Kinda beat but a good cabinet and bench, I would say yeah if you need it and it works for you. Lista made some nice benches, and they bring more than that.

is the bench top reasonably flat, or is it warped to hell?
i think it's worth it if the bench top is ok.

You can look under my name, and search 'kennedy.' I have one of those. It was free! Here you go. I drove by a warehouse and saw it on a discard pile. It made the trip home w/me. The slides are old-style friction-fit, not the easiest to open/close, if you have them loaded with heavy tools. I'd put your $ towards a ball-bearing slides cabinet of a larger size. You can see how I used 2 x 4's & used pocket screws to build a frame for the legs, and added a bottom shelf. It made the entire cabinet much more sturdy. I don't need a 2" thick top so I just used a scrap piece of plywood for the top. If it was going to take a pounding, I'd make a thicker top.
Whoever assembled it first didn't bother reading directions. I had to disassemble it and rebuild it. The 2 x 4's I added in the ends and for the shelf made it a much stronger piece. After I got done with my mods, I saw another listed on CL for $450! A good deal for free, mine was. I already had the white pine 2 x 4's and pocket screws, so no additional cost, and it was free anyway!
I also got a 2' x 6' welded steel angle iron bench frame from the same junk heap. A good day!

Cheap tool storage for homeowner tools?
I need to get an organizational system in place for the basement. Are there any roll cabs cheaper than HF worth having? What do you all do? -Ryan Ryan, I've picked up a few Kennedy rolling cabinets from FB Marketplace. Best buy was a top and bottom for $100 total. A couple others for roughly...
