Looking for a workbench with drawers

[ChaoticBliss]

I am looking for something similar to this:

Bench

I can't afford a full tool chest yet so I figure getting a workbench with some tool storage built in might be my best bet. Anyone know of anything like this? Or have any other recommendations?


Thanks

You could always buy an old dresser and refinish the front to look however you want it. that can be fairly inexpensive.

Well you just showed us sears canadas website. Keep in mind the product line you guys have is different than what we have... Where are the craftsman tools sold in canada made? Do you know what company is producing them? Danaher corperation makes the american craftsman, but I think they are made by different people because so many of the products are different.

anyway, I was browsing around...

Maybe look at this. Same price, more work area. Id rather have shallow draws than deep draws, because deep draws mean either you waste space or pile stuff up.

Id recomend taking a trip down "south of the border" and picking something up here. The product line in sears usa is much larger than sears canada, or so it would seem, and everything is cheaper.

That looks very similar to the one they sell over here in the US. If it has ball-bearing drawers then that's it. Its a very nice table, I know of a few pro shops that use them. One shop I know has three of them and even have vises mounted on them.

I've been wanting to pick one up myself but no more room in the small garage

That's amazing, I just gave that exact bench to a friend of mine. I re-did my garage and it just didn't fit...It was given to me my my father in-law about 10 years ago and I think he must have had it for a good 10 before that...It's one large/solid bench and I hated to have to get rid of it...

keep in mind 1 Canadian dollar = .83 US dollar. That's from Bank of Canada web site, as of 7/14.

Multiply those prices by .83 and they are still more expensive than whats sold here

I have one of these it holds more than it looks like in the picture and is very stable. I bought mine at Orchard Supply.

I picked up a scratch and dent kitchen sink base unit for cheap at Lowe's... It was dropped off the truck. I got it for $80.00 US. Added a top and some castors and it is my most used bench right now...

An old dresser was mentioned also. I just drove by one sitting by the road that someone has put out to the junk... That would be a freebie....

Thanks for the replies everyone. It is tricky to buy some from the US and get it to Canada. We get charged very large customs fees which usually end up making it cost more then if I just bought it here in the first place.
