I needed a workbench in a pinch as I hadn't built mine yet and this received adequate reviews. After a couple months of using it, I should've waited. Putting it together wasn't too bad. The only tricky part was the the "vise" where it was tough to get the plastic lined up with the gear shaft. It's hard to clamp things to it because of all the over hanging metal. You can't clamp things to two entire sides because something gets in the way. It seems sturdy but at certain angles it's tippy. For example, on the box cover, there is a picture of a door being held by the table. For kicks, I tried this with a door sitting in my basement and it immediately fell over. I tried it with a 2x2 birch plywood and the same thing while it didn't fall over, a very small bit of pressure on the end (where, for example, I'd want to route the edge) made it tippy. There's no way I'd want to do any power tool work on this as I just don't trust it to stay stable. Nevermind getting a clean cut -- I'm talking about cutting myself.
