I just ordered two for the garage in my house that is being built. I saw one of these in person and was totally impressed. It is very heavy (220lbs) and seems built well enough that my kids will be fighting over who gets it when I am gone. Just wanting to know if anyone has one or any long term experience. Thanks for any help you can give.

Looks nice but for $850 I'd like to have a drawer or 2. Even a closed in bottom with cabinet doors or something.......:headscrat

Priced a little high, but looks to be high quality. Guys, it's stainless remember, which ain't cheap lately. I guess I'm a little biased though.

I like it. It's not too insanely priced for the apparent quality and the material.

I'm guessing they could put in a drawer or two if you paid them enough!

I did this to my home made welding table- I bought a matching Lista drawer unit and bolted it up under the table. Matches the rest of the garage and looks and works great.

Of course, mine isn't stainless. But that is such a great material.

For those that think that this is way overpriced, it is actually fairly cheap for a stainless table of this quality. This thing weighs over 200lbs. A full grown man can do jumping jacks on this thing without damaging it. I know that it is not cheap, but my kids will be fighting over who gets these when I am long gone. The thing is that nice.

I'm with PJF on this one, the price of stainless these days is UNREAL......Just go to the hardware store and compare a box of stainless bolts to steel bolts.

While I might not be able to hand out that kinda cheese, I can definitely appreciate a nice workbench. Also, consider than a cabinetmaker's workbench from SJÖBERGS goes for almost $2K and it's wood.

Back to the question though; no no experience with it here, but I doubt you'll have any issues with that bad boy.

Did you guys see the toolboxes? These are freakin' works of art! :eyecrazy:

Very nice looking, I would have preferred some drawers under there similar to this http://www.tracertoolboxes.com/?page=stainless

The drawers are '"variable" you get to spend a lot of time before purchasing deciding the drawer depths and then after you get it where each drawer goes and those drawers are strong enough for me to stand in the middle back when I was 204lbs with all the tools loaded. If without drawers is ok with you, then the ones you got are awesome.

That toolbox is nuts. Very pricey, more than I would have expected.
