It was easy to assemble once I had watched the video online. The product is great and will last a very long time. I wouldn't call it a great deal price wise but it is exactly what I was looking for and good quality so I was willing to pay what it is worth.

Great Purchace
Great product for any work area with limited space. Assembly was easy and instruction were very easy to follow, assembly only took a little over an hour. Only issue I had was a dented corner and a hinge that was slightly bent, not worth shipping back.

Cheap hardware
The bench itself is nice but the nuts and bolts included are cheap, two heads off of lag bolts snapped off on me! I do like the bench but if you are thinking about buying it get your own bolts.

Instructions very hard to follow; not sure it's operating correctly
The product is really nice; good quality and heavy duty. Quality hardware. I mounted it (with lead anchors) to concrete block wall. I intended to mount a large vise on it. It seems the bench would handle a heavy vise; but now I don't want to clutter it up with the vise. Think I'll buy a separate vise stand. When down, it takes up no more than 2" of space.
The instructions were almost impossible to follow. There are several non-interchangeable legs/brackets and the pictures do not show the detail of each. By luck, there were only 2 legs I had to swap. It wasn't apparent how they needed to be mounted until the final steps of assembly.
The instructions say to release both handles to lower the bench. After releasing the handles, I still need to slightly kick the legs in to allow it to lower. Not a big deal; but don't know if it's supposed to work this way. I took extra care to make sure the legs were at 90 degrees to the top bar and were spaced the specified distance apart; so I don't think the lowering issue is related to the installation.

Good Quality and Well Designed
The installed product works well and provides a solid and attractive work surface. The metal support parts are well made and strong - heavier gauge material than I expected. I'm pleased with this purchase. It's better than I expected.
The metal supports must mount to a stud, which fixes the lateral position of your bench on the wall. You can adjust lateral position only in 16 or 24 inch increments, depending on your stud spacing. The bench top overhangs the metal braces by about 6 inches either end.
The instructions are not too bad, but require a focused pre-assembly study, and do mis-identify some of the parts.
I found that to engage the bolts for the third (locking) hinge, I had to loosen the hinge at the other end, then tighten the bolts on both hinges.
I also initially installed the right frame (#7) where the left frame (#8) should have been, and vice-versa; these are pieces of angle iron about 18 inches long installed front-to-back under the bench top, one flat of the angle iron on the under surface of the bench (horizontal flat), the other vertical (perpendicular to bench under surface.) You want the pieces installed with the vertical flat closest to the safety frame (#9 or 10) and the horizontal flat nearest the edge of the bench. The vertical flats of the frame and safety frame should be separated by about 3 inches.

Great garage bench, but watch the installation video!
Great size for a garage work area. The braces are fantastic. Folding and unfolding was much easier than I expected. Very stable vertically, but a slight wiggle in lateral movement due to a gap of about 1/8" in the hinges. Should be an easy fix with a few washers. I plan on doing that soon. Only gripe I have is with the instructions. On their own, the directions included don't do a good job of showing the correct orientation for the various pieces while installing. However, there is a YouTube video of the installation process that is very helpful when used in conjunction with the included instructions. I don't recommend installing the bench using either resource on it's own. Only other downside is I've lost my main excuse for avoiding some of the bigger honey-do projects... Overall though, a great bench for a work area in a limited space. Definitely worth the price. Very happy with this purchase!

Great, sturdy workbench that is relatively easy to install and very easy to operate. Surprisingly heavy duty for such a compact design. None other like it that I have found.

What a GIANT dissapointment!
Sub-par protective packaging, and even worse customer service. I ordered 3 separate benches that shipped direct from the manufacturer. All 3 came with damage. I notified them, and instead of seeking a solution (i.e. swap tops), they accused me of damaging the goods myself. Why l would I do that?

Not Happy
Missing three brackets, had to wait over weekend to call company for brackets, received bracket following week.. The wooden table is damaged (rear corner smashed in). Bad quality control. Love the folding ability.

Sturdy, space saving work bench.
Directions were a little vague. Recommend using shims against the wall if drywall is bowed. Sturdy, safe, stores nicely. Collapsing helps keep work surface clean and ready to use. Requires two people to install. Highly recommend.

BEST GARAGE SPACE SAVING WORKBENCH
I did the research and was not disappointed with this fantastic very well made foldaway workbench. I could not be more pleased. I would recommend this as a two person job but can be accomplished by one person. The best two words to describe this work bench is VERY NICE!!!

Greatest Work Bench Ever
My husband needed a bench that would not take up floor space needed & this was the BEST option on the market. The price is reasonable and the result is fantastic! He did, however, have to make cuts to the metal bracket holes due to studs not aligning perfectly, but it all worked out once bolted to the wall. It was heavy, but he installed it within approximately 1 hour (after adjustments). Once installed, he hopped up on it and sat down atop it. He weighs approximately 200lbs at 6' tall and the bench did not give at all. When he is not using his bench, the fold down option makes for more room to move around our garage and quite frankly, it looks nice with the solid wood top. He is thrilled with this gift and we have already recommended friends purchase it as well. Great Product!

Great workbench, substandard directions.
Great quality workbench, not difficult to assemble using the online video and directions combined. Stong hardware and wood top. The directions themselves however are shockingly poor. To the extreme I would be embarrassed if I were the one who wrote and/or approved them.

Solid build - Worth the money
Works great and is easy to operate. Just be sure that your wall studs are exactly 16 or 24 inches apart or you will have issues like I did installing the product.

great product for what I needed
The table was easy to put together, but two people are needed to install the table onto the wall brackets. It looks great and works just as I needed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is short of space, but needs a good workbench.

Perfect solid solution for my garage.
Loved the solid build quality of this product. It folds up and down in seconds allowing me to get my car in and out of the garage. The top is solid wood and has held up very nicely when clamping tools and other objects to the surface. In summary, this workbench did exceed my expectations and should come highly recommended for those in need of a limited space work area (i.e. garage).

Great product for the right space
The work bench is well manufactured in the US. Great finish and look once installed. A reasonable install if only using two wrenches. Becomes almost effortless with counter ratcheting socket wrenches.Came together in less than an hour.
The only concern a person should have prior to purchase is to measure the wall studs for the install location. The bench requires EXACTLY 24" or 18" wall studs.Given the weight of the unit, this is critically important. Some builders and contractors may not have built studs in a standard manner - as it was in my case. In those situations this unit may not be a good choice or you should plan to build in necessary structure or reinforcement to distribute the load and meet the needs of this product.
In my specific install location, the builder had not built evenly spaced studs. To accommodate this, I built a platform out of 2x6's that bolted to the studs and distributed the load to the product. The product then installed directly on top of this wall mounted platform. It took about two hours to set this up - most of that was measuring for the non-standard stud locations and insuring everything was level. It took some time to plan and work out the geometry but once complete, the product installed perfectly in just under an hour.

Rock solid bench,worth the price, it will last a life time is your work shop!
Hard to find many products that deserve 5 star reviews, IMHO. I have to say this is really a great product and deserving of a excellent 5 star review. It's not cheap but your really getting your bang for your buck with this bench.
