I dunno... I think I would have done it quite differently, and it would have taken up a lot more space besides.

I see space for things I don’t need in a work bench and not much for what I want.

A work bench should have some heft and a nice solid vise.

The front section of a bowling alley is just right!

A friend has one looks sharp and works well.

All workbenches need a fridge with beer and cable TV. Mrs. Benkster knows “I’m going to clean off the workbench” really means “I’m going to watch the Cubs game. I don’t expect to be disturbed.”

The front horizontal part looks rather flimsy. Would it stand up to a torrent of full-body blows from my hammer? Or my rubber mallet? Where are the vises?

I’d have to label all of those drawers. I never was good at that “Concentration” game.

I’d end up breaking off the fold out surface. It needs some removable legs. Also, the slanted feet won’t be very strong. They should be vertical to provide the necessary strength.

This piece of furniture is made more for appearance than functionality, more for a hobbyist than a real workman who requires strong support.

Its the work, not the bench. That thing looks like grandmas sewing cabinet.

No envy here. It looks flimsy.
My bench is a Sears Craftsman with a metal top, real drawers, a pegboard back and a big, honking vise.

Where do the reloading press(es) go?
And the motor stand, Vice?
How many hammers will it hold?

It’s a tip-open secretary organizer. Maybe good for crafting door hangers and hot glue projects.

More like a hobby table.

That is a very wimpy work bench.

Rebuild your motorcycle engine on it and it would bet all used up in one week.

No reloading section. No grinder. No vise. Where do I sharpen the chain saw?

Where is the rifle vise for cleaning, changing sights, etc?

Nice piece of furniture, but not sure how utilitarian it is.

I could see using it as a TV stand in my workshop...or a bar.
