This workbench is on sale for a great price. I just assembled one and there was a minimum of swearing. Just a heads up

I bought the same one at Costco about 15 years ago (maybe $80, maybe $100.)

I installed a small florescent  lamp underneath the smaller top shelf.

The 2 big selves are 3/4" plywood.

This one has a light and a power bar!  The big shelves are coated fiberboard though. Assembly is quick with a rubber mallet.

Here's another useful tool.

Princess Auto have a cordless "Dremel" tool called a chain saw sharpener. I have a corded version I bought for about $15 a few years ago. They are now about $19. Still running but a little worn out and I think I will replace it with this cordless version.

Takes a 1/8" arbor.
