Customer Reviews for Edsal 5 ft. Butcher Block Workbench Top

Unit was a little on the thin side otherwise it is ok.

Easy to assemble, unfortunately the box was half torn and I was missing almost all of the necessary hardware to properly assemble. The product also wasn't sold in stores so I was unable to get the product immediately.

Excellent....great price. Will serve the purposes beautifully.

It was really challenging to find a butcher block counter that wasn't extremely expensive that was also wider than a standard countertop. I also wanted one that I could stain and finish myself. We even cut the excess off the end of this one and created two stools that could tuck underneath the bar. I didn't know how it would turn out since I'd never stained anything before, and maple can be challenging to stain (per the internet), but it is PERFECT. I used Varathane oil based wood pre-conditioner, stained with two coats of Varathane oil based espresso finish, and then waited three days and sealed with three coats of varathane water based polyurethane (they didn't have matte in the oil based). I sanded between the poly coats with 320 grit. The wood has color variety and some imperfections that make it lovely and rustic with the stain and some pieces stained much darker than others leaving a patchwork appearance. No blotchiness though. It has a depth and reflectiveness inside I did not know was possible to achieve. I love this counter and everyone is extremely impressed when they find out we did it ourselves. Recommended!

This table had bent parts and one leg longer than others. Top does not sit flush when screwed down all the way. I hoped for better quality. For my purposes I did not want to spend more.

I like the assembled product but the actual assembly was a chore. Two bolt holes were misaligned, 2 bolts were missing (thank goodness a local hardware store was open on a Sunday) and it was difficult to attach the tabletop to the frame because of the lip on the frame.

Many parts missing and not easy to get replacements. feet and screws missing.

Good workbench. Easy to assemble. Nice addition to the garage.

Some of the holes didn’t line up but overall it’s a good work bench

This was one of the lowest priced workbenches which is all I needed. It is sturdy but you need to keep in mind that the top is not solid wood so you may want to add an overlay top on it for heavy duty use.

I had my workbench shipped to the store. When it came, the box was in very good shape. I took it home and put it together. The top was perfect, no flaws or shipping damage. Everything was there and it went together perfectly. My only knock on the bench was the stamped outlet in the top rail that attaches to the top. I bought a standard outlet to install in the bench. After punching out the two stamped pieces for the outlet, the outlet wouldn't fit. This would have been a pain in the butt if I didn't have a Dremel. I used the Dremel to grind the pre punched holes to make the outlet fit. Because I had the proper tool to fix it, I'm not going to change my rating. It's a great workbench!

This was an inexpensive workbench that worked perfectly for how I wanted to use it. Its good and sturdy and easy to put together.

Sturdy workbench, just the right size for a small space, fits well in a row house garage or basement.

Sturdy, easy to assemble, cost effective

Very good and strong table I recommend it

Won’t last long, but it would do the job.

Easy assembly.

The top is chipboard and the corners were a little chipped on arrival. The list says 20 bolts and there are 20 bolts but there are holes for 24 bolts! I guess I will paint or poly the top to protect it. I think maybe I should have bought the work bench kits where they give you the hardware and you buy the lumber separately. This really is overpriced.

Once is was put together this is a great addition to my garage but the instructions were not very clear and attaching the table top to the legs was not easyOverall I am very satisfied with this product

Very sturdy and easy to assemble.

Product is what was expected but there were two dents in the braces that needed to be hammered out. Assembly was easy in spite of minimal instructions.

Assembled fairly easily. Sturdy and reasonable price.

We haven’t finished putting it together as we are lacking 4 nuts and 4 bolts. We had to go buy large packages of each.How would you like to remedy this situation?

Very sturdy and extremely simple assembly.

Good for the price point. No predrilled holes add some time to assembly but it's nothing the average drill owner can't handle. It is a stable and sturdy mount for a large vise. Having a shelf is a nice feature. I plan on adding power (convenient mount point for outlets) soon.

Great table very strong and sturdy perfect spot
