Rockler shop stand or 8020 experience?

[atgcpaul]

At work I've been asked to put together some benches for lab equipment.

Has anyone used Rockler's metal shop stands? How sturdy is the base once
it's bolted together. I don't want any wobble if I were to nudge the bench.

Originally they wanted 8020 but I think designing something simple may not be
and price wise I think it will probably be more expensive.


Thanks, Paul

Ok

Just put the Rockler together and seems sturdy, heavier then I thought it would (wood) be. Doesn't rock as long as the feet are adjusted.

unless you want something real custom, there are tons of places selling industrial benches of all sorts and quality levels. I don't think you can justify the design work to build your own.

Just an internet search on work benches and industrial supply houses will probably get you started.

Thanks for the replies. This is something they wanted yesterday so
it seemed to fit the bill.
