Opinion on picrel (left) for garage/general use bench (Vevor/SuccBuy on AliExpress/other on and offline shops). Comes in many sizes and configs (drawer/tool plates/wheels, etc.) which can go into well over 400€, but looking for basic one for around 150 €.

Plus:
• Rated for 2000 lbs
• Adjustable height
• Steel span across length
• Power sockets
Minus (?):
• Solid wood, but, on closer inspection, looks like it's small bits of wood glued together.

Alternative would be also picrel (right) feet/stand good for 1000 lbs, in combination with either of the two boards (three layers treated 27 mm pine/single layer 28 mm pine). Feet would be rotated for stability, like this (topview): [ / \ ]
Plus:
• Actual full length boards
Minus (?):
• Height not really adjustable, though I could buy taller feet/add a piece of wood between feet/bench. Not a tall guy though and being able to place downward force could actually be a plus for a lower bench.

Bro, you're gonna BUY your workbench? Buy NEW? How very DIY of you. You can make a bench out of dimensional lumber that will easily beach that in cast and strength. Well, maybe not you. Your first instinct it to buy a workbench. You buy your sawhorses too or just get all your lumber pre-cut?

>Just grow a tree, dig the minerals, cast the metal, bro, like s true diy'er
Literally posted the option of assembling one myself.
>Dimensional boards
No idea wtf you're talking about, but those are 2,4 m boards, btw, so I'd have to cut them down to 2 m or less.
Btw, did you just bought your fancy (cordless, please) power tools off the shelf, or actually went out and shopped for motors, controllers, etc., and built them yourself?

You need us to Google that for you too? It is one thing to be stupid. That is a limitation from birth. It is a whole different issue to be ignorant. That is a choice.

Did you seek help for the bug that bit you or are you just going to wait for the butthurt to heal itself?

We just made one from a 4x8.

Its in my garage. The bemch is nice but the 4'x8' is a little too big. I've considered making it into a 2'x8' to make more room for the cars.

The back is screwed into the wall. The front legs are 2"x6".
