[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 1980167, member: 87371"] Several considerations to keep in mind: 1. Stability is key, but not necessarily weight. Plan to put cross bracing on whatever bench you get. 2. Someone mentioned depth (front to back) as a plus. It is a minus for me, as I'm the kind of person who will put "stuff" on a horizontal surface if I have one. That becomes clutter. I went the other direction: a shallow bench with a lot of shelving nearby. 3. Shelves are your friend. Lots of them. You can put a lot of stuff on a shelf without obscuring stuff behind it. 4. After 5 years, I am still happy with my Harbor Freight bench. I actually found it at a yard sale for $20. Screwed cross braces on the back before pushing it against the wall. I will admit the drawers are not the best -- you can't see to the back of them when they are fully extended. But I make do with them. [/QUOTE]
