reviewers you will find a scan of the size wood you will need for various size workbenches you may wish to build.

    The instructions are very simple and consist of pictures (no words). The pictures simply show the sequence for putting the workbench together. You will need your power screwdrive with a Phillips tip. I put the first two workbenches together by myself, while my wife helped with the third one (having an extra person is very helpful although not essential).

    The result is a very, very sturdy workbench. Place your various machines (meter saw, band saw, what have you) on top with confidence. This workbench also comes with 8 plastic things that you use to build upper shelves, but I had yet to use them. I like my workbenches to be clean on top. I also do not use the supplied hooks and clamps (for my first workbench I installed a clamp: it is a joke. You may be able to clamp a work-piece that is half-an-inch thick, but no thicker).

    I got this workbench to put my miter saw on. It came quickly (within 2 business days after ordering with super saver shipping) and arrived in good shape.

    I had sawn the lumber to size the day before using the chart on the manufacturers website for the size I wanted (2×4 feet) and when the package arrived all I had to do was assemble it with the screws provided. No problems there, I could do it by myself, screws held the pieces of lumber with no problems. I read some reviews that the provided screws were crummy but I didn’t experience this. I didn’t even predrill the holes and the screws grabbed and tightened with no problem. If you’re on your own I recommend positioning and holding the pieces of lumber to the legs with clamps while you are power driving the screws so that you’re sure it is reasonably straight and level. It took me no more than an hour to put the whole thing together.

    Stands like a rock. I didn’t use the shelf brackets yet as I am going to move this to another location soon. Can’t go wrong for $65 plus lumber (I used three 8 ft 2×4’s and 2 sheets of 2×4 ft 1/2 inch plywood, grandtotal under $40 for the lumber. Will buy another kit to assemble a workbench after we move. Might also use this for a cutting table for my sewing room after we move. Is exactly the correct hight for that.

    Whole heartedly recommend this product.

    This quality product makes creating your own custom bench a snap. Total build time, by myself, was about 30 minutes with pre-cut lumber. Sure it costs a little more than making your own legs but I don’t have wood working clamps so the price difference was a wash for me. Plus with the shelves built in to hold the 2×4’s it was much easier. It is also much cheaper than buying a bench from a brick and mortar store.
    I use this bench mainly for a reloading press but I also have a vice mounted and I haven’t had any issues with either. The best part is that if you want to change the size of your bench at a later date it’s a quick tear down and rebuild. Because of which, if you are undecided on bench size, cut your lumber for the larger size and see if it works. Modifying for the smaller size is easy if it’s too big.
    Overall I’m very impressed with this product. It comes with some hangers and clamps that I haven’t used but I’m sure would work. Not that fancy but they aren’t meant to be.
