Keter Heavy-Duty Folding Workbench with 1,000 Pound Capacity - Foldable Work Table for Garage, Woodworking, and Outdoor Workshop with 12 Inch Adjustable Clamps

As a DIY enthusiast, the Keter Portable Folding Table has been an incredible addition to my workspace. It's sturdy and easy to set up, making it ideal for various projects. The built-in clamps are a fantastic feature, holding materials securely in place while I work. I appreciate the portability; it folds up easily and is lightweight, so I can move it around my workshop or take it to different job sites without any hassle. One thing that stands out is the table's stability. Even with heavier tools and materials, it remains steady, which is crucial for precision work. The workbench surface is spacious, giving me plenty of room to lay out my tools and materials. It’s also great for larger projects where I need a stable and reliable surface. There’s really not much to dislike about this product. If I had to mention something, it would be the initial assembly, which took a bit of time to figure out. However, once set up, it’s been smooth sailing. For anyone into DIY projects, this workbench is a game-changer. It has improved my workflow and provided a dependable work surface that I can rely on for various tasks.

This work table is great, easy set up, easy take down, very portable, very stable. Worth the price.

I don't usually like to review things like this after only a few uses, so I'll hedge this by saying these are initial impressions after a few weeks, so take it for what it is worth. If things change I will update the review. So far I really like this bench. It is ridiculously easy to set up and even easier to fold. I love that I can fold it and store it, or load it into the back of my truck. I echo what others say about NOT pulling the legs out no matter how badly you want to. Grab the yellow handles, pull the tabs with your thumbs, lift up and let the legs fall on their own. This thing is really sturdy. It says it's good up to 1000 lbs. No idea if that is true, but I weigh 225 and I climbed on it and stood up and it had no trouble holding me. I've used it so far to support long 2X8s I was cutting with the Miter Saw and I've also used it as a table for the saw. I like it because I was able to use the included clamps to hold the saw in place. Generally I’ve used it to hold all my junk and to hold boards steady while cutting with a circular saw. My only small gripes are it could be a bit wider AND it needs a well for nails, screws etc. or drinks. Once folded, it’s really easy to carry and not heavy at all. So far I'm really happy. I looked into building a bench and it would have cost me roughly $50-$60 for parts including casters to roll it. For not much more, I got this.

This table is amazing! No assembly and very easy to open and close. This has surpassed my expectations in many ways after the first use. It holds a lawnmower at the perfect height to work on from a rolling chair. Also not made for but the grip handle is just wide enough for the mower crankshaft to fit through allowing the engine to sit up nicely and somewhat braced. The bottom of the table is nice for holding toos and parts, keeping them away from your project but near when needed as you work. When finished this thing easily folds up and fits comfortably in a narrow spot in the garage. This is probably my best garage by this year!

To start off, I am not a construction worker of any kind. I don't use this table on job sites. I am a 34 y/o woman, mom, scientist but I love me some wood projects! I have a Ryobi 15" compound miter saw that I use on the regular but I don't like to use it in the garage because it gets sawdust EVERYWHERE. I bought this table so that when I want to work on a project I can set my saw up on the back yard patio or in the driveway, work for a couple hours and then put my saw back on the work bench in the garage, fold this table up and store it out of the way until I need it again. So far I'm thrilled with it for those purposes! See my pics for context with the saw on it. It is REALLY sturdy and heavy duty without being extremely heavy. I can easily carry it around myself, especially with the handles it has! It's made of really durable plastic so you don't have to worry about it rusting. It holds up to 1,000 pounds!!! It's SO EASY to fold up and unfold once you've learned how to do it and practice once or twice. I love things that are idiot proof. It's SO SMALL when it's folded up which makes is super convenient for storing just about anywhere or transporting with ease (which is great because I don't have a pickup truck)! It's SO VERSATILE! You can use this in so many ways and for so many projects and jobs! I've also used it for painting, hand sawing, gluing wood joints together etc. I love that it comes with 2 clamps and that you can keep tools, hardware and other supplies on the lower shelf while covering the top of the work bench with whatever it is your working on. I also lent this to a friend to use it to build grow boxes in his backyard and he loved it!! My only complaint about this bench is that the first one that arrive was missing one of the feet on the legs. I sent it back and got a new one that is complete. Beyond that I really can't say enough good about this work bench. While I imagine it would be ideal for on site remodelers or construction professionals, I am not one so I won't speak for them, but I can tell you it's PERFECT for the DIYer or hobbyist like myself who needs a work bench but doesn't have a dedicated work shop or a lot of time or money to spend on such things. Hope this helps! For the record, I did NOT receive this for free or at a discount. Paid full price for it, a price that I happen to think is VERY fair and reasonable for what you get!

I bought this to replace an old work bench that has seen better days. It is still useful but with a few saw cuts through the top and legs starting to wobble it is more suitable for just stacking things on it than for working on it. The Keter is a solid work piece. yes, it is "plastic" but it is very sturdy and the ingenious bracing system makes for a solid work surface. Unlike my older table that required unfolding, pinching tabs, clamping braces before it is work ready the Keter is amazingly easy to set up. You set it on the floor, grip the side clamps and lift. The legs fold out into locked position and all you need to do is push three hinged pieces into a locked position and you are good to go. The clamps that come with it are very handy for clamping work onto the table and the slots provided for both vertical and horizontal clamping are easy to work with. One note- mine arrived with a slight crack on the top plate of one of the leg "cups" (see photo). There is NO way to just ask for a replacement part so I did a damaged product request and they quickly shipped me a new one. I put the slightly damaged bench in the old box and shipped it back. I think there should be some way of just getting the part replaced rather than a whole exchange but you cannot beat that kind of service from Amazon.

