    2 ft by 4 ft, not real big but its not real expensive either,

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      Seen 'em in the store... Too flimsy (in the legs especially) to do any serious work, and the top will need to be reinforced, as well. In addition, like Loring says, it's small... You'd have to put two side-by-side (or maybe three) to get reasonable length to the work surface, and that 2-foot depth is really going to cramp you, particularly if you actually hang anything from the pegboard.

      I'd pass... and build something exactly the way I want it, and strong enough to last.

        Well, I was hoping it'd be a good way to get some additional bench space in my new workshop quickly, but it looks like I'll need to look elswhere.

        Thanks for setting me straight!
