“Package came within a few days and was intact with one minor ding in the table. Assembly was okay but you NEED to examine each part to verify your legs are oriented correctly. For the price it's an amazing bench and on its own it will be a perfect addition to your shop. The brand is known for making high quality benches and for the price the 1450 does not disappoint. My only recommendation is to widen the groge for the stretches to 3/4" and add a 3/4" piece of MDF that is sized to specs of the 1/4" panel provided in the box. This added more weight and stability. Overall I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a name brand bench at entry level cost.”

“Took a while to figure out the assembly. Took a couple of hours. I took the time to glue all of the dowels, which the instructions didn't mention. This thing is solid. No wobble. Easy to move around. Very impressed. Can't wait to ding it up.”

“I have had this workbench for several years and it has been a disappointment from the start. The table has had 1/8 inch cup from the time I took it out of the box to the fact it walks all over the place when you actually use it. The 2 X 4 frame is just way too light to be of any use, especially for this price. I contacted Sjobergs for help with the top and never received any assistance even though it is suppose to have a 10 year warranty. For a more detailed review go to www.reliabletoolreviews.com.”

“Just finished assembling my 1450 Workbench. Instructions were easy to understand and assembly went well. I love the workbench. Very sturdy for the price and great features. I like the fact that the vices can be interchanged to both ends or two in the front. I am a left hander and this is very nice to work with a vice on the side for lefties. I would definitely recommend this bench.”

“This is a good workbench. Easy to assemble using the simple instructions. One caveat: The bundled 4 mm allen key is probably not made in Sweden, to put it that way. It's soft metal, slightly too small for the holes, and will likely strip itself before the bench is assembled. So in addition to the 17mm wrench and T20 torx bit you need to assemble this, get an allen bit (or use a T30 - you can use a torx driver in a hex head, but never the other way around). And the bench top is fastened to the legs with only one screw per side. You may want to drill out at least a couple of dovel holes for extra stability. It's also not a very heavy bench, so filling the tray with tools and putting cork under the foot beams helps with stability. Overall, well recommended. A big step up from thin pine top workbenches.”