This is a must-own for anyone with either limited space or a desire to be mobile. I own a condo so space is at a premium. I've only had this for a few weeks and I've used it for a few projects already. The surface is plenty flat for wood working and is wide enough to support my Dewalt miter saw. I'm even considering getting rid of my table saw's stand, mounting it to some 3/4" plywood and using it on my Keter work table. The opening and closing mechanisms for the table itself are great. The clamps that embed in the table are good (not great); suitable for anything a small bar clamp is good for, but not a replacement for c-clamps or pipe clamps. It's plenty sturdy (I've used it as a step stool also). Okay, so here's the down side... you knew there had to be one, right? The underside of the table does not allow for easy clamping to the work surface. It's a traditional honeycomb-style plastic frame work. Yes, it's sturdy, but this means that things like a clamp-mounted vice are out of the question. My weekend project is to build a hinged hardwood work surface that mounts on top of the Keter for when I need to clamp vertically and not just horizontally. In conclusion, I've never seen a product like this that's better than this. If you want a fully functional, totally usable, work table that folds up and stores easily, this is it. Don't hesitate. I'm seriously considering getting a second one to use as a miter stand for long boards. Side note, Keter would do well to build some extensions and saw horses that are the same height as this product. It would really increase its value.

It's amazing how sturdy this thing is for being a super-portable compact folding-table. They say it is rated at 1000 Lbs capacity. Hmmm... I don't know about that... maybe if you stacked that amount of weight on it slowly, and made sure it was evenly distributed... it just might hold that much. I know I can sit on it and it doesn't wince. The unique (and patented) folding system provides several interlocked supports: two on the side, one in the center. Those fold into place and lock very easily. The main braces connect the upper and lower surfaces. Those, in turn, hold the aluminum legs in places quite rigidly. The net result is the entire table is VERY sturdy and remarkably stable too. Because the tubular legs are of fairly large diameter, the entire table is quite rigid... astoundingly rigid considering it's light-weight. The super-nifty cool-gizmo factor is in the way it instantly and automatically opens. Go look at YouTube videos. This thing really works like that! The clamps can fit into slots so they can be used as a pair, much like a bench vise. Or they can be slipped through the hand-sized holes to clamp vertically and hold boards DOWN to the surface. If you are familiar with the excellent Irwin Quik-Clamps, you'll instantly understand how these clamps operate. However, these clamps have an extra function: not only the feet move, but the clamp-heads move too. There are many times I have wished for that feature when using other clamps! These clamps are light to medium duty though. They are not as rigid or powerful as the heavy duty Irwin models. But they are fast and convenient, certainly strong enough for many DIY, home-repair and craft / shop project applications. What's delightful, besides the nifty way it unfolds, it how compact this is. When collapsed or "closed" it is only a few inches wide. That slim profile made me worry when I saw the box arrive, because I thought it was going to be another "some assembly required" nightmare. Nope... This comes FULLY ASSEMBLED, but in the closed position. You just open the box, remove the protective "warning" tape, read the brief clear illustrated instructions and Bam! It's open! I am a sucker for workshop gadgets. Over the decades, I can't tell you how many dozens of workbenches I have tried; all of them promising stuff they never fully delivered. The Skill multi-function bench had some neat ideas, but was made so cheaply it never worked well and didn't last long. I have tried rolling work-benches, tool-cabinets, clamping stations, workmates... you name it. All of them do a few things OK, but all of them were also cheap, inaccurate or difficult and flimsy. They all quickly found their way to garage sales. This is the FIRST TIME in my fifty-plus years of woodworking that any folding bench-table-clamping-center doohickey has EVER worked as advertised. Really. No exaggeration. Go find the videos. It opens just like that. Even on my first try it worked perfectly. You really can sit on it. The clamps actually lock in place and really do clamp with fair holding power. It folds up fast and takes little room. There are several hand-holds built in, so it is easy to move Up & Down stairs or through tight doorways. I often need to move to the basement or outdoors for DIY projects, so that compactness and those handles are a boon. It would fit in a smart car. I could fit four of these in my trunk. Eight of them would fit in the back seat of any normal sedan. You could easily slip several of these under a bed. Now, could it be improved? Yes, slightly. Instead of BLACK, which absorbs heat when working outdoors, a lighter color would be nice. When I use this outdoors in the blazing noonday sun, the surface gets HOT. A lighter color would alleviate some of that endothermic nuisance. That would also make stuff on the lower shelf easier to see. Black drywall screws tend to hide on dark surfaces. Some users may want heavier-duty clamps, but these clamps are well-matched to the sturdiness of the table. In other words, you won't be doing any heavy hand-tool work with this. It is quite rigid and sturdy and stable, but it wobbles a bit if you try to do hand-planing on it. Power sanding? No problem. My only regret is that I jumped at this low price too soon and did not realize there is another model with adjustable legs. This height is a trifle LOW for much of the work I do around the house. But it is a nice height for refinishing small projects, sanding, clamping, light hand-saw work and glue-ups. If you are TALL, then you might want the adjustable version at a slightly higher price. I think the only way you could find a more perfect design would be to make it yourself. Even though I have made MANY dozens of workbenches and cabinets, I could not make one for seventy-bucks that was any better. It would certainly be an engineering challenge to design one that folded up so compactly yet remained so sturdy when open. If you often need a little workbench with clamping options but are short on space with a low budget... I recommend this thing ( or its adjustable-height brother) highly.
